Summary Introduction
In Sydney’s competitive market, many of the best properties are never listed online. At Grantham Buyers Agents, over 60% of the purchases we secure are off-market—properties sold discreetly without public advertising. Here’s how it works, and why more buyers are choosing privacy over public competition.
What Does “Off-Market” Mean?
An off-market property is sold without any online advertising, open homes, signboards, or auction campaigns. These properties are usually offered quietly to a handful of trusted buyers agents who have proven relationships with local selling agents.
Reasons for off-market sales often include:
- Sensitive life events (separation, deceased estates)
- Financial or business restructures
- Privacy concerns for public figures or professionals
- Sellers wanting a quick, discreet result

Why Off-Market Works for Certain Sellers
Not all vendors want maximum exposure. In fact, many prefer a quick, quiet, qualified sale without the stress of inspections or speculation.
Selling off-market allows:
- Complete privacy
- Control over who inspects the property
- Flexibility in timing and terms
We’re often contacted first when an agent has a listing that must remain confidential.

Why Buyers Are Going Off-Market Too
For our clients, off-market buying offers:
- Less competition from the general public
- Direct access to rare or tightly held properties
- More time to make calm, considered decisions
- Strategic purchases before properties hit the open market
It’s not just about secrecy—it’s about access.

Case Study: Confidential Purchase in the Inner West
One of our recent clients—a high-profile individual relocating from overseas—secured a renovated terrace in Sydney’s Inner West without a single inspection by the general public. We handled all inspections privately, with an NDA in place, and negotiated terms that worked for both parties.
Result: a high-quality, stress-free purchase completed below the radar and ahead of market release.
