The Advantage

Our brokerage is the #1 Sotheby’s International Realty® Affiliate in California by sales volume. We have more than 465 agents in 23 offices representing active qualified buyers, as well as sellers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Our services encompass the following counties:

There are multiple strategies and options for launching your listing off MLS; to test demand or solicit active buyer bidding. We have the ADVANTAGE by being able to promote and market your listing as a Coming Soon or Private Exclusive listing without going public on the MLS. 

Coming soon listings are shared exclusively with our Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty’s Elite Agent Network throughout the SF Bay Area via our proprietary password-protected platform that only GGSIR agents can access. This starts in the “coming soon” property section of our platform. 

Our private exclusive inventory is email-marketed to our agents, notifying them that a new property is available that can be found on our e intranet site. Agents will be able to email the listing to their buyers who are looking for off-market opportunities. In this instance, the property will not be found on any public websites such as Zillow.com, Trulia.com or Realtor.com. This gives our buyers a certain advantage.
