Why do people sell off-market?

 
 

Preserve Privacy

Enjoy a discreet sale without the spotlight, safeguarding personal space from prying eyes.

Debt Relief

If financial pressures are mounting, an off-market sale can provide debt relief quickly.

Prioritise Life Transitions

During significant life changes, off-market selling allows people to move forward without delays.

 

Convenience

The sellers can continue to live in the property, don’t need to present it immaculately for sale and don’t always need to have open homes.

Cost

Selling off-market doesn’t involve any investment on the seller’s part for marketing, and sometimes the agent will reduce their fee seeing as the sale is quicker and more simple.

Unique Needs

There are many scenarios where getting the most money possible out of a sale isn’t the key priority, sometimes a quick transition is more valuable than a few thousand dollars.

 

FAQ

Everything we do follows strict process. This eliminates the guesswork and allows our team to help you find the right property for you. Below you’ll find some of our most commonly asked questions.

 
  • When working with a Buyers Agent, it’s critical that you see more properties than everyone else in order to get the ‘edge’ you’re looking for. That’s where our off-market approach comes in.

    We leverage the relationships we’ve built with Real Estate Agents to identify and assess properties not available on real estate websites. We send over 400 emails and make a similar number of phone calls every month to find these properties earlier and more often than the average buyer.

    The result: More properties in a shorter period of time, means a better result faster.

  • As long as it takes for you to feel comfortable to buy. We’ve had clients purchase a property in as little as 1-2 weeks and others that have taken 5 months. Our goal is to secure the right property, not the first property, and we’ll continue working with you until that goal is achieved.

  • Our boots-on-the-ground approach means that we’ll be there in your place. Our detailed inspection videos typically run for between 7-15 minutes and shed light on the good, the bad and the ugly of every property we inspect. This is your way of getting past the glossy marketing photos and into the cobwebs, so that you can feel comfortable to make an offer, sometimes without having stepped foot in the property yourself.

  • Absolutely! We often perform mid-week inspections on your behalf, providing a video inspection report for your review that night. If you like what you see, we’ll arrange a second inspection at a time that suits you.

    The best part? You only spend time viewing properties that have already been pre-vetted.

  • Ahh, the trade secret!

    Our Due Diligence Checklist includes more than just a review of Building & Pest Reports. You’ll also find flood & fire risk assessments, proximity to public housing checks, development potential, investment feasibility reports, local amenities & school zones review, and of course a Comparative Market Analysis report.

  • A Comparative Market Analysis is an analysis tool used by Real Estate Agents & Valuers to determine Fair Market Value of a property. The process involves comparing the property in question to recently sold properties of a similar nature in a localised vicinity. This is where the art-form meets science, as unique factors of a property such as the orientation, slope, internal configuration and quality of finishes all play a part in delivering an accurate estimate.

    Our approach relies heavily on data and evidence, rather than opinion, to determine the fair market value of a property, and we do this well in advance of implementing a negotiation strategy on behalf of a client.

  • Three simple factors; experience, frameworks and relationships.

    Experience: Where most property purchasers negotiate on 2-4 properties in their lifetime, our team could be negotiating on 2-4 properties a week. Every conversation is in essence part of the negotiation so it's critical to know what to say and when to say it.

    Frameworks: While every negotiation is different, the principles remain the same, which is why we follow a detailed framework to exhaust all possible options to reduce the purchase price before making our initial offers.

    Relationships: Without a relationship, it's unlikely you’ll uncover the information you need to implement an effective negotiation strategy. Having developed robust relationships with agents across our areas of focus, you can be assured that if there's valuable information to be shared, we will acquire it.

  • A standard contract settlement term in NSW is 42 days or 6 weeks. Like almost everything when it comes to buying property, the settlement term is negotiable. We’ve negotiated settlement terms as little as two days (yes two days) and as long as 6 months on behalf of our clients. Sometimes we leverage information we’ve uncovered about the seller to offer appealing settlement terms in order to reduce the purchase price.

