A meaningful share of the city’s best homes change hands quietly, through relationships rather than listings. If you only watch the public sites, you are seeing what is left.
An owner is ready to move but not ready to be on the market. No sign, no open house, no photographs circulating. The house is mentioned between agents who have worked together for years, and it sells to whichever buyer is already standing there.
Nothing about that process is secretive. It is simply faster than public marketing, and it rewards being known to the right people before the moment arrives.
519 Hickory Street
My buyers were in the room before anyone else arrived. We negotiated from there, with no competing offers to bid against, and closed at more than $400,000 below the original asking price.
Put your neighbourhoods, size, budget and timing in the comments box. A sentence on each is plenty to start.
