THE 48-HOUR
OFF-MARKET HOME
GOLD RUSH CHALLENGE
Get 500+ Hidden, Off-Market
MOTIVATED-OWNER HOMES
Matched To YOUR Exact
Buying Criteria, Delivered in 48hrs
(and often in just 6-8 hours)
or We Pay You $1,000!
Bay Area home buyers are frustrated right now. Inventory is low, competition is fierce, and the best homes receive multiple offers in days.
But here’s the truth most home buyers never hear:
Your dream home probably
Is not on the MLS.
It’s hidden. It's Off-Market.
And most agents have
No idea how to find it!
How This 48hr Challenge Works in 3 Simple Steps:
1️⃣ Send us what you want (form below)
-
YOUR exact criteria
2️⃣ We run our HomeHunter Engine
3️⃣ You get 500+ off-market homes
-
Custom matched to you
-
Owners with seller Motivations
No phone call needed. Just results.
⭐ All 100% Free ⭐
If this sounds almost too good to be true, that’s normal — most buyers have never seen how off-market opportunities actually work until they see the data for themselves.
For 26 years, we’ve refined a proprietary off-market home discovery system — our HomeHunter Engine — that uncovers thousands of hidden home opportunities most buyers and agents never even know exist. We’ve successfully represented clients in more than 350 Bay Area transactions, and our systems now allow us to identify high-quality off-market matches for our buyers with remarkable speed and accuracy.
Now, we’re putting our system to the test…FOR YOU
At zero cost, zero pressure, and zero obligation.
You don't have to meet with us.
You don't even have to talk with us!
🎯 Who This Is For
(and Who It's Not)
This challenge is designed for people looking to buy a home to live in — as well as long-term, buy-and-hold investors who are focused on creating advantageous buying opportunities.
This process is not designed for those seeking guaranteed profit margins, pre-negotiated “flip deals,” or short-term, quick-hit investment opportunities. Results come from identifying motivated homeowners and having real conversations — not from chasing discounted listings.
⭐ Here is How the 48-Hour Challenge Works
1️⃣ Tell Us EXACTLY What You Want
-
Your preferred city or zip code
-
Minimum bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage
2️⃣ We Approve Your Submission
-
We confirm your criteria are realistic for the Bay Area market
-
Once approved (usually within minutes), you’ll receive an email with: “Challenge Submission Accepted — Your 48-Hour Timer Has Started!”
3️⃣ Within 48 Hours, You Receive a List of 500+ Off-Market Property Profiles
-
Most participants receive their customized list much sooner — typically within 6-8 hours.
-
Our proprietary HomeHunter Engine lets us fast-track your results without sacrificing quality.
These are NOT active listings.
These ARE properties that match your criteria and historically show the highest likelihood of selling off-market, at a discount, due to the fact that the homeowners are motivated.
These ARE...
-
Vacant homes
-
Inherited homes
-
Bank-Owned homes
-
Absentee-Owner homes
-
Distressed homes
-
Bankruptcy related homes
-
Out of State Landlord homes
-
IRS/State Lien homes
-
Often quite beautiful homes
-
Secret Off-Market currently for sale homes
And if we cannot deliver at least 500 matches in 48hrs?
You Get $1,000 — Cash.
No meeting.
No contract.
No obligation.
No strings attached.
No risk.
Just proof of what we can do.
➡ And you only speak with us if YOU want to — never because you have to.
⭐ Why This Should Matter to You (Even If You're New to Home Buying)
Most buyers only see public listings — the homes already on Zillow, Redfin, or the MLS. But the best deals almost never hit the public market.
Here’s why off-market homes are such a big advantage:
-
No bidding wars
-
You aren't competing with 5-50+ other buyers
-
You and I will likely be the ONLY buyer and agent who even knows the homeowner wants to sell
-
-
Less pressure
-
Sellers are often more flexible
-
-
Better pricing
-
Many off-market sellers are motivated (vacant, inherited, distressed, liens, out-of-state owners, legal judgments, pre-foreclosures, etc.)
-
Getting a good, or GREAT deal is possible (some amazing examples mentioned below)
-
-
Early access
-
You see opportunities BEFORE the general public
-
Your custom list is not just “data”… it’s your private, personal catalog of hidden opportunities most buyers AND MOST AGENTS never even know exist.
⭐ What Could We DO With Your 500+ Off-Market Opportunities?
This isn’t just a spreadsheet filled with motivated homeowners — it’s the engine behind your personalized home buying journey.
Here’s the behind-the-scenes process:
1️⃣ We identify properties matching your criteria:
Beds, baths, square footage, cities, neighborhoods — exactly what YOU want.
(Note: For our buyer clients, we can usually identify significantly MORE than 500 homes!)
