The Open Market Advantage – Why MLS Matters

Did you know sellers lost over $1 billion in just two years by skipping the MLS?

A new Zillow study confirms what we’ve always known: limited exposure means limited opportunity. Some brokerages recommend off-market sales without explaining the risks—fewer buyers, fewer offers, and lower sale prices.

At The Blanchard Team, we do things differently. We give sellers all the facts.

And here’s the truth: 99% of our clients choose the open market—and walk away with stronger results.

Want serious buyers and competitive offers?

Don’t limit your reach. Go MLS.

Off-Market vs. MLS Sales

Sellers who skip the MLS leave $60K+ on the table on average (Zillow, 2024).

Buyers lose out too—less transparency = fewer choices.

We stand by fair, open, and competitive real estate.

Thinking about selling? Let’s talk. The right strategy makes all the difference.
