An off-market property is sold privately without public advertising, offering buyers less competition and potentially a better price.
To find these opportunities, network with local real estate agents and get on their databases. Other strategies include:
- Getting finance pre-approved to move quickly
- Directly approaching homeowners in your desired area
- Using a buyer's agent
While the process can be less stressful, it's crucial to do your homework on value and get legal advice before making an offer.
