A PRIVATE DIRECT SALE
Sell Your Luxury or Waterfront Property Directly
Private Luxury Home Sales purchases select luxury and waterfront properties throughout Sarasota and Florida's Gulf Coast. For owners who value privacy, simplicity and certainty, a direct sale provides another option before preparing and broadly marketing a property.

THE DIRECT-SALE DIFFERENCE
A Different Way to Sell an Exceptional Property
A traditional luxury sale begins with preparation: repairs, updates, staging, photography and a public marketing campaign. A direct sale begins with a conversation about the property as it stands today.
Instead of first preparing the property for the traditional market, you can explore a direct purchase with us and see what that option actually looks like. We evaluate the property for our own account as the purchaser, so the discussion is about the property, the terms and your timing rather than about a listing and marketing strategy.
That changes three things that normally drive the timeline of a luxury sale. Repairs, renovations and staging are not necessary, because we evaluate the property in its current condition. Broad public marketing and repeated showings are not required, because the property does not need to be promoted to the open market for us to consider it. And the transaction is not dependent upon a buyer obtaining mortgage financing, which removes a common source of uncertainty late in a sale.
A direct sale is not the right answer for every owner or every property. It is one option, and it is worth understanding before you commit to a route. Read more about the benefits of a private direct sale →
Direct
Deal directly with us as the purchaser rather than preparing the property for market.
As-Is

Flexible Closing
Choose a closing schedule that works for your circumstances, subject to the requirements of the transaction.
SEQUENCE AND TIMING
Before You Decide to List
Selling directly does not have to be a decision you make after trying the traditional market. You can explore whether a direct purchase makes sense before investing time and money preparing, photographing, showing and publicly marketing your property.
The order matters, because most pre-sale spending is committed early. Paint, flooring, kitchen and bath updates, landscaping, cleanout, staging and professional photography are generally paid for before the first buyer ever walks through the door. Reviewing a direct purchase first simply tells you what one concrete alternative looks like while those decisions are still open.
If broad market exposure and competitive bidding turn out to be what your property needs, that route remains fully available to you. Requesting a review does not limit your options and does not obligate you to accept an offer.

A FACTUAL COMPARISON
A Direct Purchase and a Traditional Listing, Side by Side
Both are legitimate ways to sell a luxury property, and they differ in structure rather than in quality. This is how the two compare on the points owners ask about most.
| Consideration | Private direct purchase | Traditional public listing |
|---|---|---|
| Public marketing | Not required. No MLS listing, open houses or mass online advertising are needed for us to evaluate the property. | Central to the strategy. Exposure to as many qualified buyers as possible is the point of a listing. |
| Showings and access | A single private property visit, arranged with you, if the property is a potential fit. | Repeated showing appointments and open houses over the course of the listing period. |
| Photography | Your home's interior, personal belongings and private living spaces do not need to be photographed for public marketing. | Professional interior and exterior photography is typically produced and published publicly. |
| Property preparation | Repairs, updates, staging and renovations are not necessary. We evaluate the property in its current condition. | Pre-sale preparation, repairs and staging are commonly recommended before the property goes to market. |
| Buyer financing | Our direct purchase is not dependent upon a buyer obtaining mortgage financing. | Offers frequently include financing and appraisal contingencies that the sale depends on. |
| Closing timeline | Choose a closing schedule that works for your circumstances, subject to the requirements of the transaction. | Depends on when an acceptable offer arrives and on the buyer's contingency and lender timelines. |
| Price discovery | One buyer's written offer, which you are free to accept or decline. | Broad exposure can produce competing offers and competitive price discovery. |
| Listing commission | Because we are purchasing the property directly rather than listing it for sale, there is no traditional Realtor listing commission. | Brokerage compensation is negotiated between the owner and the brokerage and set out in the listing agreement. |
| Who you deal with | The purchaser, directly. | A listing brokerage that represents you in marketing and negotiating the sale. |
If you already have a listing agreement or another brokerage obligation in place, it remains subject to your existing agreement, and you may want to review it before pursuing any sale route. Every direct purchase is governed by the written offer and purchase contract for that specific property.
