The owner talks to a few agents and those agents talk to clients wanting to buy that popular property type.
The agents talk to fellow agents to get an idea of what interest might be in the market. So before the property is listed? There are already people lining up to get in on it before it hits the MLS.
With our agent network we hear of properties. Put what you wish you could get in the areas you want to live in and the range you want to afford and let our property matchmaker find the perfect home for you. It may have JUST hit the market or it could be one about to.
There is no obligation to try so why not?
