Pocket listings also provide more privacy to sellers who desire limited showings and access to their property. Hence, good can-

didates for pocket listings include high-profile and public figures like celebrities and politicians, people who need to move quickly, those who already have a buyer lined up, and sellers who wish to sell under the radar due to private issues.

“A family member who must sell a home because of a recent death in the family may not want strangers going through the home during this time, or a couple who must sell as part of a divorce decree may just want to get the sale over with,” says Sandy Neumann, marketing director and agent with Neumann Realty Corp., Jacksonville, Fla. Buyers also may benefit from pocket listings because they don’t have to compete with multiple offers, which can drive up the sales.

The disadvantages of pocket listings, however, can be strong

enough to dissuade sellers and agents from taking this route.

“When you don’t put your property on the MLS, it’s not avail-

able for the world to see,” says Melissa Zavala, broker with Broadpoint Properties in Encinitas, California. “Other agents cannot bring buyers, so the buyer pool is very small.” Consequently, the home may take longer to sell.

Also, “you’re at the greater mercy of your agent to locate a buyer, since no other agents will know the property is for sale,” says Glenn S. Phillips, CEO of Lake Homes Realty in Birmingham, Alabama.

Perhaps the biggest reason why many sellers forego pocket listings is that – despite the seller’s hope that the property will be seen as a unique and limited opportunity for a buyer – this strategy can often result in a lower sales price.

“If there were competing offers, that could bring a higher sales price for the seller,” Neumann says. “For buyers (of pocket-listed properties), they have less negotiating power. If the buyer really
