Off-Market Transactions: The Art of Confidential Deal Making

For principals seeking discretion, off-market transactions offer control, privacy, and often better outcomes than traditional marketed processes.

Not every seller wants their asset on the market. Not every buyer wants to compete in a broad auction. Off-market transactions serve principals who prioritize control and confidentiality over maximum exposure.

Why Sellers Choose Off-Market

  • Tenant and employee confidentiality
  • Avoiding perception of distress
  • Testing pricing without market commitment
  • Control over buyer selection and timeline

Why Buyers Prefer Off-Market

  • Reduced competition and auction fatigue
  • More time for due diligence
  • Direct access to motivated sellers
  • Potential for negotiated terms vs. rigid bid processes

How We Facilitate Off-Market Deals

Our approach relies on long-standing relationships and deep market knowledge. We can identify motivated counterparties without marketing materials or public disclosure, moving from introduction to LOI with discretion at every step.
