What is an off-market property?

An off-market property (literally "off the market") is a property for sale that isn't visible on the usual portals: SeLoger, LeBonCoin, PAP or agency websites.

These properties move through trusted networks: agents tipping off favoured contacts, notaries handling probate or divorce sales, and concierges flagging owners who are about to move on.

The key advantage: on an off-market property, you are often the only buyer in the conversation. No bidding war, no pressure, and a far calmer negotiation.

Why sell off-market?

Absolute discretion

Public figures, senior executives, divorces in progress: some sellers simply do not want their sale to be known. Off-market is the only route that guarantees this.

Testing the water

The owner is considering selling but has not yet decided. Off-market lets them gauge interest and gauge a realistic price without committing publicly.

Probate and joint ownership

Heirs often sell through the notary, sometimes before the property has been cleared, refurbished or even photographed.

Avoiding time-wasters

On higher-end properties, off-market filters out the "Sunday visitors" who have no real intention to buy.

Frequently asked questions

Are off-market properties cheaper?

Not systematically, but the negotiation is usually easier because there are no rival bidders. With no bidding war, your hunter can negotiate in calmer conditions, which typically translates into a 3 to 6% reduction.

Can I access off-market without a property hunter?

It is very difficult. Off-market relies on relationships built over years between professionals. Agents, notaries and concierges only share these leads with people they know and trust.

What proportion of your sales are off-market?

15% of the properties we find for our clients come from off-market sources. Our network of 15,000 partners, built up since 2011, brings us more than 100 off-market opportunities a day.

How do I know whether an off-market property is right for me?

We pre-view off-market properties just as we would any other: photos, video, technical analysis, co-ownership review. You only travel if the property genuinely matches your brief.
