Our MLS just changed it to where it has to be on MLS if you are advertising it. I can put it on Social Media after it goes on MLS & get a pretty immediate reaction.

I don't... I like to do a big roll-out on the day of listing. Seems to get more attention that way.

Absolutely! It generates great anticipation and significantly increased traffic the first 1-3 days on the market. This, more often than not, results in fewer days on the market and a higher list-to-sales price for our sellers.

I work with flippers, so I tend to have a few months lead time to market before they go into the MLS.  So yes, I do market them ahead of them being in the MLS.

The board would love make sure an agent has no options except total reliance on the MLS to make a sale.

I go to great lengths to ensure I can get a house sold without the MLS. But, as you suggest, I must go through the motions.  

I do not use social media for early listings....I USE MY LIST. The owner/seller expects to see their house on SM, but the buyer does not originate from that source.

You only have 1 shot at being a new listing. Posting them before they can be seen leads to upset buyers. I like to make a huge splash when they are ready to be seen. I dont want to waste the big bang when i cant get buyers in
