What is an Off-Market Property?
An off-market property is one that can be purchased but isn’t being publicly advertised.
Typically, a broker or investor connects with an owner who’s open to selling. The broker then presents the property to their network of buyers to see if they can generate an offer.
There are several reasons why an owner may choose to sell off market. Two common ones are:
-
Privacy – Some owners prefer to sell quietly so that employees, customers, or competitors don’t know the property is available.
-
Testing the Market – Others want to gauge buyer interest without committing to a formal listing.
The key with off-market deals is discernment. Some owners are motivated and ready to transact, while others may only sell if they receive an above-market offer. That’s why these opportunities can be both exciting and challenging.
If you have questions about off-market properties or anything related to commercial real estate, I’d be glad to connect.
