Willoughby, of The Jaymes Willoughby Team, critiques off-market listings, asserting they rarely yield better deals for sellers. He emphasizes the obligation to maximize exposure for higher returns, criticizing agents who prioritize personal gain. Coleman supports this view, arguing that exclusivity limits potential buyers. In contrast, Dombrowski acknowledges valid uses for off-market listings when ethically applied, particularly in fast-moving markets. He asserts that transparency with sellers ensures informed decisions about exposure versus privacy or renovations, illustrating that the method isnât inherently negative if approached correctly.
Iâve yet to see convincing data that says keeping a home off the market nets a better deal for the seller.
Some agents use off-market listings as a way to double-dip commissions.
In most cases, thatâs just not true. Youâre artificially limiting your market.
When used ethically and transparently, off-market listings can be an effective tool.
