Sell Privately · Off-Market
Sell Your Home Privately: No Auctions, No Open Homes
Some owners would rather not have strangers through the house, signs out the front and an auction crowd. Others have a block that a developer will pay more for than a family buyer.
An off-market sale can suit both, if it is done properly.
The Advantages of a Private Sale
Our clients choose a private sale for different reasons. Some want to avoid public scrutiny or the disruption of open homes and auctions. Some do not want to fix up and declutter the home. Others are selling through a divorce, illness or financial pressure and value discretion.
- No renovations, repairs or styling needed.
- Lower selling and marketing costs.
- Serious, pre-qualified buyers only.
- Discretion: no sign out the front and no open inspections.
- We research the development feasibility of your land.
- We present your property to private buyers and developers we deal with.
Could a Developer Pay More?
A family buyer pays for the house. A developer pays for what the land can become. If your block is large, well located or zoned for more homes, its developer value can exceed its market value.
We assess what can be built on your land and approach developers looking for sites like yours, so you can compare offers before deciding. See market value versus developer value.
A private sale is not right for every home. With less exposure you can miss the buyer who would pay the most. We will tell you honestly if an agent-run campaign is likely to do better.
Four Simple Steps
- Look. We review your property and its development potential.
- Value. We give you market and developer value estimates.
- Approach. With your approval, we take it to suitable buyers and developers.
- Decide. You compare offers, terms and settlement dates with your conveyancer.
