Off Market Real Estate
Skyline Properties is New York City's #1 off market real estate brokerage. The majority of Skyline's $976M+ in closed transactions never hit the open market. Robert Khodadadian and the Skyline team source, value, and quietly close confidential commercial real estate deals across Manhattan and Brooklyn.
What is Off Market Real Estate in NYC?
Off market real estate refers to commercial properties in New York City that are sold without ever being publicly listed. There is no offering memorandum on a public platform, no MLS exposure, no CoStar listing, no advertised auction. Instead, the seller's broker matches the property directly with a small, pre-vetted pool of buyers most likely to close at the right price.
In NYC, the most valuable commercial real estate transactions almost always happen this way. Trophy office buildings, rent-stabilized portfolios, prime development sites, and ground leases routinely change hands without a single line of public marketing. Skyline Properties has built its entire practice around running these confidential processes.
Why Sellers Choose Off Market Real Estate NYC
Sellers go off-market in NYC for a specific set of reasons — and once you have done it once, you rarely go back to public marketing. The off-market route protects pricing leverage, prevents tenant disruption, and produces a faster, cleaner closing.
- Confidentiality — no leaks to tenants, employees, lenders, or competitors
- Pricing discipline — no public bidding chaos, no auction premium games
- Speed — fewer parties, fewer rounds, faster diligence, faster close
- Control — the seller dictates timing, terms, and which buyers see the asset
- Net economics — no marketing tax, no public re-trade after exposure

No — off market is not a discount, it is a controlled execution. Sellers avoid the marketing tax and buyers avoid the auction premium, so off-market deals usually close at a clean, defensible number that both sides feel good about.
Skyline handles both off-market and openly marketed transactions. The firm's preference is off-market because it produces better outcomes for both buyers and sellers — but Skyline runs whatever process best fits the asset and the seller's objectives.
