Plotline.directory is a two-sided marketplace that connects motivated sellers of off-market real estate with verified, proof-of-funds cash investors. Sellers list in 3 minutes; investors set a Buy Box and get matched in real time.
It costs $99 to publish a listing on Plotline.directory. The listing fee covers ARV valuation, identity verification, and exposure to our pool of vetted investors. The fee is non-refundable to deter spam listings.
Investors pay a monthly membership starting at the Basic tier. Browsing is gated for members only. There are no per-bid fees and no exclusivity contracts.
Yes — Plotline.directory earns a 10% commission only when a deal actually closes. Commission is invoiced off-platform and is paid by the buyer at closing. Sellers never pay commission.
Cash off-market deals on Plotline.directory typically close in 7 to 21 days. The average is 14 days. Speed is one of the main reasons sellers choose off-market over the MLS.
We pull a live AVM (automated valuation model) plus comparable sales data from RentCast the moment you enter your address. Your cash range is typically 65–75% of After Repair Value (ARV) minus repair estimates.
No. Off-market cash buyers purchase properties as-is. You don't need to clean, stage, or repair anything. Disclose known issues honestly and let the buyer handle the rest.
Yes. Plotline.directory supports residential homes, vacant land, multi-family, and commercial property. Toggle the property type when you create your listing.
Every bidder on Plotline.directory passes identity verification and uploads proof of funds before they can place a single bid. Bad actors are removed permanently.
You're never obligated to accept any offer. Multiple investors compete in real time, so you almost always have at least 2–3 bids to compare. If none meet your number, you can relist or take the property to the MLS.
A licensed title or escrow company handles the contract, title search, deed transfer, and disbursement of funds. Plotline.directory does not draft contracts or provide legal advice — we connect the parties and broker the close.
Membership fees and the $99 listing fee are processed securely through Paddle, a global merchant of record. Closing funds wire directly from the title company to the seller.
The property is locked to 'under contract' status; other pending bids stay visible but cannot win unless the accepted buyer falls through. Earnest money goes into escrow and the title company opens the file.
Yes. Republishing a draft requires a fresh $99 listing fee — this keeps stale inventory off the marketplace.
Yes in most U.S. states. A handful of states (Illinois, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania) now require a real estate license for repeat wholesalers. Plotline.directory operates as a marketplace, not as a wholesaler — sellers and buyers transact directly.
The MLS and Zillow are public, retail-buyer marketplaces optimized for maximum price over time. Plotline.directory is a private, investor-only marketplace optimized for speed, certainty, and as-is sales. We complement the MLS; we don't replace it.
Nationwide across the United States. There's no geographic restriction on sellers listing or investors bidding.
