Off-market transactions
Some of the best property never reaches the portals at all. We work discreetly — with sellers who want no publicity, and buyers who want no competition.
For owners who need discretion, and buyers looking for rare properties
The problem
The market that is not on the portals
Every buyer believes they are seeing the whole market. What they actually see is the part of it owners agreed to advertise. In the higher price bracket, and among unusual properties, a good share of sales happen with no listing at all — known only to a few agents and a narrow circle of buyers.
The reasons are simple and human. One owner does not want staff or business partners to learn the property is going up for sale. Another does not want curious neighbours walking through the house. A third is dealing with a divorce or an inheritance and would rather it did not become the talk of the street.
For buyers this offers two things at once: access to properties competitors never see, and a transaction free of the auction atmosphere where the price climbs simply because seven people viewed the same flat on the same day.
Where the money usually goes
- The best properties sell before they ever reach a public listing
- Public listings in the higher segment attract unwanted attention
- The owner does not want neighbours or competitors to learn about the sale
- Open viewings attract the curious rather than real buyers
- The buyer competes with others for the same property and overpays
- Photographs stay in public view online for a long time
The solution
How we work
An off-market sale rests on a network, not on a listing. White Vision Group keeps a continuously updated list of qualified buyers: what each is looking for, the budget, whether financing is already approved, how quickly they can decide. When a property comes up for discreet sale, we show it only to the people it genuinely suits.
For a seller it means complete control. No public listing, no photographs on the portals, no calls out of the blue. Only specific, pre-vetted people see the property, and viewings happen when it suits you. Where you want one, we sign a confidentiality agreement.
For a buyer this means access and time. The property is shown before the market would see it, the decision can be made without auction pressure, and the negotiation happens calmly between two parties rather than as a race of offers.
What you get, specifically
- Presenting the property with no public listing and no photographs on the portals
- A list of qualified buyers with financing confirmed
- A confidentiality agreement where the nature of the deal calls for one
- Private viewings at a time that suits the owner
- For buyers — first sight of properties before they are listed publicly
- Discreet negotiation without competitive pressure
- Coordinating the transaction from agreement to handover
The process
The off-market process
At every stage you know what is happening, who is responsible and when to expect a result.
- 01
A confidential conversation
We meet to understand the situation and how much discretion is needed: whether the property may be shown to selected buyers only, or also without disclosing the address. Where appropriate we sign a confidentiality agreement.
- 02
Valuation
We value the property against real comparable transactions. Off-market the price has to be especially accurate — there is no public market feedback here to correct it.
- 03
A closed presentation pack
We prepare a pack for selected buyers only: photographs, a floor plan, technical details and a summary of the documents. None of it goes to the portals or to social media.
- 04
Buyer screening
From our own database we select buyers the property genuinely suits and verify that they can finance it. We present it in person, one at a time, with no parallel viewings.
- 05
Private viewings
We arrange viewings at a time that suits the owner and attend them ourselves. After each one we collect feedback and discuss whether the presentation or the price needs adjusting.
- 06
Negotiation and closing
We negotiate directly with one specific buyer, without auction pressure. From there we coordinate the documents, the notary, the payment arrangements and the handover — just as discreetly.
Result
What you get
For a seller it means a sale without publicity. The property changes hands and only those who need to know, know. In practice one in five of our transactions happens without a public listing, and in the higher segment the share is greater still.
For a buyer, access to property they would simply never see. Clients on our buyer list hear about suitable properties on average two weeks before those reach the open market — and some of them never appear publicly at all.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear at almost every first meeting. If yours is not here, write to us and we will answer it personally.
No, provided the price is right and the circle of buyers is a good one. An off-market price is built on the same comparable evidence, and the buyers have been selected on their actual ability to pay. In the higher price bracket a discreet sale often does better, because the property never loses its freshness and never sits on the market for months.
Send us an enquiry with your criteria and budget, and we will be in touch to go through the detail. We add buyers to the list whose requirements are clear and whose financing is real — which is precisely what lets us show them property the owners would rather not advertise.
Yes, where the nature of the transaction calls for it. A confidentiality agreement is most often used for business premises, higher-value property and sensitive personal circumstances. It covers not just the address but the fact of the sale and its terms.
The number changes constantly, but on average it is a dozen or so properties — from flats in the Old Town to commercial premises and land. We do not publish the list, for the very reason that doing so would defeat the point of the service. Properties that match your criteria we present in person.
Yes, and it is often a useful strategy. For the first two to four weeks we show the property only to a closed circle of buyers. If no suitable offer comes in that time, we move to a public listing — and the property arrives on the market entirely fresh, with the material already prepared.
Selling without a listing usually means simply that nobody sees the property. Off-market means it is seen by a precisely chosen set of buyers with the means to proceed, drawn from an established database. The difference is the quality of the network — without one, discretion is just silence.
