Unlisted Homes: Connecting Homeowners with Prospective Buyers
Unlisted is a platform that connects homeowners with potential buyers before their homes are officially on the market, similar to Zillow but for off-market properties.
The company, founded by Katie Hill, is launching an iOS app and is a Top 20 Startup Battlefield finalist at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025.
"I've always imagined myself as an old lady with a big hat and big sunglasses, sipping a martini by the pool,"
Hill's idea for Unlisted Homes was inspired by her desire to purchase her neighbor's home, which she deemed perfect for downsizing, complete with a pool.
She approached her neighbor and expressed interest in buying the property if he ever decided to sell, a move that sparked the idea for her startup.
