How Do You Market a Rental For Sale Without Alerting the Tenant?

[Jeff Rabinowitz]

I have a property I am interested in selling which has a tenant in place who is current on the rent and has lived in the property for a couple years. The tenant has no idea I am considering selling the property and I would like to keep it that way so I do not wish to list on the MLS. The property is under management and the property manager knows I am interested in selling but does not seem to have landlords looking to expand in that neighborhood. (It is a solid suburban location.) I don't want a lot of people driving by and do not wish to allow access to the property until I have a buyer who I am able to qualify.

How would you market such a property?

It's also referred to as an "office exclusive". Most MLSs offer a form similar to this one whereby the seller certifies that they do not want the property listed on MLS. It sounds like this would work well for your situation.
