offmarketproperties.coAbout Offmarketproperties
Off Market Properties (offmarketproperties.co) is a specialist off-market real estate service operating across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW, including suburbs from Coolangatta and Broadbeach in the south to Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Cabarita Beach, and Murwillumbah in Northern NSW, and northward through Hope Island, Southport, and Coomera. The business facilitates private property transactions — homes sold without public listings on portals such as realestate.com.au or Domain — giving buyers exclusive first access to properties and giving sellers complete privacy throughout the process.
For sellers, Off Market Properties charges no upfront fees and applies a 2% commission on sale only, compared to a traditional agent rate of approximately 2.5% plus marketing costs typically ranging from $15,000 to $50,000. On a $1,000,000 sale, this structure can save sellers between $20,000 and $55,000. For buyers, the service charges a $2,000 upfront fee plus 2% at settlement, providing professional representation, property inspections, contract negotiation, and settlement management.
The platform maintains a network of over 100 sellers who prefer not to list publicly and more than 1,800 registered buyers across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW regions, covering 50-plus suburbs. Off Market Properties also serves international buyers, Australian expats, APAC investors (including those from China, Singapore, and Hong Kong), and FIFO mine workers, offering virtual inspections, FIRB approval guidance, non-resident financing support, and remote settlement assistance.
Frequently asked questions
What does Off Market Properties do?
Off Market Properties facilitates the private sale and purchase of residential real estate across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW without public listings on portals like realestate.com.au or Domain. Buyers gain exclusive first access to properties before they go public, while sellers can transact with complete privacy. The business handles everything from buyer matching and property inspections through to contract negotiation and settlement.
What areas does Off Market Properties serve?
Off Market Properties covers 50-plus suburbs across two regions. In the Gold Coast, coverage spans the Southern Gold Coast (Coolangatta, Currumbin, Burleigh Waters, Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Robina, Varsity Lakes), the Northern Gold Coast (Southport, Surfers Paradise, Hope Island, Coomera, Helensvale, Pimpama), and suburbs in between. In Northern NSW, the service covers Tweed Heads, Kingscliff, Cabarita Beach, Pottsville, Murwillumbah, Banora Point, Casuarina, Fingal Head, and surrounding towns.
How much does Off Market Properties charge sellers?
Sellers pay nothing upfront to list. Off Market Properties charges a 2% commission only upon a successful sale, with no marketing costs. By comparison, a traditional agent typically charges 2.5% commission plus $15,000–$50,000 in marketing, meaning total costs on a $1,000,000 home can reach $40,000–$75,000. Using Off Market Properties on the same $1M sale costs $20,000, a potential saving of $20,000–$55,000.
How much does Off Market Properties charge buyers?
Buyers pay a $2,000 upfront fee plus 2% of the purchase price at settlement. On a $1,000,000 property, the total fee is $22,000. The service includes professional buyer representation, property inspections, contract negotiation, and full settlement management. Off Market Properties states its negotiators typically secure 3–5% below asking price, which on a $1M property represents approximately $30,000 in savings.
What makes Off Market Properties different from traditional real estate agents?
Unlike traditional agents who list properties publicly on Domain or realestate.com.au, Off Market Properties operates exclusively in private transactions with no open homes, no auction pressure, and no public advertising. Sellers avoid marketing costs of $15,000–$50,000 and pay a lower 2% commission. Buyers access properties before they reach the public market and deal directly with motivated sellers, often at below-market prices. The network currently includes over 100 off-market sellers and 1,800-plus registered buyers.
Is 'off-market' on Domain or realestate.com.au the same as what Off Market Properties offers?
No. Off Market Properties specifically distinguishes its service from the 'off-market' tags used on Domain and realestate.com.au, noting that portal-listed 'off-market' properties are not truly off-market. The properties available through offmarketproperties.co are not listed on any public portal and are accessible only to registered buyers within the network.
Who is Off Market Properties a good fit for as a seller?
Off Market Properties suits sellers who want privacy during the sale process, wish to avoid open homes and public advertising, want to minimise selling costs, or need a discreet transaction. The service is particularly relevant for sellers of higher-value coastal properties where marketing costs and agent commissions would otherwise be significant. Recent examples include a Coolangatta beachfront sold in 12 days, a Burleigh Heads family home sold in 15 days, and a Currumbin Valley villa sold in 18 days, each with zero marketing spend.
Who is Off Market Properties a good fit for as a buyer?
Off Market Properties is suited to buyers who want early or exclusive access to properties before public listing, wish to avoid competitive auctions, or are purchasing remotely. The service specifically caters to FIFO mine workers who need flexible inspection schedules, Australian expats living overseas, and international investors from APAC markets (China, Singapore, Hong Kong) who require FIRB approval guidance and virtual inspections. All buyers registered with the service are described as finance-approved and committed.
Does Off Market Properties support international and overseas buyers?
Yes. Off Market Properties offers a dedicated suite of resources for international buyers, including FIRB (Foreign Investment Review Board) approval guidance, non-resident mortgage and financing support, virtual inspection services, and CGT and tax guidance for non-residents. APAC investors from China, Singapore, and Hong Kong receive bilingual support and currency transfer assistance. The platform notes that off-market transactions allow extended due diligence periods and flexible settlement terms suited to international finance timelines.
Does Off Market Properties support FIFO workers buying property?
Yes. Off Market Properties has a dedicated guide for FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) mine workers and offers remote buying services including flexible inspections, no requirement to attend auctions, and property management setup assistance. The service is designed around workers on two-week rosters who cannot easily attend open homes or auctions in person.
