Do realtors have any advantage when it comes to seeing the listing for properties before they are visible on the common real estate website (zillow et al)? I always assumed it was so, but I’d love to hear one way or another.


Every property we have ever purchased, except the first one, was not on the open market and the result of an agent/broker "knowing someone" that had what we wanted and managing to work out a deal for us.


Usually they do; specifically the MLS has a listing type for before the house is on the market that only agents can see.
