Millennials are refusing to shop with the masses. They use technology to their advantage. Sean Erenstoft from Sotheby’s and part of Gen/X is like most millennials who do their due diligence online. He like the instant satisfaction of the internet; and can find anything at any time to become an instant expert about what he want to know.

You can call Sean Erenstoft to locate a property you want to buy. That’s because there are sites out there like Zillow and HomeFinder that purport to have the latest market offering. But they don’t! The best place to look is with the MLS which requires that you contact an agent.

By email, Sean Erenstoft is contacted by 1000’s of Sotheby’s agents who privately offer clients’ properties for sale that haven’t yet been published. Their called Pocket Listings and that’s how he bought his own home. These are properties that are about to be for sale but because the seller usually doesn’t want to widely publicize the sale or wants to remain private they ask their agent to quietly inquire about buyers. This happens a lot here in Beverly Hills and Bel Air.

Millennials who are smart try to avoid shopping with the masses. They look for ways to cut-in-line and thrive to know what’s out there before the competition. That’s the advantage of engaging with an agent tied into the real estate industry. Sean Erenstoft have the inside scoop on what’s about to become available and can translate that into a competition-free environment where you can take advantage of listings that haven’t yet made it to the market.

Telling clients about properties that are privately up for sale is not illegal. You may have used online sites to figure out where you might want to live, but you should begin your search in earnest by contacting me to have me map out all the properties that fit your budget and your personal requirements. This includes the pocket listings Sean Erenstoft explained referenced above. Even if you are not in a hurry, let me set you up to receive email alerts about every new listing in the market in which you’re interested. The knowledge just pours into your phone – just like we like it!
