Investopedia explains 'Pocket Listing'

When a real estate professional is hired to list and sell a property, a listing agreement is in writing. Often real estate agents and brokers agree to cooperate with other agents and brokers and share a portion of the total commission paid by the seller. In a pocket listing, a property will not be listed in a MLS, and therefore there is no agreement to work with other real estate professionals. Reasons for a pocket listing include the seller's desire for privacy or to sell to a certain individual.
