Are you looking for a way to buy a property not listed for sale? Maybe it's a house in a beautiful neighborhood you recently drove through. The one with a reputable education system, healthcare facilities, and close to your favorite employer... Wait, are you moving to Chapel Hill, NC? 👀
You may be wondering how to purchase an off-market property.
Off-market properties are not advertised to the public but are sold privately by owners or real estate agents.
Wait, real estate agents? Yes.
Sometimes listings get pulled off the market, and sellers opt to keep them private so they don't get spammed *cough, cough*. More on that later.
What are some advantages of purchasing an off-market property?

So where do we find these unicorn properties?
Hmmm... Guess you'll have to call me to find out. "Bwahaha."
"Alright, alright, alright," suppose you're trying to bypass a real estate agent #TearyPuppyDogEyes #Sniffle. You can still use some search tools like our property search website. Look for:
Some additional online research may reveal websites specifically dedicated to the above.
Do your homework. I know, everybody's favorite.
"R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Show you what it means to me."
Lastly and possibly firstly, find a good agent.
If you still prefer to go Han Solo, do yourself a favor and at least consult a real estate attorney who can help you draft the appropriate paperwork.
A good REALTOR® can save you more than enough time, money, and headaches to justify their weight in gold.
