How to Find Off-Market & Unlisted Homes
Some of the best properties never hit Zillow or the MLS. Through my network of local agents, builders, and private sellers, I give my clients early access to homes before they go public. These often include properties with assumable low-rate loans or flexible seller terms.
Buyer Strategy: Win Before Competition Returns
The most prepared buyers—those who know about off-market listings and understand assumable financing—are the ones getting the deals. I can send you new listings daily, including homes with seller credits, buydowns, and assumable loans in the 2–3% range.
