Where's all the inventory?  Yes, it's growing, but it's also all selling nearly immediately.  There are buyers who are all cash, loan-committed, or at least pre-approved, anxiously waiting for you to get them what they want ASAP.

You need two things: to get your buyers in contract and to find more listings for your own inventory.  

In this 2-part podcast series, we will show you how to accomplish both!

Before we get to the secret sources and strategies, here are some thoughts to consider:

1.     How well do you know what your buyers are actually looking for?  Are they (or you) being too specific or overly obsessed with certain areas, amenities, or schools?   It may be time to discuss having some flexibility.  Know your buyer client's 'must have' versus 'would be nice to have' criteria.

2.     Stop relying only on your MLS.  This is one method but is no longer THE method.

Commit to following these strategies for every qualified and motivated buyer (especially those who also have listings to sell), or simply refer them to an agent who will do a better job for them. It's not fair for buyers to not be in contract simply because you haven't been strategic enough to find them something!

The goal of the following strategies is to:

-Find off-market homes for you to list.

-Find off-market homes to sell to your buyers so they no longer lose out to competition. If you want to stop competing (and losing), you MUST find homes they're unlikely to compete on!

Now for your 20 Strategies to find off-market or hidden listings:

1.     Get more creative with your MLS searches.  If your buyers keep losing out to multiple bids, search your MLS using the same criteria but for homes that have been on the market for more than 60 days, more than 90 days, etc.  They probably won't be competing for those homes.  Maybe they would consider a duplex in the same area, especially if it provides income for them.  Have you had these conversations?

2.     Expand the search for your buyers geographically.  If they say they want 'these three zip codes in Austin,' for example, identify WHY those zip codes and find other areas that have more inventory but feel similar to those zip codes.  Same for school districts, amenities, etc.  Maybe they just like the neighborhood park in that neighborhood, but there's a BETTER one 10 miles away.
