Buyer's Agent Advice

How We Source Off-Market Properties in Perth (and Why It Gives You an Edge)

Jul 30, 2025 By Max Campbell-Clause

When a great property hits the open market in Perth, chances are you’re already too late.

In today’s low-supply, high-demand environment, the most desirable homes are often sold before the first home open—even before they’re listed. These are what we call off-market properties, and at Acquire Buyers Agency, they’re our specialty.

Here’s how we consistently give our clients a head start in the market—and help them secure homes most buyers never even knew were for sale.

What Are Off-Market Properties?

An off-market property is any home or investment that sells without being publicly advertised on platforms like realestate.com.au or Domain.

These deals happen:

  • Through direct agent connections
  • Via buyer’s agent networks
  • As quiet sales for privacy or speed
  • During pre-market windows before campaigns launch

In a market like Perth where listings are tight and competition is fierce, off-market access is often the only way to get ahead.

Our Proven Off-Market Sourcing Process

At Acquire, sourcing off-market properties isn’t luck—it’s a system.

1. Agent-Only Networks

We’ve built strong, long-term relationships with the leading selling agents across Perth. Because we transact frequently, we’re often the first call when a vendor is open to a quiet, qualified sale.

2. On-the-Ground Conversations

We attend dozens of inspections every week, not just for our current clients, but to stay present and connected. Agents know we’re active, prepared, and represent serious buyers—which puts us at the front of the queue.

3. Direct-to-Owner Outreach

For highly specific briefs, we’ll contact property owners directly on your behalf—even if their homes aren’t for sale yet. This proactive approach can unlock opportunities with no competition at all.

4. Buyer Match Platforms

We use premium buyer-match tech and internal databases to pair your brief with silent listings from our network and other buyer-focused platforms.

The Benefits of Buying Off-Market

When you buy off-market with Acquire, you gain more than just early access.

🎯 Less Competition

Fewer buyers means less pressure and a stronger negotiation position.

🔍 Greater Control

You’re not rushed by a campaign timeline or auction day—giving time for due diligence.

💰 Potential Value

Off-market sellers often prioritise speed, privacy, or simplicity over top dollar. That’s a win for you.
