The pre-market era is here.
Zillow launched Zillow Preview with Keller Williams, RE/MAX, HomeServices of America, Side, and United Real Estate. eXp Realty is syndicating Coming Soon listings to Realtor.com, Homes.com, and ComeHome.com through Zenlist. Compass, Rocket, and Redfin formed an alliance expanding phased-listing visibility across platforms.
Pre-market attention is the new battleground. Your ads need to start earlier too.
The listing journey is no longer one moment
Homes now move through multiple phases: private visibility, brokerage sharing, coming-soon promotion, public portal exposure, then full active-market launch. The single listing debut is over.
Today, listings build attention in phases:

Use portals for exposure.Use Walled Garden for ownership.
A portal may display a listing earlier. None of that guarantees that you own the lead, shape the message, or start the first meaningful conversation.
Zillow Preview puts pre-market homes in front of 235 million users on Zillow and Trulia — but during the preview period, buyers may connect with the listing agent or schedule a tour with a Zillow partner agent. eXp is syndicating Coming Soon listings across Realtor.com, Homes.com, and ComeHome.com simultaneously.
Exposure is rapidly becoming commoditized. The differentiator is no longer where a home appears — it's who creates the momentum around it.

More pre-market activity demands more discipline, not less
eXp's new distribution program is explicitly subject to seller approval and local MLS rules. Zillow Preview operates within applicable local frameworks for pre-active listings. As pre-market strategies accelerate, agents cannot treat "Coming Soon" as a free-for-all.
Walled Garden helps agents launch compelling pre-market campaigns that align with the rules governing public promotion in their market — organized, repeatable, and easier to manage.
The winning platforms help agents market earlier, more intentionally, and with clearer guardrails.

Features and listing promotion availability may depend on brokerage participation, local MLS rules, and applicable portal requirements.
