In short: An off-market sale means your home is offered privately to an agent's registered buyers rather than advertised on portals. It suits sellers who value privacy, prime homes, tenanted properties and people who want to test the market. The trade-off is fewer buyers and less competition, which can mean a lower price. A common middle route is a short off-market "soft launch" before going public. Fraser Bond offers discreet marketing to registered buyers and investors.
