Pros and Cons of an "Off-Market Deal"
12 September 2018 | 8 replies
Lower price (maybe...I see plenty of overpriced off market deals).Cons:Chain of title and closing process can be (not always) shady, with multiple contracts, assignments, and/or changes of ownership.Less room for negotiation (most are cash only, no due diligence, take it or leave it, close next week).More downside financial risk - with no inspections or due diligence, you better know what exactly what you're getting into, and/or be able to weather the inevitable surprises.Less recourse - in many cases, you're dealing with unlicensed individuals who have no regulatory authority policing them or enforcing rules that protect the consumer.MLSPros:More info available up front.Clearer chain of title and cleaner closing process.Everything is negotiable (price, closing date, due diligence period, financing options, etc).Less downside risk with availability of inspections and process for resolving inspection deficiencies.More recourse - agents are licensed and should be following legal and ethical guidelines.Cons:More competition (if buying) - The MLS is arguably the single best way to market a property for sale, and ensure the maximum number of eyeballs can find it if they are looking.
