01The Situation

“Is There Any Chance We Could Buy?”

In this case, two tenants renting homes managed by Frisco Property Management, a division of the Mark Frisco Team, approached us with the same question: “Is there any chance we could buy the home we’re living in?”

Because of the relationships we had already built with both the tenants and the out-of-state homeowners, we were able to turn that question into two successful off-market home sales—creating a seamless path to homeownership without ever going live on the market.

Both properties were being professionally managed by our team for homeowners who had relocated out of state.

  • 01The tenants loved their homes
  • 02The landlords trusted our team to manage their investments
  • 03Neither property was actively listed for sale

This created a unique opportunity—but one that required careful communication, negotiation, and coordination on both sides.

02The Challenge

Off-Market Transactions Can Be Tricky.

There’s no public pricing, no competitive market exposure, and no standard structure guiding the process.

Both parties needed:

  • 01Clear and fair pricing guidance
  • 02Alignment on timing and financing
  • 03Confidence that they were making the right decision

Without the right team facilitating the process, deals like this can easily fall apart.

03The Strategy

Leading From a Place of Trust.

Because we already had established relationships with both the homeowners and tenants, we were able to lead the conversation from a place of trust.

04The Execution

What We Did

Our team:

  • 01Opened the dialogue with both landlords about potential sale opportunities
  • 02Guided pricing discussions using current Southern Maryland market data
  • 03Coordinated financing timelines with both tenants
  • 04Managed communication between all parties to avoid delays or confusion
  • 05Structured terms that worked for both buyers and sellers

By handling both the property management and sales side, we were able to keep everything aligned from start to finish.

05The Result

No Showings. No Staging. No Uncertainty.

The outcome was exactly what everyone hoped for:

  • Two tenants became homeowners.
  • Two out-of-state landlords sold their properties smoothly.
  • Both homes sold completely off-market.

Just a clear, well-managed path to closing for everyone involved.

06Why It Matters

Why This Matters

This is the power of working with a team that goes beyond just buying and selling.

Through our property management services, we build long-term relationships with both homeowners and tenants—and sometimes, those relationships create opportunities that simply don’t exist on the open market.

In this case, those relationships helped two families achieve homeownership while allowing two sellers to move on from their properties without the stress of listing.

A true win-win—and a perfect example of how everything clicks when you have the right team in place.

Learn how some Southern Maryland renters are becoming homeowners without ever hitting the market—and how off-market opportunities are creating a smoother path to buying and selling.
