Off The Market

The conversations that happen on the way to sold.

Off The Market is me across the table from the people who actually run the machine.

The inspector who has seen what is behind the drywall and has stopped being surprised. The stager who furnishes a life nobody lives in. The appraiser whose job is to say no. The agent who has closed nine hundred deals and could write a book the brokerage would never let them publish. These are the people who know how the business really works, and they are usually funny about it, because you have to be.

The show is candid and it is dry, and the humor is the point rather than the seasoning. Real estate is a genuinely absurd profession (we put strangers' families in our cars and drive them toward the biggest purchase of their lives, and we do it on commission), and pretending otherwise has never made a single client trust an agent more. So we don't pretend.
