Tickle Me lists property's not for sale

Listing properties not for sale is the drive behind a new online initiative called Tickle Me. 

Tickle Me has been launched on the commercial property website FindSpace, and  aims at allowing property investors and real estate firms to unofficially list a property that is not actually on the market but if a good offer was made it could.
 “We were approached by a number of property investors and real estate firms to see if there was a way to list a property ‘unofficially’ that was not on the market, yet if someone put forward a good offer it could be,” FindSpace Director, Justin Ryan said.

“There was no way of looking at a property’s potential to gauge interest but hiding the fact that it might be for sale.  The idea encapsulates the idea that ‘everything is for sale, at the right price’ which is never more true than with commercial property.”

Tickle Me has a user loading all the details about their property; its address, size and location, but the site hides its street address and contact details of the owner. There are no photos allowed and no Google Map options either. This way the property is on the market and if there is interest an e-mail can be sent to the owner and the process moves from there.

“Property Investors are always open to offers, and many Real Estate firms hold ‘off the books’ listings on behalf of clients.  This new option should allow a useful avenue for both to market their properties”, Ryan said.
