I had a call today with a potential investor who’s also a licensed realtor. Her frustration? “I’m looking for deals on the MLS every day… and I can't find any!” And honestly — that’s not a her problem. It’s a where you’re looking problem. Here’s what most investors (and even many agents) don’t realize 👇 🚫 The MLS Isn’t Where the Best Deals Live Auction properties: • Do NOT show up on the MLS • Often don’t show on Zillow or Redfin • Are sold before they ever hit retail markets By the time a property is listed on the MLS, it’s already been: ✔ Cleaned up ✔ Priced at market value ✔ Shopped to retail buyers Which means… the margins are usually gone. 🔍 Where Real Discounted Deals Come From Most deeply discounted opportunities are found through: County & 3rd-party auction sites This is where investors are buying before retail pricing, not competing with it. 🏠 Why Realtors Feel Stuck Even experienced agents get boxed in because: MLS deals rely on appreciation, not acquisition, Sellers price emotionally, not logically, & Investor spreads get thinner in hot markets. Auctions flip that equation. 🚀 Want Help Finding Deals OFF the MLS?
