Off-market home sales

Before the sign goes in the yard.

Some owners want to speak with a few suitable buyers before listing publicly. Send the address and a few photos. We will tell you whether that is worth trying.

A quiet sale, with your permission.

We can discuss the property with selected buyers without advertising it publicly. There may be no suitable buyer or offer.

A quiet sale limits who sees the home. It is not automatically better than listing publicly.

When it can make sense

Reasons to keep the sale quiet

  • The family is still making decisions.
  • The home is occupied or difficult to show.
  • The owner wants privacy.
  • The house needs work and is not ready for public marketing.

What happens

Four simple steps

  1. 01

    You send the address and a few photographs. We look at the property, the county records, and what has sold nearby.

  2. 02

    We explain the likely tradeoffs between a quiet sale and public marketing.

  3. 03

    If a quiet approach is worth trying, we agree in writing which buyers may be contacted, what may be disclosed, and for how long.

  4. 04

    You review any response and decide whether to continue, list publicly, keep the property, or stop.

Off-market handling is discussed case by case and depends on the property. Poshlando Realty does not represent that a buyer exists for any particular property, does not guarantee a price, offer, or timeline, and does not contact any buyer without the owner's written authorization. Any off-market arrangement is documented in the brokerage agreement.

Want to test an off-market sale?

Tell us about the property and say that you want to consider an off-market sale. Nothing is advertised without your written permission, and nothing is committed.

Need help with the contents too? See Poshlando Estate Sales & Auctions.

Photographs, video, and documents you send are used to evaluate the property and its contents. Do not send anything you are not authorized to share. Nothing is published, listed, or shown to a buyer without your written authorization.
