Sell Discreetly Without Public Listings

A public listing makes your intention to sell visible to everyone – neighbours, tenants, business partners and competitors. If a property stays online too long, it is also quickly perceived as hard to sell, which weakens your negotiating position.

With an off-market sale via OFFMARKET24, your property is instead presented only to selected, verified investors – discreetly and without leaving public traces.

Only verified investors whose registered purchase profile matches your property – in terms of property type, region and purchase price, for example. There is no public presentation on portals.

In addition, the initial approach is anonymized: the address and owner details are only disclosed once an investor has confirmed serious interest.

Not during the marketing phase. Since your property is neither listed nor publicly advertised, the sales process remains invisible to tenants. The anonymized initial approach mentions neither the address nor the owner.

Viewings only take place with seriously interested, verified buyers and can be arranged discreetly – so the tenancy remains unaffected throughout the entire process.

Yes, that is one of the main reasons for going off-market. Publicly listed properties that stay on the market for a long time or have their price reduced several times lose negotiating power – the market remembers.

With discreet marketing, no public price history is created. You negotiate from a neutral position with investors who are actively looking for exactly your type of property.

In a personal conversation – by phone or online – you discuss your goals, your preferred timeframe and the key facts about your property with our cooperation partner HausHirsch GmbH: property type, location, tenancy situation and price expectation.

On that basis it is assessed which investors from the database come into question, and the next steps are explained to you. The conversation is free of charge and without obligation.

Investors are manually vetted when they are added to our database and register a specific acquisition profile: property type, region and order of magnitude. That way we know who is looking for what.

Your property is only presented to those whose profile matches – which largely eliminates viewing tourism and unqualified enquiries. We do not carry out credit checks on individual prospective buyers; verifying the ability to pay in a specific case remains part of the negotiation.

After the matching, suitable investors are approached with an anonymized short exposé: it contains the relevant key facts, but neither the address nor your name nor photos that would allow identification.

Only once an investor confirms concrete interest – if desired, after signing a non-disclosure agreement – does he receive the complete documentation.

That cannot be promised in general terms; it depends on the property, the location and market conditions. What speaks for the off-market route: the investors approached are actively looking for exactly your type of property and know market prices, and several matching prospects can also compete discreetly.

At the same time you avoid the price pressure that arises when a property sits publicly on the market or has to be reduced in price repeatedly.

That depends on the property type, location and asking price. However, since your property is presented directly to the investors who are actively looking for it, the public marketing phase, which often takes months, is eliminated.

You usually receive the first responses from matching investors within a few days – and we then guide you in a structured way from the initial consultation to the notary appointment.

The initial conversation and the assessment of which investors are a match for your property are free of charge and without obligation. As an owner you pay nothing to OFFMARKET24.

For the actual marketing you enter into a brokerage agreement with our cooperation partner HausHirsch GmbH. You receive their terms in writing before the contract is concluded. If you sell a residential property as a private individual, the statutory sharing of the commission between seller and buyer under Section 656d of the German Civil Code applies. Your enquiry places you under no obligation.

The focus is on investment properties: apartment buildings, mixed residential and commercial buildings, commercial properties, plots and entire portfolios. The investors in our database have registered purchase profiles across a wide range of asset classes, regions and sizes.

We are happy to clarify in advance, in a free consultation, whether there are matching buyers for your specific property.

The usual property documents are helpful: land register extract, floor plans, area schedule, tenant list with rental income, service charge overview and energy certificate.

However, you do not need to have everything complete at the start – the key facts are sufficient for the initial consultation. We will discuss together which documents the investors expect as the process moves forward.

Yes. Our cooperation partner HausHirsch GmbH supports you throughout the entire process: from selecting investors and the discreet approach to coordinating prospects, negotiations and the notary appointment.

The decision on whom you sell to and at what price always rests exclusively with you.

Yes. Since your property is not publicly listed, stopping causes no damage either: no visible price history, no burned listing on the market.

At every step, you decide yourself whether and with which investors you want to proceed – from the initial consultation to the negotiation, the process remains entirely in your hands.

No. OFFMARKET24 is also used by brokers as a sales channel; your broker can likewise offer your property discreetly via the platform.

If you want to sell without a broker, contact us directly. You should check any existing contractual commitments in advance – such as an exclusive listing agreement; we are happy to advise you on this in the initial consultation as well.
