Off Market Properties

Off Market Properties

One of the best ways to purchase a home without the competition.

When purchasing a property through our buyer advocacy service, one of our main priorities is sourcing off market properties for you to purchase privately. Over 47% of our properties we purchase for our clients are via off market opportunities.

These properties are a great method of purchasing, where the seller chooses not to publicly advertise through mainstream open channels and instead trusts their agent to find buyers privately for them. Utilising our vast network of trusted local agents gives us access to all of these types of properties for us to shortlist with the possibility of you purchasing.

Our off market properties process

Sourcing off market properties can be a complex process. Knowing the right agents and having the right network connections in place ensures we maximise every opportunity to be able to present to you, our client as many properties as possible that fit your selection criteria.

01
Email blast
Once we have the property specifics, we compile a database list of all the target agents and advocates we need to target. We then send a detailed email out to the agent and vendor advocate database including specifics and price range. This will also include past clients, developers and other suppliers that may assist.
02
Follow up calls
After every contact has been sent an email, we then follow up with a call to discuss any opportunities they currently may have and any future potentials.
03
Direct Marketing
In some cases our clients require a specific type of house or street location, so direct marketing may be required. This consists of letterbox dropping a house specific brochure or door knocking certain homes to see if there is any interest to sell privately.
04
Inspect and short list
We compile a list of all the off market properties and then arrange a private viewing to see if the property suits our clients brief. A short list is then prepared for the client to view.
05
Customer reporting and inspections
Send the property report and our recommendations to the client for review. Once they have chosen the properties they wish to view, we arrange private inspections with the client and ourselves to view each property.

I was blown away!

We recently used Bayside Real Estate for our 1st House purchase & I was blown away with their knowledge & experience of the real estate market. After endlessly looking for nearly 2 years, Clint found us our dream home in a little over a month, & when they took us to Auction with their cunningly devised strategy mixed with Nicole’s killer instincts and negotiating skills we walked away with a fantastic property to call home. Would highly recommend Clint & Nicole as buyers advocate and the value the bring to the table.

Breath of fresh air

As soon as I met Nicole she was a breath of fresh air. She took all the worry away instantly. I was so happy to let Nicole guide me through the process. She was professional and kind and full of valuable advise. I couldn’t have done it without Nicole at bayside advocates.

Sincere, empathetic and patient

Nicole Payne of Bayside Real Estate Advocates organised the clearing, preparation and sale of my elderly mother’s Bayside house, a family home full of the clutter of many decades. I was repeatedly impressed by Nicole’s professionalism, by her efficiency, and by her ability to find a solution to apparently insoluble problems. She is also kind, sincere, empathetic and patient. She went far beyond the call of duty in supporting my mother during a very difficult transition. And despite unpromising market conditions, Nicole secured a price that exceeded our expectations. I have no reservations in giving her my highest recommendation. She deserves 10 stars, not just 5.

Amazing help working with the agent

As a full time single parent, I am very time poor, selling my house was a daunting prospect. Nicole was an amazing help working through all the stages of getting the house ready for sale, negotiating with the real estate agents and managing the campaign. Nicole’s assistance took a lot of the stress out of what is one of life’s significant stressful events.

Easy and stress free

We had such a great experience working with Nicole! As first-time homebuyers, we were pretty nervous, but she made everything feel so easy and stress-free. She was always there to answer our questions and guide us through each step. We couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and kind agent. We highly recommend!

Amazing insight, support and tenacity

Real estate can be a bit of a daunting world, especially when you’re navigating it alone! After spending months looking for my perfect home and feeling very overwhelmed with the pace and pressure of the market, how lucky was I to be introduced to the beautiful Nicole! Nicole took the time to understand me and what was important to me in a home and got to work. Only a few short weeks later we were putting the sold sign on my dream home 🤩 I’m still pinching myself over it and couldn’t be more grateful to Nicole for her insight, support and tenacity in getting a great deal over the line. I can’t recommend Nicole & her team highly enough!!

