        "text": "Sellers often choose pocket listings for privacy, to test the market discreetly, or to avoid the disruptions of public showings and open houses. This approach can be appealing to high-profile individuals or those with unique properties who prefer a controlled sales process. One practical tradeoff is that while it offers discretion, the exposure to potential buyers is more limited compared to a broad MLS listing, which might affect the final sale price or time on market. However, it can generate significant interest from pre-qualified buyers within our network.",
