Off Market

Real Estate is all about networking. At Jacobs & Lowe - Bennetts, every year an increasing number of Sales finalized by our company are not achieved in the usual Auction or Private Sale Process.

Instead, these transactions have occurred in an ‘Off Market Deal’ where the property is not advertised and marketed in the usual manner. Traditionally, this method of sale has appealed to high profile Vendors and Purchasers who wish to avoid the public scrutiny regular property transactions receive. Recent years have seen an increase in this method of sale across all price ranges and locations.

Avoiding the usual sale process may seem attractive to many Vendors and Purchasers, however there are pitfalls.
It is imperative to engage an agent who can provide a tried and tested network for you to be able to tap into. For Vendors, this means a database of qualified purchasers who have registered an interest in securing a property with the qualities your property features.

Whilst for Purchasers, an experienced agent makes it their business to be aware of what is happening in their market place and in many cases is able to secure your dream home prior to the property officially being placed on the market.
