Boston real estate team launches own private listing platform

On Wednesday, The Sarkis Team, led by George and Manny Sarkis and brokered at Douglas Elliman, launched its very own private exclusive listing platform. According to the announcement, the platform, which is currently hosted on the team’s website SarkisBoston.com, debuted with 15 exclusive listings, representing more than $200 million in private listings. Through the website, invited consumers can access SARKIS SOON, an invite-only marketplace, which shows exclusive listings across on-market, pre-market and fully private opportunities.

In 2024, The Sarkis Team, which consisted then of 16 active licensed agents, closed 209.8 transaction sides for a total sales volume of $312.68 million, according to RealTrends Verified Data. This performance earned the team the No. 1 rank in the state for sales volume among large teams in the 2025 RealTrends Verified Rankings. 

According to the team, Boston is known for its unusually high volume of off-market deals and “quiet-channel inventory.” By launching this marketplace, George and Manny Sarkis say they hope to formalize this behind the scenes process and turn it into a more secure and team-controlled ecosystem.

“Boston has always been a market built on relationships, discretion and trust,” George and Manny Sarkis said in a joint statement. “With the launch of SarkisBoston.com and our private-exclusive platform SARKIS SOON, we’re honoring that legacy while introducing a more modern, streamlined and secure way for clients to explore opportunities that rarely make it to the public market. We’re building an ecosystem that meets clients where the market is headed, redefining how top teams can deliver value in one of the country’s most competitive and private luxury markets.”

The Sarkis team is claiming that this is the first private exclusive listing platform operated by a team, independent of the brokerage system, calling this a “significant evolution” of the model. They feel this platform will create a “direct-to-team pipeline for high-net-worth buyers who prioritize confidentiality, early access and a highly curated luxury experience.”

The team is currently planning to debut a mobile app for their private listing platform. The website features high-quality photos, an interactive listing experience and early access opportunities for qualified buyers.