2️⃣ We flag the highest-motivated sellers. This is where your real advantage begins:
Vacant homes • Pre-Foreclosures • Tax Liens • Inherited homes • Out-of-State Owners • Bank-Owned • “Secret List” Off-Market Sellers • Bankruptcies • Legal Judgments • and Other Secret homes
3️⃣ We privately reach out to these sellers for you.
These are the steps 99.9% of agents don't know about and NEVER do.
We contact them directly and ask:
👉 “Would you consider selling off-market to a well-qualified buyer?”
4️⃣ You get access to homes nobody else ever even knows about.
Sometimes our clients save 5–25% vs. public market pricing.
Sometimes they skip bidding wars entirely.
Sometimes they find properties they didn’t even know they could afford.
Your custom list is simply the START — the real magic is what happens AFTER you receive it.
🎁 What You’ll Receive From This Free Challenge
Every valid participant receives a customized buyer package including:
✔ 500+ Off-Market Property Profiles Matching or Exeeding your Exact Home-Buying Criteria
This is NOT a list of homes currently for sale — it’s a list of homes with owners that are likely motivated to be willing sellers, based on over a dozen strong seller-motivation signals, triggers, and events.
Each profile includes:
-
Street Name
-
City & Zip Code
-
# of Bedrooms & Bathrooms
-
Approx. Square Footage
-
Approx. Lot Size
-
Off-Market Seller Motivation category (ie. Vacant, Inherited, Pre-Foreclosure, Bank-Owned, Tax-Lien, Absentee Landlord, Distressed, Bankruptcy, etc…or homes already identified through our proprietary Secret List of current Off-Market properties for sale)
Most searches that we perform generate significantly more than 500 property matches (often 1000s), but for the purposes of this challenge we guarantee you’ll receive at least 500 — and often many more
✔ Your Personalized Off-Market Opportunity Map
A visual map view showing many of the hidden opportunities that match your preferred city or zip code
✔ The Simone Team’s HomeHunter Engine Advantage
These results come from our 12-channel off-market discovery system — the exact techniques responsible for many of our clients purchasing properties before they ever hit the open market, sometimes at a significant discount.
You’ll see a level of market transparency that almost no other buyers ever experience.
📊 Here's a Sample of Some Actual Off-Market Property Matches
This is a blurred sample showing the format and type of data you'll receive.
But our deliverable for you will be tailored to YOUR EXACT, SPECIFIC home-buying criteria that you provide us in the form below. Our goal with this challenge is to prove that we can DELIVER for YOU, before you ever even have to talk or meet with us!
Full street information and additional details are only provided to real buyers who join the challenge.
And here is a sample of the interactive MAP we'll send you showing you where all your best opportunities land in the area you have chosen as your City/Zip code criteria.
⭐ What Real Buyers Are Saying
These Off-Market Opportunities Have Already Helped Local Families Win Big
Here are real results from Bay Area families who’ve worked with us using our off-market system.
🏡 “We bought our home 28% under market price—without competing!”
— Matt & Lindsey C. - San Jose
“We had been outbid multiple times for over 6 months working with another agent before meeting Chris & Francine. Their off-market system found us a home on their existing Secret List we didn’t even know existed. With the help of The Simone Team, we were in contract to buy our dream home within 2 days (CRAZY!) and ended up buying that home in San Jose for 28% below market value, and we were the only buyers who even knew it was available for sale. I wish we had found them months earlier.”
🏡 “Saved roughly 14% and avoided a multiple-offer nightmare.”
— Chris & Tiffanie L. - San Jose
“I was getting discouraged by bidding wars working with another agent. The Simone Team showed me a list of hidden homes that fit exactly what I wanted. 7 were immediately available for sale secretly off-market. One of them was our DREAM HOUSE! They negotiated directly with the seller and closed at a price $155,000 lower than similar homes selling publicly. It was the easiest home-buying experience I’ve ever had.”
🏡 “We estimate we saved at least $200,000 thanks to an off-market opportunity.”
— Drew & Maria M. - Morgan Hill
“We were new buyers and weren’t even sure we could afford a single-family home. Chris found us a gorgeous off-market property currently in pre-foreclosure. There was no competition, no stress, and the price was around 24% less than comparable homes for sale at the time. Saved us over $200,000! Absolutely life-changing.”
🏡 A Quick, Honest Note About These Results…
These success stories are 100% real.
We can show you the documentation, closing statements, and property histories for any of them. Some of these results — saving 20–28% — were exceptional wins, created through very specific circumstances (inherited properties, out-of-state owners, pre-foreclosures, vacant homes, etc.). It is our goal to create such opportunities for all our buyer clients.
But here's the important part:
These outcomes aren’t “typical”
…but they’re also not rare
We routinely uncover opportunities where our clients purchase at 5–10% below market value, which depending on the home, often means $40,000 to well over $200,000 in savings — even when they purchase a home that IS listed on the MLS. In fact, just this month we helped one of our buyer clients (Gloria L) purchase a home that was ON the MLS for 12% below the original list price. But when we can identify Off-Market opportunities, it just make it easier and increase the odds in your favor.
