Why This Matters
Fact: The longer you take to deliver what your buyers want, the less faith they’ll have in you.
If you’ve ever been ghosted by a client you’ve shown homes to, this could be why. Are your buyers being more proactive than you?
Fact: Finding the right house in today’s market is like going on safari. You’re hunting for something scarce, possibly hidden in plain sight, and you’ll need better tools and sharper instincts to succeed.
Yes, you should keep those buyer drips running—but that’s not enough. If you want to win in today’s market, you must be the one actively and creatively mining your MLS. Here’s how:
1. Re-Examine Your Buyer’s Wants and Needs
What’s a deal killer and what’s a deal-maker—and more importantly, why?
If your buyers are stuck on a specific neighborhood, dig into the reason. Is it the clubhouse? Walking trails? Proximity to work or school?
There are probably 10 other neighborhoods that offer the same features. Your job is to expand their search criteria to uncover more possibilities.
Pro Tip: Ask, “If you could clone this neighborhood, where else could you see yourself living?”
2. Target Stale Listings
If your buyers can’t—or won’t—compete for hot listings, change your strategy.
Search for homes that have been on the market 30+ days, 60+ days, or even longer. These properties often come with:
- Less competition
- More negotiable sellers
- Greater flexibility on terms
Don’t overlook them just because others have.

3. Always Include New Construction (Even If They Said No)
Even if your clients insist they’re not interested in new homes, add one well-selected new construction option to the end of your tour list.
They may be surprised by:
- The appeal of all-new everything
- Warranty and energy efficiency
- Choosing their own finishes
- No need for repairs or updates
You’re not selling—you’re showing options.
4. Think Beyond School District Boundaries
Can’t find the right home in the right school district?
Call the district directly and ask if they allow out-of-district enrollment for a fee. More and more districts are offering this, with tuition ranging from around $1,000 per year and up.
When homes just outside the district are cheaper and taxed lower, tuition may more than pay for itself.
This little-known hack can dramatically expand your buyer’s options.

5. Use Your Sphere as a Private MLS
Look at your past clients and sphere of influence as an off-market listing source.
Ask yourself:
- Who owns a home that meets your buyer’s needs?
- Do they know the current value of their home?
- Would that knowledge influence their plans to move?
Who in your database has recently:
- Been relocated?
- Gotten divorced?
- Had a third child and needs a fourth bedroom?
Reach out. Ask questions. Create opportunities.
6. Knock on Opportunity’s Door
Take it to the streets—literally. Knock on doors in the neighborhoods your buyers are targeting. Leave a simple, eye-catching flyer:
“WANTED: Your home for my pre-approved, highly motivated buyer clients. Looking only in 12 Trees. Must have at least 3 bedrooms. Flexible closing date!”
You’ll be amazed at what happens when you’re the only agent proactively looking for listings that aren’t even on the market yet.
Your Homework:
This week, take a close look at each of your buyer clients.
Use all six strategies with every one of them—every single week—until you find success.
And most importantly?
Tell your buyers what you’re doing. Let them know you’re not just setting and forgetting a drip—you’re hunting.
