Hello, this is Shuo.
So what is an off-market sale? Off-market sale is a term used to define property that is selling without any public advertising, transactioning, or not on the market. Buyers source off-market deals often through relationships or direct-mail campaigns. Benefits of it will be less-competing offers, maybe more flexible closing dates, smaller deposits, longer escrow, etc.
However, off-market deals often are mom and pop shops so it’s smaller units, 60-below usually, some more sophisticated property sellers would much rather go through the normal leasing process unless they received a really high rate. So in this case, a party buying an off-market deal does not necessarily mean they’re getting a good deal.
