TODAY’S FEATURE:

šŸ˜ The Best Deals Aren’t Always Listed…And That’s the Point

Let’s be real: inventory is tight, buyers are picky, and the MLS is more competitive than ever.

So what are smart agents doing?

They’re not waiting for the market.
They’re working it.

Off-market deals aren’t magical or secret.
They’re intentional.
They come from relationships, resourcefulness, and a mindset that says, ā€œIf I can’t find the deal, I’ll create one.ā€

Here’s how to work off-market like a pro - and open up a whole new world of deals (and referrals) in the process.

🧠 1ļøāƒ£ Start With Your Buyer Match Game

Have a buyer looking for something specific? Great. Use that as your hook.

āœ… Pull absentee owner lists
āœ… Search expired listings and withdrawn properties
āœ… Network with landlords or wholesalers
āœ… Knock on a few doors (yes, really)

Script to use: ā€œI’ve got a serious buyer looking for a [3-bed, 2-bath with a pool] in [area]. Do you know anyone who’s thought about selling—even if they haven’t listed yet?ā€

You’re not selling—you’re matchmaking.

šŸ¤ 2ļøāƒ£ Invest in Your Investor Relationships

Want consistent off-market access? Build your circle.

Start reaching out to:

  • Flippers

  • Buy-and-hold landlords

  • Wholesalers

  • Probate attorneys

  • Hard money lenders

These people are either sitting on deals or need you to move one fast.

What to say: ā€œIf you ever need help moving a property quickly—on or off market—let me know. I’m plugged in with buyers who love fixer-uppers and fast closes.ā€

šŸ“¦ 3ļøāƒ£ Package the Opportunity, Not Just the Property

The best off-market agents know this isn’t about pretty photos.

It’s about the pitch.

šŸ“Œ Help the seller see the benefit (easy, private, no prep)
šŸ“Œ Help the buyer see the value (exclusive, first shot, less competition)
šŸ“Œ Position yourself as the deal creator, not just the deal finder

šŸ’¬ 4ļøāƒ£ Learn to Talk Like an Investor

Even if you don’t work with a lot of investors yet, learn the language.

āœ… Know basic ROI math
āœ… Understand BRRRR
āœ… Ask: ā€œWhat’s your buy box?ā€ or ā€œWhat cap rate are you looking for?ā€

Pro tip: Use these conversations to plant future opportunities: ā€œIf I come across something that fits your criteria, want me to send it your way?ā€

šŸ” 5ļøāƒ£ Use Off-Market Deals to Win More Listings

Here’s the twist: off-market doesn’t just help buyers. It helps you attract sellers.

Reach out to homeowners with:

  • Pre-approved buyer letters

  • ā€œReverse prospectā€ postcards

  • Quick-close cash buyer options

  • Leaseback offers for flexible timelines

You’re offering a solution, not just a sales pitch.

šŸ’” The Takeaway?

Off-market is a mindset.
It’s not about waiting, it’s about creating.

It’s about being the kind of agent who connects the dots, opens the doors, and gets the deal done before the listing even hits Zillow.

Because the best opportunities?
They’re not always listed.
But they’re always out there - for agents who know how to find them.

šŸŽØ Social Post Ideas to Share With Your Audience This Week

Help your clients, investors, or vendor partners understand how you work off-market.

🧭 1. ā€œI Work Off-Marketā€ Post

Post Prompt:
ā€œThe best homes don’t always hit the MLS. If you’re looking for something specific—or have a property you’d sell without going public—let’s talk.ā€

🧠 Why it works: It positions you as a resource, not just a Realtor.

šŸ’¬ 2. ā€œDo You Know Someone?ā€ Post

Post Prompt:
ā€œI’ve got a buyer looking for a home in [neighborhood]. If you know someone thinking of selling - even if they’re not listed - DM me!ā€

🧠 Why it works: Great for sparking referrals, not just leads.

šŸ›  3. Investor-Focused Outreach Post

Post Prompt:
ā€œI help investors find and move off-market properties fast. Looking to add to your portfolio? Let’s talk.ā€

🧠 Why it works: Attracts high-volume clients who value speed and discretion.

Title Slide: ā€œWhat’s an Off-Market Property?ā€
Slide 2: ā€œIt’s a home that’s for sale - but not publicly listedā€
Slide 3: ā€œWhy buyers love them: less competitionā€
Slide 4: ā€œWhy sellers love them: privacy + speedā€
Slide 5: ā€œWant access to off-market deals? I can help.ā€
