Many homeowners prefer a private sale to avoid preparing their home for showings, hosting open houses, or having their property publicly listed. An off-market transaction also allows for greater discretion and a more personalized selling process with no realtor fees.

Every property is evaluated individually based on factors such as location, waterfront frontage, views, lot size, comparable sales, redevelopment potential, and current market conditions.
