The Off-Market Process

Selling Off-Market: How It Works

Selling privately off-market is built for homeowners who want a simpler, more convenient sale — without public listings, open houses, or showings with strangers walking through the home.

01

Private Conversation

We start with a private conversation to understand your goals, timeline, and what matters most to you in the sale.

Common Questions
Is this kept private?
Yes. Off-market conversations are confidential. Your home will not be listed on the MLS or shared publicly unless you decide to move in that direction.
What if I'm not sure I want to sell yet?
That's okay. The first conversation is no-pressure and helps you understand your options before deciding anything.
02

Property Walk-Through

I'll walk through the home with you to review the condition, any updates, and gather the details needed to determine a fair off-market offer.

Common Questions
Do I need to clean or prepare the home?
No. Off-market sales are designed to be convenient. The home does not need to be staged, cleaned, or prepared like a traditional listing.
How long does the walk-through take?
Usually less than an hour. We'll review the property at a pace that works for you.
03

Offer & Title Process

Once we've reviewed the home, we'll present an off-market offer. If accepted, the transaction moves to the title company to begin closing preparation.

Common Questions
How is the offer determined?
Off-market offers consider the home's condition, market data, repair costs, holding costs, and convenience benefits to you as the seller.
How do I get paid at closing?
Sellers are typically paid by wire transfer or certified check from the title company once closing is completed and funds are confirmed.
Do I need to attend closing?
In most cases, sellers sign final documents directly with the title company or notary before closing is completed.
What gets deducted from the sale proceeds?
Any mortgages, unpaid taxes, liens, title fees, prorated taxes, or agreed closing-related costs are typically deducted from the proceeds at closing.
Should I stop paying utilities or mortgage payments?
No. Continue making normal payments and keeping utilities active until the transaction officially closes unless instructed otherwise.
04

Closing

Closing is when documents are signed, funds are transferred, and ownership officially transfers to the buyer. Off-market closings are typically faster and more flexible than traditional sales.

Common Questions
How long until we can close?
Timelines vary based on title work and the agreement, but off-market closings are often quicker than traditional sales.
When do I hand over keys or possession?
Possession timing is based on the agreement and closing terms. We'll review those details before closing.
Can the process still fall apart before closing?
Yes. Until documents are signed and closing is completed, there is always a possibility a buyer may cancel or financing/issues could affect the transaction.
Is the property sold as-is?
In many off-market situations, buyers may purchase the property in its current condition, but terms can vary depending on the agreement.
