Will selling my parents' Co Cork home 'off-market' reduce my chances of achieving a good price?

An off-market sale handled by an agent can be less hassle for a seller living elsewhere, but there will be fewer bidders, says Majella Galvin

An off-market sale means the property is sold without being publicly advertised. Instead, an estate agent discreetly introduces it to a select group of pre-qualified buyers.

H i Majella, I am planning to sell my parents’ home, which is in rural Co Cork, this summer.

However, I’ve lived overseas and, given the distance, I want to keep things as simple and stress-free as possible.
