What is off-market properties and why do you need to know about them?

While most properties are promoted openly and information about them available online or is otherwise advertised, some owners or developers prefer not to advertise their projects and in some cases don't even disclose the fact that they are available for sale (or even that they exist).

Normally that's the case with more high-profile properties, where the owners want a higher degree of control of who they are offered to and want; however private owners can go this route due to privacy considerations. Some of the best, most exceptional properties in the world are sold off-market without general public ever having access to the offer.

Another scenario is when a developer, before launching official sales of a project/property, offers it off-market for a limited time first, normally to existing buyers or friends and family.

We at Sunway Estates have access to a number of off-market listings, so, if you are looking for something special, don't hesitate to let us know.
