In today’s fast-moving real estate market, timing is everything. The most desirable homes often sell within weeks of hitting the MLS. That’s why I offer a unique resource for my serious buyers: Discreetly Available Listings.


These are properties that are not yet publicly listed, but are quietly being prepared for market. With early access to this list, you’ll have a head start before the wider public even knows these homes are available.


What Are Discreetly Available Listings?

These are off-market or “coming soon” homes that sellers have shared privately within our brokerage network. They’re not on Zillow, Redfin, or the MLS—but they’re available to buyers working with the right connections.


As a dual-brokerage agent with both Carmel Realty Company and Monterey Coast Realty, I have access to two of the most exclusive networks on the Monterey Peninsula. That means you’ll get early insight into about 25% of upcoming listings in the area—before they hit the public market.


Why It Matters

In a competitive market, serious buyers need every advantage. Discreetly Available Listings can help you:

  • Act fast on homes that match your criteria

  • Avoid the frenzy of a multiple-offer situation

  • Plan ahead for properties that may be a fit in the near future

  • Find hidden opportunities before they’re gone


How to Access the List

I hold the updated list at all times and will share it directly with my active buyer clients. If you’re seriously looking—or just want to stay ahead of the curve—reach out and I’ll provide you with the latest version. See example list here or at the bottom of my "tools" tab on my website.


This is a no-pressure way to stay in the know, explore options, and get early access to homes that others won’t see until it’s too late. Let’s give you the edge you need in this market.
