🚫 The Truth About Private Listings: What Homeowners in Claremont, Upland & Surrounding Areas Need to Know

📍 Serving Claremont, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Pomona, San Dimas, Glendora & Nearby

Hey Neighbors! 🏡

Let’s be honest—
When someone says “it’s not about the money,” you already know... 💸 It’s always about the money.

A brand-new study from Bright MLS just confirmed what many of us suspected:
Private listings (aka “office exclusives”) don’t actually help you—the homeowner.

Here’s what the research uncovered 📊
➡️ Based on 100,000+ listings (Sept. 2024 – Feb. 2025)

❌ No price boost: Homes listed privately didn’t sell for more than those on the MLS.
⏳ Slower sales: Private listings took 37 days to sell vs. 20 days for MLS-listed homes.
👀 Less visibility: Most private listings ended up on the MLS anyway—why waste time?

So, who benefits from a private listing?
Hint: Not you. It’s the listing agent and their broker who gain from limited exposure—not the seller.

📍 If you live in Claremont, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Pomona, San Dimas, Glendora or nearby—you deserve to have your home marketed fully, transparently, and competitively.

💡 Here’s what works:
Get your home on the MLS from day one.
Let buyers compete.
Maximize your exposure and your offers. ✅

👉 Bottom line?
Private listings = slower sales, no price gain, and less control.
MLS = visibility, speed, and more money in your pocket. 💰
