When it comes to selling your home, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
Some sellers want maximum exposure and competition. Others prefer a more private, low-key process. The good news? You have options.
Two of the most common strategies are selling off market or launching a full public campaign. Both can deliver strong results, it just comes down to choosing the right fit for your property and your goals.
An off market sale means your property is sold without being publicly advertised online.
Instead, it’s introduced to a pool of pre-qualified buyers, often from an agent’s database – who are actively looking and ready to act.
This approach is typically more discreet and controlled, making it appealing for sellers who value privacy or want to test buyer interest without committing to a full campaign.
OFF MARKET can work well if you:
An on market campaign is what most people think of when selling – when your property is listed online, marketed across multiple platforms and opened up to the broader buyer pool.
This often includes open homes, digital marketing and, in many cases, an auction or set sale date.
The goal is simple: create as much visibility and competition as possible.

This is where strategy matters.
In some cases, an off market campaign can deliver a great result quickly, especially when there’s strong buyer demand and a well-matched database.
In others, going to market and creating competition is what drives a premium price.
We’re also seeing more sellers take a hybrid approach – starting off market to gauge interest, then moving to a full campaign if needed. It’s a flexible way to test the waters without missing opportunities.
When selling your home, it isn’t about choosing the “right” method. It’s about choosing the right method for you.
In coastal suburbs like Sorrento and the surrounding areas, strong buyer databases can play a big role in off market success. But equally, when multiple buyers are competing for limited stock, a public campaign can really drive momentum.
That’s why having a tailored strategy, backed by local knowledge, makes all the difference.
