What types of deals can be posted?
PlumDeals supports four commercial transaction categories: (1) Commercial Real Estate (CRE) acquisitions and dispositions across 15 asset classes, (2) Business Acquisitions & M&A underwritten on SDE and EBITDA, (3) Commercial Leasing for landlords (lease-offering) and corporate tenants or tenant-rep brokers (lease-seeking) across NNN, Modified, and Gross structures, and (4) Hybrid Transactions including corporate sale-leasebacks and business sales with real estate bundled or optional.
How does confidential commercial leasing work on the platform?
PlumDeals enables discreet commercial leasing without broadcasting vacancies on public boards. Landlords market space confidentially by specifying square footage, target rent/SF, clear heights, and lease structures without public vacancy stigma. Corporate tenants and tenant-rep advisors input space requirements and budget hurdles to match directly with compatible off-market landlord inventory.
Can I post hybrid transactions, such as sale-leasebacks or business sales with real property?
Yes. The platform natively accommodates hybrid mandates: corporate sale-leasebacks where owner-occupants divest fee-simple property paired with long-term lease terms, and business sales where commercial real estate is bundled, optional, or structured under a separate lease agreement.
How long can I keep my deal mandates and buy-boxes active?
Deal mandates and buy-boxes stay active as long as you choose. You can pause, archive, or close an active mandate or acquisition profile at any time from your deal manager.
Does the platform store any property address information?
We are strictly privacy-first. Matching occurs entirely on deal parameters, asset class, and financial metrics. Specific property addresses and sensitive details remain strictly confidential. When both parties confirm mutual interest, the system bridges them into a private, opt-in conference call where they can choose what to disclose directly.
How can I find deals that match my interests?
Define your buy box (asset type and parameters) and our matching algorithm alerts you to compatible private deals.
Can I create profiles highlighting my specific deal needs?
Yes. Build a buying profile with your criteria so sellers and brokers can surface relevant opportunities to you.
Can I search for listings on the platform?
No. PlumDeals does not support manual search or public listing feeds. Opportunities are matched behind the scenes against your defined deal parameters, preserving complete discretion for off-market transactions.
Do I need a real estate broker's license to join, and why do you verify accounts?
No—a real estate license is not required for investors, corporate acquirers, or asset owners. PlumDeals is an authenticated network connecting licensed intermediaries (commercial brokers and M&A advisors) directly with verified capital (private equity, family offices, corporate tenants, and principal investors).
We require account verification to eliminate the tire-kickers, automated scrapers, and unqualified window-shoppers that plague public listing boards. If you are an intermediary, we verify your active professional license. If you are an investor, principal buyer, or corporate tenant, we verify your commercial corporate email domain and financial criteria. This ensures that every confidential mandate match and double-blind conference call connects you with serious, fully qualified dealmakers.
Does PlumDeals guarantee a match or a deal?
No. PlumDeals is a matching engine, not a broker. We do not guarantee that any profile or plan will produce a match, an introduction, or a closed transaction.
Are all deals on PlumDeals guaranteed to be off-market?
No—PlumDeals does not guarantee that matched opportunities are exclusively off-market or will remain unlisted indefinitely. The platform accommodates both strictly confidential off-market mandates and pre-listed opportunities where owners or brokers test pricing and gauge private demand before initiating a broader public marketing campaign. Some deals may subsequently appear on public listing portals if not cleared during the private dark-pool window.
The true strategic power of using a dark pool is mathematical and direct: using metrics you define, you obtain completely unbiased matches based strictly on the quantitative criteria you specify. You can add flexible financial hurdles—such as Net Operating Income (NOI), Cap Rate, Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE), cash flow, rent per square foot, and tenant improvement allowances—to connect directly with verified deal owners whose opportunities mathematically match your mandate, free from sponsored ad bias, public bidding wars, or listing decay.
