Unlisted, a groundbreaking digital real estate community focused on the 98% of homes that aren’t for sale — yet, today announced that Walter Bering, a real estate professional with Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty, has joined the platform as the exclusive Local Expert for buyers and homeowners in ZIP code 77019. Known for his discretion, sophistication, and unwavering professionalism, Bering has become the trusted choice of buyers and sellers seeking unparalleled insight into Houston’s luxury and historic real estate landscape.
Unlisted’s technology is designed to open up possibilities for everyone in the real estate ecosystem: buyers, homeowners, and agents alike. Buyers gain new ways to discover homes they love beyond what’s listed on the MLS. Homeowners gain tools to better understand interest in their property and connect with potential buyers. Real estate professionals gain a platform that elevates their expertise and brings more possibilities into view for their clients.
Unlisted uses publicly available data to create a digital property profile for every home in the country. Users can quickly search and organize these homes into curated lists that meet a buyer’s criteria. Even when a home isn’t for sale, buyers can join a Waitlist for the properties they love — creating new touchpoints for connection and giving homeowners insights they may not have previously considered.
Each vetted real estate professional partnering with Unlisted receives an agent profile linked to every home in their ZIP code. Only one agent is selected per ZIP, highlighting their credibility and deep understanding of the local market. As Unlisted expands nationwide, the mission remains the same: to provide buyers, homeowners, and agents with a platform built on connection, expertise, and meaningful insights.
Bering’s career is rooted not only in Houston’s luxury market, but in Houston’s history itself. His family’s story dates back to the 1840s, when the Bering brothers, early Texas settlers, made their way from Galveston up the bayou and ultimately established their roots in Houston. Six generations later, Walter has carried that legacy into a 45-year real estate career defined by leadership, excellence, and record-setting success.
A star member of the Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty Circle of Excellence, Bering has been honored as the company’s #1 producer ten times and is firmly established in the firm’s Hall of Fame. The Houston Business Journal consistently recognizes him for his top-tier sales volume and his participation in some of the region’s most significant home transactions. His reputation spans luxury neighborhoods such as River Oaks, Tanglewood, West University, Southampton, and the Memorial Villages, as well as high-profile historic homes requiring specialized expertise. His portfolio also extends beyond city limits, including multimillion-dollar ranch transactions throughout Central Texas.
“Houston is a city defined by its history and its momentum, and Unlisted gives homeowners and buyers a new way to explore both,” said Bering. “I look forward to serving as a resource for the communities I’ve worked in for decades and to bringing even more clarity and opportunity to clients across 77019.”
“Walter has long been a trusted voice in Houston real estate, and his expertise in both luxury and historic homes brings meaningful value to the buyers and homeowners we serve,” said Katie Hill, founder and CEO of Unlisted. “We’re thrilled to welcome him to the platform.”
