        "text": "Risks associated with buying off-market properties include limited access to information, potential for overpaying due to lack of comparative listings, and the absence of a competitive bidding process that can validate market value. It's crucial to thoroughly vet every aspect of the property and transaction. A practical tradeoff is that while you avoid public competition, you might also miss out on the transparency and standardized disclosures typically associated with MLS listings, necessitating more independent verification.",
