MRB

In the world of high-value real estate, access is everything. The most desirable properties rarely hit the open market — they trade hands quietly, among a small circle of trusted intermediaries. Off-market deals exist precisely to protect privacy, exclusivity, and value, enabling sellers and buyers to connect discreetly without public exposure or market noise.

For sellers, off-market channels allow them to maintain control over who sees their property, avoid price erosion from overexposure, and engage with serious, qualified buyers only. This discretion is often essential for owners seeking privacy or handling complex estates.

For buyers, off-market opportunities provide access to rare inventory that isn’t publicly listed, reducing competition and enabling a more curated, focused acquisition process. These deals come with greater confidentiality and are typically accompanied by detailed data rooms and personalised presentations.

At MRB, we facilitate these transactions with the utmost care, vetting both sides to ensure confidentiality, authenticity, and clarity throughout the process.

Not every ‘off-market’ deal is truly private. Genuine off-market transactions typically involve:

• A direct mandate or ownership relationship
• Pre-qualified buyer protocols and vetting
• Signed non-disclosure agreements before detailed disclosure
• Pre-agreed commission structures embedded within the sale
• Strict controls on information access and timing

For example, MRB recently brokered a discreet sale of a £120 million London hotel, where confidentiality was paramount. The transaction was conducted entirely off-market, ensuring minimal publicity and a smooth negotiation between vetted parties.

This disciplined approach protects reputations, capital, and long-term interests — critical factors when dealing with assets of this scale.
