Follow the Money: The Pocket Listing Power Grab
About this episode
It’s a solo episode today—just me, a mic, and a whole lot of truth bombs. I was in such a rush to push this out, that I even forgot to add the teaser and closer. In a way, I am doing you a favor and saving you a few minutes (getting right to the point)!
We’re diving deep into pocket listings; what they are, who’s pushing them, and why they’re suddenly everywhere. Spoiler alert: it’s not about “exclusivity” or “better service.” It’s about control, commissions, and keeping you, the buyer or seller, just informed enough to sign, but not enough to question.
I’ll break down the biggest players driving this trend (looking at you, Compass, Homes.com, and even Zillow), what they’re really after, and how it all adds up to a power grab that benefits them—not you.
This episode is your inside look at the game behind the scenes, the one most people don’t realize they’re playing until it’s too late. Because in an industry that’s supposed to help you find a home, sometimes you have to REBEL to actually see the full picture.
