Start Here: How Who’s Got Pockets Works
New to the group or the network? This page explains what Who’s Got Pockets is, what you can post (and how to post it the right way), and how to get the most out of your membership — in about 3 minutes.
What Is Who’s Got Pockets?
Who’s Got Pockets is a 2,600+ member community of licensed Orange County & Southern California real estate agents, in two connected places:
- The Facebook group — day-to-day conversation, buyer needs, and seller-authorized off-market opportunities. Join it here.
- The private network at network.whosgotpockets.com — a members-only platform with the Buyer Needs Board, agent profiles, and groups. Free for licensed agents. Register here.
The one hard rule: no active MLS listings — ever. If it’s live on the MLS, everyone can already see it. The value here is what agents can’t see anywhere else.
Can I Post It? The Four Situations
Every property post in the group needs one of these status lines. Find your situation, copy the line, post with confidence.
GREEN — NOTHING SIGNED YET
No listing agreement, owner gave permission. You may share the city, beds, and an approximate size or price range.
“No listing agreement signed — shared early with the owner’s permission. Contact me.”
YELLOW — CRMLS COMING SOON
Signed and entered in CRMLS as Coming Soon (max 21 days, no showings during the window). Full details are OK.
“In CRMLS as Coming Soon — sharing here for extra agent visibility.”
BLUE — MLS WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY
Signed and going into the MLS within one business day. Full details are OK.
“Going into the MLS within 1 business day — consider this your head start.”
QUIET LANE — REGISTERED OFF-MLS
Signed listing with CAR Form SELM, staying off the MLS. No property details anywhere — this only:
“Off-market situation in [city] — contact me directly.”
General information for group members — not legal advice. MLS rules (including CRMLS Clear Cooperation) and broker policies change; confirm with your broker or a qualified real estate attorney.
Buyer Needs: The Always-Safe Post
Property posts have rules. Buyer-need posts have none. Telling other agents who your buyer is and what they’re looking for is always compliant, always welcome, and it flips the matching: instead of waiting for the right property to appear, the right listing agent finds you.
- Post your buyer’s city, budget, and must-haves on the Buyer Needs Board in the network
- Filter the board by city to match your seller-authorized opportunities against active buyers
- Include your name, brokerage, DRE #, cell, and email so agents can reach you fast
Members only — you’ll be asked to sign in or register (free).
