A new website has launched to match buyers seeking a specific property with sellers. "Agents and brokers can post sellers' off-market properties and buyers' property desires, such as bedroom and bathroom configuration, city, and square footage, to the portal while keeping the names of both private. They can then search for matches in the portal database for both." reports Inman News.

The Producers Forum, which launched in Palo Alto in 2010, is for real estate professionals only and has about 500 members in the San Fransisco Bay area.  The listings are off-market listings that are available but not "officially" listed in the MLS.

The Producers Forum has no affiliation with any real estate company and does not allow any public web access in order to provide confidentiality for the homeowners.

The website says that listings include withdrawn properties, upcoming properties not yet listed in the MLS, listed properties that are not on the MLS, discrete sellers who desire investment buyers, sellers with privacy concerns or properties that may need work before they go on MLS.

"Agents can also search the portal for listings and send messages to community members. The national service has launched first in the greater San Francisco Bay Area." said Inman News, and that they plan to "expand market by market across the country."
