ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

Do most homes require a realtor to access?

Yes. In the Southern California desert, the majority of homes are located in gated communities or private neighborhoods. Because of this, they usually can’t be accessed without a licensed real estate agent.

 

This means:

 

Limited open houses: Unlike some markets where open houses are common, here most homes are shown by private appointment only.
Agent access required: Realtors use secure lockbox systems and have gate codes to access these communities, ensuring both security and privacy for homeowners.


Benefit to buyers: Working with an agent gives you streamlined access to a wide range of homes, including properties that aren’t easily available to the public.

 

So if you’re starting your search, it’s best to connect with an agent early — not only for access, but also for scheduling private or even virtual tours tailored to your needs.
