Early Access &
Off-Market Opportunities

Some of the most desirable homes never make it to the public market. Sellers may sell quietly to preserve privacy, test buyer interest, or simply avoid the demands of a traditional listing. In fact, over 20% of homes in Marin and San Francisco are bought and sold off-market.

At Hirst Homes, our network and trusted relationships give you access to exclusive opportunities you won’t find on Zillow, Redfin, or anywhere else online.

Your Questions, Answered.

  • Also known as pocket listings or private exclusives, off-market homes aren’t publicly advertised, meaning they won’t appear on listing sites or traditional real estate platforms. The best way to access these properties is by working with an agent who has the right relationships, local knowledge, and market expertise. As part of the Compass network, we have access to one of the largest agent networks in the country — opening doors to exclusive opportunities before they ever hit the market.

  • When you work with Hirst Homes, we start by getting to know exactly what you’re looking for, then leverage our network to connect you with homes that truly match your vision. This means fewer competing buyers, more thoughtful decision-making, and the ability to move early and confidently in a competitive market. We’ll introduce you to homes you won’t find anywhere else.

  • Selling off-market gives you privacy, control, and flexibility. By showcasing your home quietly to serious buyers, you generate meaningful interest without the pressure of public open houses or days accumulating on market. For sellers who value discretion and a more personal approach, it’s a strategy that can deliver strong results — on your terms.
