An off-market property advisor on BuyItNext.com is a licensed real estate professional (e.g., broker, broker associate, agent, team leader) who wants to help unrepresented potential buyers connect with unrepresented property owners before a property is listed for sale. Off-market property advisors may also reach out to the current owner's last selling agent if registered on BuyItNext.com.
BuyItNext.com requires each off-market advisor to:
1. Be an actively licensed real estate professional with a minimum of 5 years of real estate experience.
2. Be registered on BuyItNext.com as a last-selling agent on the properties they helped current owners buy and hope to sell in the future.

For Property Owners:
Licensed off-market property advisors understand the off-market selling opportunities, values, trends, and inventory levels for each specific neighborhood, along with having a sound strategy for marketing, negotiating, and dealing with multiple offers from potential buyers, which are key factors to optimizing the final sales price.
For Potential Buyers:
Licensed off-market advisors develop a connected network and hyper-local market knowledge base that allows them to often learn of properties coming to the market before they hit the MLS. This puts registered potential buyers at a distinct advantage of being able to put in an offer ahead of the competition.
How can last-selling agents enhance their value to current owners of off-market properties and potential buyers?
Property owners for a variety of reasons, without obligation to market or sell their property, may want to enter into an Exclusive Right To Facilitate Off Market Offers agreement that designates a trusted advisor - like their last selling agent or a local off-market property advisor, to be the single point of contact for the limited purpose of handling unsolicited offers throughout the property owner's lifespan of ownership.
A single point of contact can also provide support to property owners wanting to grant a potential buyer a right of first offer. Learn more here.
Last-selling agent online visibility allows last-selling agents to establish brand control and connect with potential buyers throughout the duration of property ownership, which helps current owners when they're ready to sell. Below are the benefits last selling agents provide current owners and potential buyers.
