Can I sell my house without a sign or a public listing?

Yes, you can sell your house without a sign or a public listing by marketing it privately. With no yard sign, no public listing and showings only by appointment with agents representing active buyers, your sale stays between you, your agent and serious buyers.

Why sellers want privacy

People choose a private sale during a divorce, a job change, an estate, a health matter, or simply because they value their privacy. A private sale keeps your plans, your price and your timeline off public sites.

What keeps it private

Public salePrivate sale
Yard signNo sign
Listed on public websitesNot on public websites
Open housesShowings by appointment only
Public price historyNo public record until closing

What becomes public

The sale itself is recorded with the county after closing, as every sale is. Until then, only you, your agent and the agents you approve know the home is for sale.

How it works on Chimpre

Your home is introduced only to agents whose active buyers fit it. Buyer's agents book showings within the schedule your agent sets, and showing instructions go only to confirmed showings.

See who is looking for a home like yours

Chimpre introduces your home to agents whose active buyers are searching for a home like yours, in your area, at your price, with the space they need. Your agent shows you who is interested before anything goes public.