  • When we agree to work together, the first step is completing our Align To Buy meeting. From that day forth, the average time it takes to find a property is between 6-8 weeks, although we’ve had clients purchase in as little as 1 week and take as many as 20 weeks to find and secure the right property.

    Once we exchange contracts, we also have to consider the settlement term agreed. Therefore if we found a property in 6 weeks and negotiated a 4 week settlement, you could expect to be moving in 10 weeks from now.

  • Up until the contracts exchange, the property is still available for sale, so it's critical that no time is wasted. The final component of the journey involves signing the contract of sale and handing over your deposit.

    This can be the most stressful part of purchasing property so it's helpful to have experienced professionals working as a team to deliver the right result. We’re on hand throughout the process, acting as the glue between your legal representative (usually a conveyancer or solicitor), mortgage broker, building & pest inspector and other professionals involved in the transaction.

  • Our goal is to find and secure the optimal property for your needs, and that could be listed by any one of the hundreds of agents operating in the areas we service. That means that our industry relationships must extend across agents and agencies without bias. When working with us, you will see every property that meets your brief, irrespective of the agent or agency selling it.

  • If your buyers agent was personally incentivised to recommend one property over another, it’s hard to believe that purchasing that property will be in your best interests. That’s why we’re not affiliated with any Real Estate Sales Agency, and never will be. We’re proud of the fact that we’re 100% independent, because this allows us to deliver optimal results for our clients.

How can a local buyers agent help you?

A buyer's agent, also known as a buyer's advocate or property consultant, is a professional who assists property buyers and investors throughout the property purchasing process. In the context of Newcastle, Australia, a buyer's agent can provide several valuable services to help buyers and investors make informed decisions when buying property in the area. Here's how a buyer's agent can assist:


Market Knowledge

A buyer's agent has a deep understanding of the local property market in Newcastle. They are familiar with property trends, pricing, neighborhoods, and upcoming developments. This knowledge helps buyers identify suitable properties and make informed decisions based on their specific requirements.

Property Evaluation and Due Diligence

Once potential properties are identified, a property buyer's agent can conduct thorough evaluations and due diligence on each property. They can assess the property's value, condition, potential for capital growth, rental yield, and any potential issues or risks associated with the purchase. This helps buyers make informed decisions and negotiate effectively.

Contract Assistance

Contracts can be complex and filled with legal jargon. A buyer's agent can help buyers understand the terms and conditions of the contract, ensuring they are fully aware of their rights and obligations before signing. They can also recommend legal professionals if required.

Property Search and Shortlisting

Instead of spending significant time and effort searching for properties themselves, buyers can rely on a buyer's agent to identify suitable options. Based on the buyer's criteria, budget, and preferences, the agent can compile a shortlist of properties that match their requirements.

Negotiation and Bidding

Buyer's agents are skilled negotiators who can act on behalf of buyers during price negotiations. They have experience in property transactions and can use their expertise to secure the best possible price and favourable terms for their clients. In addition, buyer's agents can participate in auctions or bid on behalf of the buyer, ensuring they have professional representation during the process.

Ongoing Support

Even after the purchase, a buyer's agent can provide ongoing support and advice. They can assist with property management, renovations, or any future property purchases or sales

Access to Off-Market Listings

Buyer's agents often have access to off-market properties, which are not publicly advertised. These exclusive listings can provide buyers with opportunities to purchase desirable properties before they become widely available, giving them a competitive edge in the market.

Property Inspections and Coordination

A buyer's agent can arrange property inspections, saving buyers time and effort. They can coordinate inspections with relevant parties, such as building inspectors or property valuers, to ensure a thorough evaluation of the property's condition.

Overall, a buyer's agent can offer valuable expertise, market knowledge, and personalised assistance to property buyers and investors in Newcastle. By leveraging their services, buyers can streamline the purchasing process, mitigate risks, and make well-informed decisions to achieve their property goals.