And because we have specialized negotiation strategies for both off-market and on-market homes, our clients often win favorable terms and prices even in competitive bidding situations.
Bottom line:
You may or may not buy an off-market home. You may or may not save 5-20%+
But with us, your chances of:
✔ finding your dream home
✔ avoiding bidding wars
✔ getting a better price
✔ uncovering hidden opportunities
…are dramatically higher than with other agents.
We can’t promise you an extraordinary deal. But we can promise you an extraordinary effort to find you the best deal possible — backed by systems and experience you won’t find anywhere else.

🛡️ “Is This For Real?” — Yes.
And Here’s How We Actually Deliver FAST
We get this question a lot — and it’s fair
Most agents could never deliver 500+ off-market opportunities in 48 hours.
But we can, because:
✔ We’ve spent 26 years building the Bay Area’s strongest off-market discovery system. Our proprietary 12-channel HomeHunter Engine continuously tracks thousands of hidden home-selling signals that typical buyers and agents never see
✔ We maintain a massive, constantly refreshed database of off-market opportunities: Vacant homes, inherited homes, distressed properties, out-of-state landlords, tax-lien homes, bank owned, and more
✔ Your submission triggers automated filtering + custom data modeling. Within hours, your criteria are matched against every relevant off-market data channel
✔ That’s why most participants get their custom list in 6-8 hours—well before the 48-hour deadline
This isn’t luck.
This is 26 years of system-building and thousands of hours of data engineering.
🧭 What This Challenge Is Not
❌ Not a list of current, on the MLS homes
❌ Not “coming soon” listings other agents can see
❌ Not a commitment to work with us
❌ Not an agency agreement
❌ Not a bait-and-switch of any kind
Simply extra home buying opportunities specific for you, delivered with zero pressure.
🌟 Why We Created This Challenge
SO important! Most buyers hire an agent without first learning whether that agent actually delivers value.
This challenge flips the industry upside-down.
Before you decide if you want to work with us — OR EVEN TALK TO US — you get to see exactly how powerful our off-market buying system is.
If you love what you receive and you'd like to explore the idea of working with us, we can talk.
If not, you walk away with a massive amount of valuable information — free.
And we won’t chase you with endless calls or emails — you stay in control, and you only reach out to us if and when you want help.
🌟 What Happens After This Challenge
The 500+ off-market homes you receive in this challenge — delivered within 48 hours — are really just the tip of the iceberg, to show you what we can do in a very short period of time. If you eventually decide to become one of our actual buyer clients, we will use your exact, and even more detailed buying criteria, to uncover hundreds—often thousands—of off-market opportunities that match your needs specifically. We can pinpoint the exact area/neighborhood you want, exact # of bedrooms and bathrooms, and exact square footage range, even more detailed than the form below. Then we aggressively go after those properties on your behalf to find you off-market buying opportunities.
Your list of 500+ isn’t the end — it’s how we identify motivated homeowners and start quiet conversations to see who’s open to selling directly to you.
Most agents and buyers never find these opportunities. This is where our system gives you a real home-buying advantage.
🚀 Start the 48-Hour Challenge
Fill out the form below...
Once your criteria is submitted and validated, the 48-hour clock begins (usually within minutes)!
Most receive their off-market opportunity list in just a few business hours after submission. Even if you’re months away from buying, this gives you visibility into opportunities most buyers never see — without any commitment.
Your 500+ Hidden Homes
Are Just One Form Away...
This challenge exists so you can experience real value first — before deciding whether working together even makes sense.
Note: Your 48-hour, 500+ off-market package is generated using your selected City/Area and minimum bed/bath/sqft only. If you include extra preferences in the "Questions/Comments" section in the form, we’ll review them later when we follow up personally. Ultimately, we can find homes with whatever specifications you want/need.
Still deciding?
Remember — this challenge is 100% free, delivers massive value fast, and comes with a $1,000 guarantee if we can’t perform. There’s no downside for you, and huge potential upside.

48-Hour Off-Market Home Buyer Challenge – Rules & Details
1. How the Challenge Works
The purpose of the 48-Hour Off-Market Home Buyer Challenge is to give you meaningful visibility into off-market home opportunities that align with the intent of what you’re looking for. The challenge is considered fulfilled once you are provided access to qualifying off-market home data showing 500 or more relevant potential home opportunities. This access may be provided on the confirmation (“Thank You”) page immediately after submission, via email, or both.
This challenge is designed to help home buyers and long-term investors identify opportunities; it is not intended to provide pre-negotiated investment deals or guaranteed profit margins for flips.
