Yes. They’re not restricted specifically to buyers agents. In some cases, off-market properties are shown only to buyers agents, but many will go through an off- or pre-market campaign that buyers can access directly.
The best way to access these without a buyers agent is to get onto as many real estate mailing lists as you can, check their websites, and begin calling and building relationships with agents. We make over a hundred phone calls to agents weekly to keep our momentum up and get a sense of what their pipelines look like.
The aim of the game for a buyer is to get as front-of-mind as possible, so agents call you when something suitable comes up.
A mistake buyers often make is collecting as many off-market properties as possible, without a process for triaging them down to the suitable ones.
Don’t forget: off-market access alone won’t solve your property hunt if there are issues outside of just finding the right thing.
A quick call to help us understand what has been holding you back from making the purchase, and to break down whether we can truly help.
