Off market sales... why does anyone sell or buy off market?

Yesterday, I was delighted to close the off market purchase of a great house  in Sandymount for €3.3m on behalf of a lovely client. The sale was being handled by Mark Stafford in DNG who was a complete pleasure to deal with during the process. Sometimes things just all fall into place, and this was one of those times.

I'm beginning to deal with more and more off market sales and here are some of the common denominators  I've noticed in these transactions…

In what situation may a buyers agent be the right choice for you?

You may be in one of the following more unusual situations, such as:

• You may be living abroad, possibly in a different time zone and finding it hard to coordinate the search and purchase of a property in Dublin.

• You live or have lived outside of Dublin or Ireland for a long period and no longer have the familiarity with the city that would allow you feel comfortable buying property here.
