What’s the top concern for luxury home buyers and sellers?
Not surprisingly, it’s privacy and security when conducting their personal business. In one survey, 82% of high-networth real estate buyers rated privacy as more important than ever. And we understand, because whether it’s your home or an investment you shouldn’t have to worry about safety. Often, it’s also so that your identity doesn’t impact price negotiations or so the purchase doesn’t tamper with your existing businesses.
As a result, many luxury buyers prefer to look for off-market listings. But, if the buyer is trying to remain anonymous and the seller is trying to remain anonymous how can you find each other? It’s a common problem in the luxury real estate industry, so you need the right connections and knowledge if you’re buying and selling high-end homes and properties.
Many agents struggle with finding private listings, as they are increasingly secretive. Then they often grapple with the challenges of selling the ones that they do secure. That's why it's important to make sure you're working with a knowledgeable and experienced luxury real estate team.
We've dealt with many of these types of transactions in the past, and we've created this guide to help you navigate the world of private home listings in Dubai. This is how you find a seller or a buyer with full discretion in this ultra-desirable market.
Complete Privacy in Your Real Estate Transactions
In this day and age, privacy can seem unattainable. When it comes to discretion, you want to work with professionals who have experience, but also respect your concerns for privacy.
Much like owning a luxury home is prestigious in itself, the process of buying and selling one is just as unique to you and your needs. You won’t want to follow the traditional route and put your home on the market. Instead, you need a variety of approaches to meet your needs and develop a customised plan.
Find a team that can help you understand how private listings work and guide you towards the method that will work best for your specific situation. In fact, many homes are listed internationally, but never locally, so you’ll want to have that edge in finding the best locations and property to meet your goals.
Because of this nature of conducting private sales, working with professionals who can help you navigate the market more confidently is of utmost importance. While there is more demand than supply, you’ll need insider knowledge to know where and how to get the best deal for buying or selling your luxury property not just blindly aiming at the stars.
Still, not all firms that offer exclusive private offerings are the same. For example, Christie’s International Real Estate Dubai luxury network gives you exclusive access to unlisted high-end properties, enabling you to reach more eligible buyers easily. Plus, there are in-house marketing programs to increase the interest of your home tapping a market that would, otherwise, be hard to reach in this secretive market.
How to Privately Buy & Sell Luxury Homes
When it comes to luxury real estate, discretion is crucial. Many buyers and sellers prefer to protect their identity when purchasing or selling luxury properties. But the only way you can achieve this is by partnering up with a team that strategises and takes into account how exactly you want to conduct your personal business.
We hide your address if necessary for increased privacy. Of course, if the location is a major selling point, we’ll advise that you do the opposite. But, more often than not, experts like us should be able to handle the task without revealing your address, giving you valuable advice to still take advantage of the market.
Setting up and using an LLC to buy your home or for a place to transfer it before selling. By doing so, you’ll make it more difficult for someone to find your real estate portfolio online, and see how much you paid or sold your home to the market. Ensure that the team you work with offers this service for heightened privacy.
Assess the photos you have. Many high-end buyers and sellers are easily swayed and convinced by professional photos. This is not unusual; you can chalk it up to strategic persuasion and our human behavior. You want to avoid this, so work with a knowledgeable team who can help you strike a balance—showing off the best qualities of the property, maintaining your privacy, and whipping up a compeling listing professionally.
No matter the specific needs you have, ensure that you work with a team that is flexible, experienced, and knowledgeable enough to meet your demands.
