Real TeaAlternatives Exist to Off-Market Listings: Colleen BarryLet's talk about off-market transactions.
Colleen Barry and I are seeing a higher-than-normal number of off-market or "pocket" listings—properties that aren't publicly listed on the open market.

The takeaway? Off-market listings have their shortcomings, and the ideal real estate transaction exposes a property to all realtors and buyers in an effort to obtain the mos...
