A concrete situation

When you want to sell — but not announce it to the world

Marie inherited a 6-plex from her father two years ago. She manages it alone, and the work is mounting: a difficult tenant, ageing roof, rents that haven't been raised in years. She wants to sell.

But she doesn't want a sign on the building. She doesn't want her tenants to find out before the deal is done. She doesn't want to organize showings in occupied units on weeknights. She doesn't want to explain the situation to a dozen strangers.

She wants to sell discreetly, to someone who knows what an income property is worth, without fuss. That's exactly what an off-market sale with ImmoMulti looks like.

Definition

What is an off-market sale?

An off-market sale means selling a property without a public listing. No sign on the building, no profile on Centris, DuProprio or other platforms, no public price announcement, no mass showings organized.

The transaction takes place directly between seller and buyer — confidentially. This is only possible when the buyer:

  • is already looking for this type of property and knows what it's worth,
  • has the financial capacity to buy without depending on a bank's approval at the last moment,
  • and can move quickly, without a complex offer process.

ImmoMulti is exactly this type of buyer. We actively seek income properties in Québec — duplex, triplex, quadruplex, plex and larger multi-units — and we can make a firm written offer within 48 h, without any public announcement.

The off-market process

How an off-market sale with ImmoMulti works

Three simple steps — no listing, no showings, no public announcement.

1

You share the basics — confidentially

Location, number of units, estimated income and expenses, existing leases, timeline. No obligation, no commitment. Everything stays between us from the first message.

2

We analyze and come back to you within 48 h

We assess the property's actual net income (NOI) and the cap rate applied in your local market. You receive a firm written offer — a real price, not an estimate to validate later.

3

You decide — on your timeline

No pressure, no expiry date on the offer. You can share it with your notary or accountant. If you accept: we sign the purchase agreement, and the accepted price is the price paid at closing. Financing already in place, no revocable conditions.

4

Closing at the notary — on your date

Closing in a few weeks, or later if you prefer. We take over the tenants and existing leases. Your tenants receive a notice of change of ownership from the notary — nothing before that, nothing public.

Who chooses an off-market sale

The 6 profiles of owners who prefer off-market

There is no single reason to sell off-market. Here are the situations we encounter most often — they all share the same need: sell without broadcasting it.

The discreet retiree

Ready to sell after years of management. Doesn't want the neighbours or tenants to know before everything is signed. Prefers a clean break without a public process.

The estate or co-heir

Inherited a property with siblings or co-heirs. Needs a fast, clean sale without family conflicts becoming public. Off-market sale avoids the delays of a public listing during a delicate family period.

The separating couple

Divorce or separation: the couple needs to sell the income property without the situation becoming known publicly — especially to their tenants or creditors. Confidentiality is essential.

The overwhelmed manager

Difficult tenants, deferred work, management becoming too much. Doesn't want a sign on the building that signals problems to everyone. Wants to sell quietly, without an announcement that creates more complications.

The portfolio reshuffler

Investor who wants to liquidate a property without telegraphing their portfolio moves to the market. Prefers a confidential, direct transaction — fast and certain.

The owner in financial difficulty

Mortgage in arrears, negative cash flow, refinancing refused. Needs to sell quickly and confidentially — without a public listing that signals distress and invites lowball offers.

Why discretion matters

Why discretion matters in the sale of an income property

Selling an income property is not like selling a house. The stakes of a public listing are different — and often underestimated.

Your tenants

When tenants learn their building is for sale, some become anxious, demand explanations, reduce maintenance efforts — or even stop paying. Off-market, they find out only at closing, from the notary.

Your reputation and relationships

A sign on a building in a small community or among a tight-knit landlord network can trigger questions you'd rather not have to answer publicly. Discretion protects your privacy and your relationships.

Your negotiating position

A public listing signals the price you're expecting and how long you've been trying to sell. Off-market, the information stays private — which protects your ability to negotiate on your own terms.

Your family or co-owners

An estate, partnership or separation sale often requires that the process remains private until a decision is made. A public listing can complicate family dynamics before the transaction is finalized.

Your creditors

In a financial difficulty situation, a public listing signals your vulnerability. Off-market, your creditors learn of the sale only when it's done — giving you more room to manage the situation on your terms.

Your time

A public listing creates an obligation to respond to inquiries, organize showings, follow up with multiple parties. An off-market sale eliminates all of this: one contact, one process, one decision.

