Off-Market Listings Explained: Quiet Sales, Pocket Listings & Today’s SLO Market Reality

🎙️ Episode Overview In this episode of the SLO County Real Estate Podcast, Hal Sweasey and the team break down one of the most misunderstood topics in today’s market: off-market listings — also known as quiet listings or pocket listings. From real-world stories to market data, this conversation explains when selling off-market makes sense, when it doesn’t, and how today’s more balanced market changes the risk and reward for both buyers and sellers.
