Homeowner Pathways / The 4 Paths / Investor Marketplace

Let investors compete for your home, off-market.

Your property is never placed on the MLS or public listing sites. Instead, your home's details, photos, and a video walkthrough are shared directly with our list of vetted local investors, who review the property and submit competing offers. You get the privacy of staying off-market, with the upside of real competition driving the number up.

Multiple competing offers
No public listing
No open houses
Often 2–4 week close

How the investor marketplace works

Rather than sending your property to a single cash buyer, your home's details, photos, and a video walkthrough are presented to a curated list of investors who evaluate it and submit their own offers. Your property is not placed on the MLS or any public listing site, but it is actively shown to this investor list so they can make informed, competitive offers. Because more than one buyer is reviewing and bidding, the final number is often stronger than a single cash offer alone.

On this path, it's common for the listing agent to also represent the buyer side of the transaction once an investor is selected, since the deal stays off-market. This dual representation is permitted under California law with your written, informed consent, which is always obtained and explained clearly before any offer is presented.

The honest tradeoffs

Where this path wins

  • Competitive bidding usually beats a single cash offer
  • Stays off-market, no public listing, no strangers walking through your home
  • Faster than a traditional on-market sale
  • You see every offer before deciding, nothing is chosen for you

Where it falls short

  • Still typically below full on-market retail price
  • Pool of buyers is limited to the active investor network at the time
  • Requires written consent to potential dual agency representation

Common questions about this path

It varies by property and market conditions, but most homes attract multiple interested investors, which is the core advantage of this path over a single cash offer.
No. This path stays off the MLS and public listing sites, no public marketing, no open houses. That said, your home's photos and a video walkthrough are shared directly with our list of vetted investors so they can evaluate and bid on the property.
You'll always have a clear, written explanation of representation before any offer is presented, including whether dual agency applies, with your informed consent required first.
The investor marketplace usually nets a higher number than a single cash offer because multiple buyers are competing, though it can take slightly longer since offers are gathered before a decision is made.
