Large family homes with pools, multiple living areas, and waterfront access often sell off-market to maintain privacy and ensure suitable buyers for family-oriented neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What defines an off-market listing?
Off-market properties are sold without public advertising or open inspections. They're typically marketed through private networks, direct approaches, or exclusive buyer databases.
Will sellers accept a lower price off-market?
Often yes. Sellers choose off-market sales for privacy, speed, or convenience, and may accept 5-15% below market value to avoid the hassle of public marketing.
How do I verify price without public comps?
We provide detailed market analysis using recent sales data, property characteristics, and local market trends. Our valuations are based on comprehensive data, not just public listings.
Is stamp duty different on private treaties?
No. Stamp duty is calculated the same way regardless of how the property is marketed. Queensland stamp duty rates apply to all residential purchases.
How quickly can we settle?
Off-market transactions typically settle 30% faster than traditional sales. Most Burleigh Waters off-market deals settle within 25-30 days.
