Off Market Deal Question

[Chris Fore]

Hi, Quick Question.  Obviously it's an insane for Sellers right now - Dozens of offers over asking, no contingencies,etc.  Everyone's recommendation on here seems to be to find off-market deals.

My question is: if I put myself in the shoes of a person who is willing to sell (your off-market owner), why would I sell it at a discount to you?  Why wouldn't I just jump in the fray and get a number potentially above appraisal even?  

I know people are buying a lot of off market deals right now, just unclear why people are selling them?

Thanks for the clarity!
