https://propertyplanning.com.au/propertyplannerbuyerprofessor/ In this week's ep#68 of the Property Planner, Buyer and Professor Podcast, the team discuss "Off the market properties - everything you need to know", as Dave, Cate and Pete take you through: 1. What are off-markets? In a nutshell, off-market properties are properties that are up for sale without public advertising or marketing. 2. The difference between off-markets and pre-markets Don't get sucked into the real estate agent's 'pre-market' vortex. A genuine 'off market' is not the same as a 'pre-market'. The Property Buyer explains the difference. 3. Why would a vendor choose to sell off-market? The trio discuss the different motivations behind a vendor's decision to sell their property 'off-market'. 4. How do you find off-market opportunities? Anyone can be privy to an off-market opportunity, but if the property is not publicly advertised, how do you know about it? The Property Buyer shares her tips on how to put your best foot forward with real estate agents and get in the know. 5. The importance of rapid decision making Off-market opportunities are often time sensitive and require quick and decisive action on the part of purchasers. If a good off-market opportunity lands in your lap, now is not the time to equivocate! The Property Planner and Buyer explain the methods used to make decisions fast. 6. Are all off-markets good opportunities? A critical mistake is thinking that all off-markets are great opportunities. This is not true. All off-markets are not the holy grail. The Property Buyer shares how to spot the genuine opportunities from the time-wasters. 7. Off-market discounting Many purchasers incorrectly believe that an off-market sale is an opportunity to get a discount on a property. But the reality for most off-market's is that you need to be prepared to pay what the property is worth. 8. And of course, our "gold nuggets"!