Warm, friendly and professional

We are so grateful to Bayside Real Estate Advocates for helping us find our first home. Clint and Nicole’s warm, friendly and professional approach turned what was a proving to be a challenging experience into such a smooth process. After searching on and off for nearly two years, we have now purchased a home we are thrilled with, less than six weeks after meeting Clint. Clint’s expert guidance through searching, preparation and communicating with agents was invaluable. Thanks to Nicole’s sharp bidding and negotiation skills, we were able to secure the property without overbidding — something we likely would have done without them. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you Clint & Nicole!

Invaluable professional services everythime

Are you thinking of buying or selling your property? Have you thought About hiring and using the professional services of an Advocate?

Most of us go directly to a real estate agent, don’t we, but did you know, an advocate relieves the stress and takes the work out of dealing directly with an agent? They are also adept at selling property ‘off market’ as in my case, via their network of advocates.

I resonated with Nicole immediately and her obvious love of real estate. She was an absolute delight to work with. She arranged everything! from interviewing the three agents, gaining their quotes, as well as two quotes from property stagers and then helped to make the ‘right’ selection.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with how advocates are paid: If she sells directly to a buyer, you will pay a lower commission to an advocate than an estate agent, but if the agent sells your property, it is the agent who pays her commission. You can’t lose!!!

I would use Nicole’s invaluable professional services every time. Thanks Nicole… I have no hesitation in recommending you for any real estate buying or selling project. 5 Stars to Nicole.

Professional and calm

Using Bayside Real Estate Advocates was an efficient way to purchase, Nicole was professional and calm. She has a vast understanding of all things real estate and property related, from building and design to contract due diligence, protecting us from potential unforeseen circumstances.

Her tradespeople and contacts were also efficient and very quick. She is a great negotiator and asked the agents the right questions. I felt as though the agents I spoke to were not always honest and open about the process and for that reason I was looking for far too long and getting disappointed. As soon as we met Nicole, we knew we were going about it all wrong, she explained the process and just made it happen.

Nicole saved us money and saved us time, I would always recommend Nicole to anyone buying and selling, it makes sense to get the best representation from the experts, especially on such a big investment. Thanks, Nicole we are excited about the future, many thanks.

Organized and knowledgeable

Nicole was really easy to deal with, particularly the selection of a real estate agent, it was a fantastically easy process. We thought it was going to be daunting but Nicole helped us through and made it extremely easy.

Nicole’s follow up and all her dealing with the agent meant we only dealt with Nicole who organized everything for us, her knowledge and skills along with knowledge of the area was second to none.

We achieved a great result above our expectations, I would recommend Bayside Real estate Advocates to anyone. The best experience we had through all the houses we have sold. Nicole was warm and friendly but tough when she needed to be, I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Amazing and wonderful

My daughter recommended I use Nicole to help me sell my home. I could not have been happier, she was amazing, finding the correct agent, sourcing a handyman, and liaising with stylers and the agent throughout. She negotiated a great selling price and I sold in 6 days.!! What a wonderful lady she is. And just recently, I have used her services to purchase my next property! I would have no hesitation in recommending Nicole, she made the experience so easy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages with buying off market properties?

There are great advantages to purchasing and off market property. You can inspect these properties and even make an offer before other buyers get to view the property. You don’t have to negotiate and compete with other buyers or attend auctions. You have access to a winder market and not just listed properties. You can save thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars as you are not competing with other interested buyers that would normally drive the price up. 47% of our properties we buy for buyers are off market…It works!

There are a few reasons why a vendor would choose to sell off market. They may want to test the market first to see if they can achieve a price they are after. The owner may require privacy or be experiencing financial hardship. They may be after a quick sale and also don’t want to pay thousands in marketing fees or they might just sell if the right price was offered.

The savings can be in the range of hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the property. This is due to the fact that when you purchase a property you are not directly competing with other buyers who would usually drive the price higher (most auctions sell way above the marketing range due to buyer competition). Also as vendors are saving on marketing and other related advertising costs, they can accept a lower offer.
