Unlisted Homes, a startup featured at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, is introducing a platform that connects homeowners with potential buyers before their properties hit the market. Founded by entrepreneur Katie Hill, Unlisted Homes operates similarly to Zillow but focuses on properties not yet officially for sale.
Hill’s inspiration for Unlisted Homes stemmed from her desire to secure her dream retirement home, which was not currently listed. By engaging in a conversation with her neighbor about purchasing his house in the future, Hill recognized the need for a platform that facilitates such pre-sale connections.
Unlisted Homes leverages public records of over 21 million properties to create detailed profiles for each home, offering prospective buyers insights typically found in traditional real estate listings. The company recently unveiled its iOS app at TechCrunch Disrupt, expanding its accessibility and reach to a broader audience.
This approach not only eases the home buying process for interested individuals but also fosters meaningful connections between potential sellers and buyers, redefining how real estate transactions initiate and progress.
