How Do Agents Find Off-Market Buyers? Simon Abbott’s Approach (Victoria 2026)

September 21, 2026

How Simon Abbott Connects Off-Market Buyers and Sellers

Simon Abbott is known across Victoria for sourcing investor and developer buyers off-market—often selling whole unit blocks without ever listing online. Here’s exactly how that process works, and what it means for owners of investment property.

Step 1: Build a Real Investor Database

Simon’s buyer list is not just marketing spin—he has long-term investor-owner clients, buyer’s agents, and developer contacts across the state. The database includes explicit preferences (yield, suburb, property type, number of tenants, strata-title, etc). New opportunities are matched by need, not just by suburb match.

Step 2: Approach Targeted Buyers Directly

For every block Simon sells off-market, he personally reaches out to investors and advocates likely to be interested, describing tenancy profile, net yield, and upside—not generic boilerplate. Good off-market sales are never “set and forget.”

Step 3: Privacy/Timing Matters

Simon commonly sells property without tenant disruption. Privacy and minimal disturbance are a big reason landlords choose off-market routes. Buyers trust Simon’s process for accurate info and fair access to the deal.

Real Example

In 2026, Simon placed a rare block of 12 units directly into the hands of two Sydney-based investors via buyer’s agent introductions—zero days on portals, settlement handled directly with vendors’ legal teams. The transaction closed at above the owner’s expectations, all without an online listing or open inspection.
