Silent sales

VLIEG simplifies.

Silently selling or finding a home not yet listed online

Not every home appears on housing websites, and not every seller wants it immediately visible that a house is for sale. Sometimes you first want certainty about your next move, or would rather not have your neighbors already know you are moving. In that case, a silent auction is an option.

Silent selling is the way to sell your home discreetly or find a home that is not (yet) listed online. At VLIEG we advise you on the right (sales) strategy, tailored to your situation and wishes. Thanks to our large database of searchers we can quickly and effectively bring properties to the attention of potential buyers.

Your home in silent auction

With a silent auction, you decide who gets to see your home. Your home will be registered in our brokerage system and brought to the attention of our network of serious house hunters, but will not appear on the well-known home sites. In this way you maintain control over the process and avoid viewings by people who respond mainly out of curiosity.

Our large database of home seekers allows us to make the right matches quickly. We have a nationwide network and therefore also reach prospective buyers from outside the region. This significantly increases your chances of selling, even without a public listing.

You are in control. For example, you can choose to have your home:

  • To be shared exclusively within our network
  • Display anonymously on our website, without price or address
  • Or make it fully visible at a later date through public sales channels

Looking for homes on silent auction?

Then you are also in the right place at VLIEG. More and more homes are first offered for silent sale. Not visible on Funda or other housing websites, but exclusively brought to the attention of house seekers who have actively registered with an estate agent.

So as a home seeker, silent sales offer you a unique opportunity. By registering with VLIEG, you stay informed about homes that have not yet appeared on the market. You will receive only the offer that suits your housing needs.

Whether you want to sell or buy, thanks to our network of ten VLIEG branches, we bring supply and demand together in a targeted way.

We have offices in Alkmaar, Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Bergen, Haarlem, Heerhugowaard , Hoofddorp , Lelystad , Schagen and Zaandam .

Why silent auction?

With a silent auction, you and your real estate agent decide together how the home will be advertised. There will be no “for sale” sign in the garden and your home will not appear on major housing platforms. The sale is more focused, quieter and on your terms.

There are several reasons to choose silent sales. For example, you want to:

  • maintain your privacy
  • first find another home
  • sell only to a serious buyer
  • not yet showing the outside world that you are moving


Whatever your reason, at VLIEG we will provide an approach that suits you. Your home will be shared within the broker network and through our extensive database of house seekers. Only serious candidates will be approached. Viewings will only take place if there is real interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does silent selling work?

With a silent auction, your home is not publicly presented on housing platforms or social media. The property is shared within the broker network and with searchers who fit your property type or location.

How do I find out about homes on silent auction?

Many homes are first offered out of public view. By signing up with VLIEG, you’ll receive updates on homes on silent auction that match your housing needs.

Is silent selling something for me?

It depends on your situation. Do you want to reach a large audience quickly? Then regular sales are more effective. Do you want more direction, less visibility and only serious candidates? Then silent sales are probably a better fit. We are happy to think along with you.

Can I still choose active selling later?

Yes, we can. If a buyer is not forthcoming through a silent auction, we can still actively market your home.

Are silent sales only for higher-end homes?

No. Silent sales are applied to all types of homes in different price ranges. It’s mostly about your preferences and sales strategy.

So will my property not be listed anywhere online at all?

You decide that together with your real estate agent. In some cases, the property is also posted on our own website, without a full address or asking price. Everything is done in consultation.

We are going to give you excellent help!

Great fast service by Jeanette informing clearly on the insurance packages and executing the changes in no time
Na eerst een aantal makelaars uitgenodigd te hebben zijn we voor Vlieg makelaar gegaan om ons huis te verkopen. Professioneel en vlot. Een duidelijk verhaal. Met de...laatste verkooptips in ons hoofd zijn we gaan opruimen. Toen het zover was dat de fotograaf langs kwam is de makelaar nog geweest om alles nog door te nemen. Dat gaf een goed gevoel. Bezichtigingen werden keurig bijgehouden en we konden precies zien hoeveel bezichtigingen er waren. De verkoop verliep soepel. Dikke pluim voor Marloes en Sophie die veel voor ons gedaan hebben en natuurlijk jullie team! Bedanktread more

Joey heeft ons echt ontzettend goed begeleid en geholpen tijdens het proces. Voor elke vraag stond hij vrijwel direct voor ons klaar. Zonder Joey was het een stuk...ingewikkelder geworden. Als je op zoek bent naar een zeer deskundige en betrokken adviseur, dan is Joey de juiste persoon.read more
