Why Off-Market Selling Works for Block-of-Units Sales: Simon Abbott’s Guide

Off-market selling has become the savvy owner’s choice for blocks of units, apartments and townhouse complexes—especially where tenant disruption and privacy matter. Simon Abbott, Collings’ specialist in large investment assets, outlines why this strategy delivers.

The Off-Market Advantage

• No repeated inspections or open homes—tenants face minimal disruption
• Discreet, confidential campaign protects privacy (important for multi-unit landlords)
• No expensive, public-facing marketing campaigns or awkward online feedback
• Enables buyer matching through robust investor/buyer’s agent database
• Competition still created via qualified buyers—not “testing the market”
• Opportunity to build solid information memorandums for buyers upfront

Who Benefits?

Off-market is ideal for investment blocks, particularly where the landlord values privacy, tenant retention, and efficient selling. Investors, developers, and buyer’s agents often prefer this process.