Off-market vs. traditional sale

Off-market vs. traditional sale: the real differences

Number of contactsOne single contactBroker + multiple potential buyers

Important: An off-market sale is not automatically better in every situation. If your priority is to test the market and potentially attract multiple competing offers, a public listing with a broker can make sense. The off-market route is best for owners who value discretion, speed and certainty over the possibility of a slightly higher price after a long market process. Talk to your notary or accountant to understand what makes sense for your specific situation.

In detail

The off-market sale process in detail

Step 1: Confidential initial contact

You reach out — by message or form. You share the property's basic details: city, number of units, estimated annual income, major expenses, existing leases and your timeline. This commits you to nothing and stays entirely confidential from the first message.

Step 2: Analysis and firm offer within 48 h

Our team reviews the property's actual net income (NOI), the cap rate applied by investors in your local market, and the state of the building based on the information you provide. We then send you a written, firm purchase offer — a real price, not a range to "confirm after a visit."

Step 3: You decide — on your terms

There's no pressure and no deadline to respond immediately. You can show the offer to your notary, accountant or trusted advisor. If the price works for you, we sign the purchase agreement. The accepted price is the price paid at the notary — no renegotiation, no surprise reduction after the inspection.

Step 4: Financing already in place

Our buying capacity is already confirmed (down payments available and established banking relationships). There is no revocable financing condition that could collapse the sale at the last minute. This is one of the most common ways a traditional sale falls through — it simply doesn't apply here.

Step 5: Closing at the notary

We close at the notary on the date you choose — a few weeks out, or later if you prefer. We take over the tenants and existing leases. Your tenants receive a notice of change of ownership from the notary as required by law — but nothing is announced before then, publicly or privately.

Frequently asked questions

Off-market sale — your questions answered

An off-market sale means selling a property without a public listing — no sign on the building, no profile on Centris, DuProprio or other platforms. The transaction takes place directly between seller and buyer, discreetly. The buyer must already be looking for this type of property and have the means to move without external financing conditions.

Several reasons: protecting tenant privacy, avoiding a sign that signals management problems, maintaining confidentiality during a family transition or partnership split, avoiding disrupting tenants with multiple showings, or simply preferring a simpler and faster process. Many owners also want to avoid brokerage commissions (4% to 7%) and deal directly with a serious buyer.

Yes, if you deal with a serious long-term buyer. ImmoMulti's offer is based on the property's actual net income (NOI) and local cap rates — not on your personal urgency or situation. Add to that the zero commission (4% to 7% saved) and no renegotiation after inspection: the net in your pocket is often comparable to a broker-assisted sale, without the delays and hassle.

Only the parties necessary for the transaction: you, ImmoMulti, and your respective notaries. Your tenants, neighbours, family members and creditors don't need to know you're selling. There is no public listing, no sign, no announcement on real estate platforms.

1. You contact us confidentially. 2. You share the basics: location, units, income, expenses, leases. 3. We analyze and get back to you within 48 h with a firm written offer. 4. You decide, on your timeline. 5. If you accept, we sign the purchase agreement (the accepted price is the price paid). 6. We close at the notary in a few weeks or on your preferred date.

Yes, completely. There is no legal obligation to use a broker or list publicly when selling a property in Québec. An off-market sale with a direct buyer is entirely legal and is actually very common for income properties.

There are no showings — so your tenants are never disturbed. The sale doesn't appear on any public platform. Your tenants learn of the change of ownership only at closing, when they receive a notice from the notary as required by law. Until then, nothing public is visible.

ImmoMulti buys income properties across the North Shore of Montréal (Saint-Jérôme, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Eustache, Deux-Montagnes, Blainville, Boisbriand, Mirabel, Mascouche, Terrebonne, Repentigny…), the Laurentians and Greater Montréal (including Laval).

A private sale via DuProprio is still a public listing — your property appears on the platform, with photos and a price. An off-market sale with ImmoMulti is never public: no listing, no photos posted, no price announced. The difference is total discretion vs. public visibility without a broker.

No. There's no staging, no preparation for photos and no work required. We buy properties in their current condition — occupied, partially vacant, needing renovation, with difficult tenants. As-is.

You receive a firm written offer within 48 h of sharing your details. If you accept, closing at the notary typically takes a few weeks (often 2 to 4 weeks) or on the date you choose. This is significantly faster than a traditional listing sale, which averages 30 to 90 days on market before selling, plus a separate closing period.

No. ImmoMulti is a direct buyer — we don't charge a commission or fees. The price offered is the price paid at the notary. Zero commission, zero brokerage fees.

Yes. The sale proceeds are used to repay the existing mortgage at closing (the notary handles this automatically). The balance after repayment goes to you. An existing mortgage does not block an off-market sale.
