DC Private Exclusive Listings
The party you weren't invited to.
“How did I miss that?”
Does it feel like there was a great private party and you weren’t invited when you hear that properties are being bought and sold without ever coming on the market?
You’re not alone, and it’s not just FOMO. With inventory so tight in the District, you need every advantage possible in the market.
What Are Private Exclusives?
Private Exclusives are off-market listings on the Compass network, available only through Compass agents to our clients. You won’t find them on public real estate search sites, or the MLS. A significant portion of DC real estate is being marketed and sold on private networks, and Compass has the largest and most sophisticated of them all.
Fortunately, we can offer you an invitation!
Why Do Sellers List Off-Market?
Private Exclusive listings allow sellers to test the market privately, gather key insights and commentary on pricing without the penalty MLS and the market impose for the number of days (Days On Market) the property has been listed.
Some sellers also wish to list off-market for privacy reasons.
Do Private Exclusives Impact Buyers?
Yes, quite a bit! Since a significant portion of Washington DC real estate inventory is listed and sold off-market, buyers without access to off-market networks are missing out on these opportunities because they don’t know they exist.
Should You Take Advantage of Private Exclusive Listings?
Absolutely! Whether you’re a seller or buyer, PE listings offer a meaningful market advantage and opportunities you won’t find anywhere else. Having access to the widest scope of off-market listings will help you estimate value, test the market, or find the home you desire. Welcome to the party!