2. What Counts as a Qualifying Opportunity
A qualifying opportunity is a residential property that is in or near the location you selected and meets or exceeds the minimum criteria you select (bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage) and shows indicators that the homeowner may be open to selling off-market. These properties represent potential opportunities, not guarantees of availability or seller intent.
3. Service Area
Criteria must fall within regions served by The Simone Team. We do assist clients all throughout the Bay Area, but the primary area for this 48hr Challenge is: Santa Clara County and Fremont. We regularly help clients in nearby Bay Area counties, so feel free to ask about your specific needs.
4. About the Data You See After Submitting
Any lists or maps shown on the confirmation (“Thank You”) page are real off-market home data generated for other recent challenge participants. This information is substantially similar in format, scope, and value to the custom list we are generating for you and is provided so you can explore examples immediately while your personalized list is being prepared.
5. The 48-Hour Timing
The timer does not begin upon form submission. It begins only after you are redirected to our confirmation page (immediately upon form submission) and we review and approve your criteria (usually within a few minutes of receipt of your form). Once approved, you will receive a confirmation email stating that your 48-hour clock has officially begun. Most participants receive their report much faster than 48 hours, often within 2–8 hours. But we guarantee delivery within 48 hours.
6. Email Delivery Notice
Your custom list is delivered via email. Because email providers may filter or block messages, you are responsible for checking spam or junk folders and adding us as a safe sender. If you do not receive your email within 12 hours, please contact us so we can ensure successful delivery. Access to qualifying data satisfies the challenge regardless of email visibility…and we are always happy to assist if delivery issues occur if you let us know.
7. Off-Market Definition
“Off-market” refers to properties not actively marketed for sale at the time they are identified. Some (usually very few) properties may later appear on the open market and still qualify as off-market opportunities for the purposes of this challenge.
8. What the Challenge Does Not Guarantee
The challenge does not guarantee that any homeowner will sell, respond, or accept an offer, nor does it guarantee pricing, terms, or transaction outcomes. The list represents an advantageous starting point for identifying and creating off-market opportunities.
9. Eligibility & Fair Use
We reserve the right to review, approve, or decline submissions. Duplicate submissions, inaccurate information, or attempts to abuse the challenge may be disqualified. Only one submission per household is allowed in this challenge. For those who later decide to become buyer clients of ours, we will happily perform multiple such 500+ off-market home searches in an attempt to find you your dream home.
10. City/Area Definitions
Since San Jose is such a large city and has many distinct neighborhoods/areas, our form submission allows you to select specific neighborhoods within San Jose to give you much better results. Some of those neighborhoods share some of the same zip codes and/or are overlapping other areas of San Jose. For our actual buyer clients, we can identify exactly what specific areas, zip codes, neighborhoods, etc. with pinpoint accuracy, and locate these off-market opportunities. For the purposes of this Challenge, we have the right to deliver properties that potentially overlap into other San Jose areas and all such properties will count towards our 500 property deliverable.
11. Our Guarantee
If access to qualifying off-market home data as described above is not provided within 48 hours, we will pay you $1,000. Access provided on the submission confirmation page and/or the custom 500+ list via email satisfies the terms of the challenge, regardless of whether the participant chooses to review the information.
12. Contact & Communication
By participating, you consent to receive emails, phone calls, and text messages related to your 48-Hour Challenge submission, off-market home opportunities, and our real estate services.
Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchasing any services. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the instructions provided in our messages or by contacting us directly.
13. Delivery & Cooperation Requirement
We will deliver your custom list of 500+ off-market home opportunities via email. If you provide a mobile number and opt in to text updates, we may also notify you by text when your list has been sent or provide an alternate delivery method.
Our expectation is that delivery will be completed through these methods without requiring a phone conversation. However, in the event you do not see your list via email or text, you agree to notify us within 18 hours of submission so we can arrange an alternate delivery method and ensure you receive your results.
This challenge requires reasonable cooperation to confirm delivery. Failure to notify us of delivery issues within this time frame will be considered fulfillment of the challenge requirements.
14. Privacy Protection
Full street numbers, owner names, occupancy details, and contact information are not provided. We have all this information. If you are working with us to purchase a home, we will obviously give you the full street address. We will identify which have owners considering selling. Then you and I will visit the properties together to see if you are interested in buying any of them off-market (often at a discount).
15. Limitation of Liability
Maximum liability for this challenge is $1,000.
No additional damages, claims, or obligations apply.
16. No Contract or Agency Relationship
Participation does not create a client relationship.
You are not required to use The Simone Team for buyer representation.
If you do decide you want to work with us to buy or sell a home, a separate buyer-agent agreement will be established at your discretion.
Book a Call / Free Consultation: If you already feel like you'd like to talk with us to learn more about how we might be able to help you with your real estate needs, feel free to reach out. We are here to help, serve, and educate. We are passionate about real estate and delivering for our clients at the highest level possible.
