In real estate, not every success story plays out on the open market.
Sometimes, the most meaningful deals happen quietly — behind the scenes, with trust, timing, and deep care guiding every decision.
This month, I had the honor of helping two families navigate off-market transactions that were about so much more than property. Each was a story of transition — handled with intention, discretion, and the goal of turning the page with clarity and peace of mind.
🏡 Off-Market Sale #1: A Triplex in Oakland Finds New Life
Representing the seller, I helped close on a vacant triplex in Oakland that had become part of an estate following the passing of a loved one.
Estate sales can be emotional and complex — full of paperwork, logistics, and tender memories. For this family, my goal was to make the process as seamless and dignified as possible.
We launched the listing off market, tapping into Compass’ private network and trusted local relationships. Within six days, we had multiple offers in hand and closed at 12% over the most recent comparable sale — well above expectations.
It was more than just a strong financial result; it was closure for a family ready to move forward. And that’s the kind of outcome that reminds me why this work matters so deeply.
🛠️ Off-Market Purchase #2: New Beginnings in Baldwin Hills
On the other side of the transaction, I represented a group of seasoned investors who have spent years breathing new life into homes throughout View Park, Baldwin Hills, and Baldwin Vista. Their projects have become neighborhood favorites — thoughtful, design-forward renovations that honor community character while adding modern beauty and functionality.
Together, we secured a single-family home off market, negotiating a purchase nearly $75K below recent comparable sales. The deal was smooth, strategic, and deeply collaborative — the kind that feels like a true partnership between buyer and agent.
I can’t wait to share the transformation once this property is reborn — another Baldwin Hills gem ready to shine.
💡 The Power of Off-Market Strategy
Both of these transactions are powerful reminders of what’s possible when real estate is handled with care and strategy.
Privacy. Timing. Relationships.
They’re not just buzzwords — they’re the foundation of off-market success.
Whether you’re considering selling quietly, testing pricing, or exploring private opportunities as a buyer, off-market deals can offer unmatched flexibility, discretion, and results.

Sometimes the best opportunities aren’t the ones you see — they’re the ones you hear about first.
