Buying off market: straight answers

Is buying off market a good idea?

It can be, if you already know what you want. Buying off market means you deal with a seller before the property is advertised, so usually fewer buyers compete and you negotiate directly. The trade-off is less choice and no public price comparison, so you need your own valuation and legal checks.

It tends to suit you if

you can name the suburbs, property type and budget you want;
you have finance arranged and can move when a match appears;
you would rather negotiate one to one than bid against a crowd.

It is harder if

you want to browse lots of options before deciding;
you rely on a public campaign to show you what others will pay;
you are not yet sure which suburb you want.

How do I find off-market properties for sale near me on the southern Gold Coast or Tweed?

Off-market homes are not advertised on realestate.com.au or Domain, so a "near me" search will not show them. You find them through people: local agents' buyer lists, a buyer's agent, or a register like ours. Register a brief with your suburbs, budget and timing, and we contact you if an owner in the database fits it.

Pick your suburbs. We cover the coast from Broadbeach to Cabarita, for example Palm Beach, Bilinga, Coolangatta, Kingscliff and Cabarita Beach.
Write down your budget, property type, must-haves and timing. A specific brief is what an owner or agent can act on.
Register that brief once, here, rather than calling every agent in every suburb. If an owner in the database fits it, we introduce you.

The longer guide, including how to approach owners yourself, is on how to find off-market properties.

Do the cooling-off rules still apply when I buy off market?

Yes. Whether or not the home was advertised, a residential sale by private contract in Queensland or NSW normally gives the buyer a 5 business day cooling-off period. Pulling out inside it costs up to 0.25% of the price in Queensland and 0.25% in NSW. Auction sales have no cooling-off period in either state.

Queensland (Gold Coast)

5 business days, starting the day you receive a copy of the contract signed by both parties, ending at 5pm on the fifth business day.
If you pull out, the seller may keep up to 0.25% of the price from your deposit and must refund the rest within 14 days.
No cooling-off for auctions, some sales straight after a failed auction, or option contracts.
You can waive or shorten it, but only in writing.

NSW (Tweed Coast)

5 business days, starting when contracts are exchanged.
If you withdraw, you owe the seller 0.25% of the purchase price.
No cooling-off when you buy at auction, or when contracts are exchanged on auction day after the property is passed in.
You can waive it by giving the seller a section 66W certificate from your lawyer or conveyancer.

Sources: Queensland Government, "Cooling-off period for residential property contracts" (updated 12 May 2022); NSW Government, "Contracts and deposits when buying property in NSW". Both checked 23 Oct 2026. This is general information, not legal advice: have a solicitor or conveyancer review any contract before you sign.

Will I pay less if I buy off market?

Not necessarily. We are not aware of any public data that reliably compares off-market sale prices with advertised ones, so treat any promised discount with caution. What you do get is a negotiation without a crowd of competing bidders. Check the price yourself with an independent valuation or recent comparable sales before you sign.

Use the cooling-off period, or a finance and building-and-pest condition in the contract, to get those checks done before you are committed.

A more deliberate search

A clear brief produces better introductions.

Define the brief

Tell us what matters: location, property type, budget, timing and the trade-offs you are willing to make.

Assess private opportunities

We consider the buyer brief against relevant properties in the database before deciding whether an introduction is appropriate.

Procure with purpose

When the fit is right, move through due diligence and negotiation with a clear process rather than the noise of a broad public campaign.

Why private property

Less noise. More relevant conversations.

Opportunities that are not on public portals

Some owners prefer to explore a sale quietly before committing to a public campaign.

A search shaped around your actual brief

Start with the requirements that matter most rather than spending time on listings that are not a fit.

Discreet introductions

A private process gives both sides room to assess a potential transaction before it becomes widely known.

Success-aligned fee

The 2% procurement fee is payable only if you successfully procure an off-market property through the service.

Buyer questions

The important details, upfront.

What does the buyer service cost?

Buyers pay a 2% procurement fee only when they successfully procure an off-market property through Off Market Properties. Engagement terms are confirmed before the search begins.

Can I still buy through a public campaign?

This service is for private property procurement. We begin with your specific buying brief and focus on appropriate off-market opportunities rather than a public listing search.
