Off-Market Buyer Process

“Off-market buying is a structured project. The advantage is speed and control—if qualification and documentation are ready.”

Off-Market Buyer Preoces (6 Steps)

Off-market buying works best when treated as a structured project. The goal is not “more options”—it is better options, faster decisions, and lower exposure.

Step 1 — Buyer Brief and Search Mandate

We define your target profile: asset type, micro-location, usage intention, timing, budget band, and non-negotiables (privacy, access, schooling/commute, crew requirements, hangar availability, etc.). This creates a decision framework that prevents wasted viewings.

Step 2 — NDA and Access Setup

Where required, an NDA is put in place to enable the secure sharing of details. We align expectations on confidentiality, stakeholder access (advisor/family office), and what can be disclosed at each stage.

Step 3 — Qualification (Identity, Intent, Readiness)

Off-market relies on trust. We verify the buyer’s legitimacy and readiness to act—typically including identity confirmation, decision structure, and evidence consistent with the transaction scope. This protects sellers and accelerates serious access.

Step 4 — Curated Shortlist and Introductions

Luxcenture sources on- and off-market options and delivers a curated shortlist—with a rationale for each option, key trade-offs, and next steps. Introductions are handled discreetly through mandates and trusted counterparties.

Step 5 — Viewings and Due Diligence

Viewings are arranged with controlled visibility. When interest is confirmed, we coordinate the diligence workflow—technical checks, documentation review, operational considerations (yacht/jet), and specialist input where needed.

Step 6 — Negotiation, Contracting, Closing

We structure offers, coordinate counterparties, and run the timeline through to closing. The objective is a clean execution path: aligned terms, controlled information flow, and a predictable closing sequence.

 

FAQ Buyer Process

1) What do I need to access off-market opportunities?
You typically need a clear buyer brief (asset type, location, timing, budget band) and basic qualification to confirm legitimacy and readiness. In many cases, an NDA is signed before identifiable details are disclosed. This keeps access curated and efficient for serious counterparties.

2) Why is proof of funds required?
Off-market sellers want certainty that viewings and negotiations are with capable buyers. Proof of funds (or equivalent readiness evidence) reduces wasted time, protects confidentiality, and accelerates access to sensitive information. The level of evidence is proportionate to the deal scope.

3) How quickly can you deliver a shortlist?
Once the brief is clear and the access prerequisites are in place (e.g., NDA/qualification where required), a first curated shortlist can often be delivered quickly. Timing depends on specificity, asset rarity, and current availability. Luxcenture prioritizes fit over volume and will set clear next steps from the start.

4) Can my advisor or family office be included under NDA?
Yes. Stakeholders such as a family office, lawyer, or tax advisor can be included under controlled disclosure, often under NDA. Access is staged so each party receives only what they need to perform their role.

5) How are off-market prices benchmarked when comps are limited?
We triangulate across curated comparables, current demand signals, asset-specific premiums/discounts (micro-location, condition, privacy), and documentation quality. When the public data is thin, disciplined benchmarking and due diligence become the pricing anchor. The objective is pricing integrity, not guesswork.

6) What happens if a property, yacht, or jet is not a perfect match?
Off-market is curated, so sometimes the best outcome is recognizing early that the current inventory is not the right fit. Luxcenture can expand sourcing through its network, refine the brief intelligently, or run a longer search mandate with defined checkpoints. This protects time and avoids compromised decisions.

7) How are viewings handled discreetly?
Viewings are staged and invitation-only, typically after qualification. Details are shared on a need-to-know basis, and viewing rules are set upfront (privacy, photography, attendees). This protects the owner while giving serious buyers a clean evaluation environment.
