What is the invisible market?
Many homebuyers are surprised to find out that not every home for sale appears on the MLS or on sites like REALTOR.CA. In fact there is a large "invisible market" of hard-to-find deals and off-market properties that trade without hitting the public market.
These include Off-Market Properties, Foreclosures, Private Sales, Power of Attorney Sales, Tax Sales, Estate Sales and More.
As a licensed Real Estate Broker and REALTOR™, I have access to all of these deals and more, and I am happy to provide priority access to all homes and condos for sale in Ottawa that match your criteria, not just from our Brokerage but from every Brokerage in Ottawa and beyond.

What sort of deals will I get access to?
Hard to Find Deals are properties that sometimes don't make it to the open market, are not adequately promoted, or which sell quickly when they do make it to market. These deals include:
Bank Foreclosures
Bank foreclosures happen when a an owner defaults on their mortgage and the bank sells the property to settle the owner’s debt. These properties often sell fast and at discounted prices compared to neighbouring properties.
Power of Attorney Sales
Power of Attorney sales occur when someone sells property for an owner who is unable or unwilling to manage the sale process themselves. Like Estate sales, they are often sold “as is” and at a discount.
Estate Sales
Estate sales involve selling properties from the estate of an owner that has passed away. These sales are often sold “as is” and without warranties because the seller (the estate executor) has not lived in the home, and for that reason sell at significant discounts.
Distressed Sales
Distressed sales include quick sales due to financial or other hardship. These properties are often some of the best deals but they sell quickly as the sellers are looking for cash quickly.
Exclusive Off Market Opportunities
We also offer access to exclusive Off Market Opportunities, including Private Listings and Pre-MLS Listings. These off-market homes come from our extensive database of clients who are looking to move or downsize. As soon as we find new homes for these clients, we list their current properties. This process provides buyers with a unique opportunity to secure desirable homes before they officially hit the market, ensuring you have access to some of the best real estate deals available.
- 1Private Sales: Private sales involve transactions where properties are sold directly by the owner without being listed publicly. This approach offers several advantages:
- Less Competition: Because these listings are not on the open market, buyers face fewer competitors, increasing the chances of securing the property and reducing the hassle of writing offers that aren’t accepted.
- Flexible Negotiations: Direct dealings with the seller’s agent can allow for more personalized and flexible negotiation terms.
- 2Pre-MLS Listings Pre-MLS listings are properties that are set to be listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) but are available to select buyers beforehand. This offers:
- Early Access: Buyers can view and make offers on these homes before they become available to the broader market.
- Competitive Edge: Getting in early can often mean the difference between securing a property and missing out.
- Informed Decisions: Early access allows buyers more time to conduct thorough inspections and evaluations without the pressure of a highly competitive market.
