# Circles

> Private groups for sharing pocket (off-market) listings with brokers you trust.

**Circles** are private groups of brokers. They let you share **pocket** listings — off-market properties visible only to people inside the circle — instead of publishing to the whole network.

## Create a circle

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Circles → New circle">
    Give it a name and a colour so it's easy to recognise.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add members">
    Search for brokers and add them, or send invites to brokers who aren't on the platform yet.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Use a circle

When you [launch a property](/properties) as **pocket**, you choose which circle(s) can see it. Only members of those circles will match against it or find it — everyone else sees nothing.

<Note>
  Anything launched as **public** is visible to the whole network and doesn't need a circle. Circles are only for pocket/off-market sharing.
</Note>

## Join a circle

If another broker invites you, you'll get a join link or an invite in your [notifications](/notifications). Accept to become a member and start seeing that circle's pocket listings.
