How Buying Works on Deals.121.us
Deals.121.us operates differently from traditional property or business listing portals. Instead of browsing public advertisements, you access opportunities shared by trusted professional consultants \u2014 each one vouched for by an existing community member. This means higher-quality leads, more reliable information, and faster transactions.
As a buyer (or a consultant representing a buyer), you can post Want listings that describe exactly what your client is looking for. The community of consultants will then review your requirements and reach out if they have a matching Offer or know of a relevant opportunity.

Shopping centres, industrial warehouses, retail spaces, office buildings, flex spaces, and mixed-use properties across the United States.

Professional Services
Access to specialised consulting services including M&A advisory, trade finance, project finance, and business valuations offered by community consultants.
Technology & Software
Software-as-a-service solutions, CRM platforms, logistics technology, and education portals available for licensing or acquisition.
Creating an Effective Want Listing
A well-crafted Want listing maximises your chances of finding the right match. Include these critical details:
- Specific property or asset type \u2014 "Industrial warehouse" is better than "commercial space." "SaaS company in healthcare" is better than "tech business."
- Size requirements \u2014 Square footage ranges for real estate, revenue ranges for businesses, user counts for software.
- Geographic preferences \u2014 Be as specific as possible. "Eastern Fairfax County" will attract better matches than "Virginia."
- Budget or price range \u2014 Include a realistic budget. The flexible price field supports exact figures, ranges, and qualifiers like "TBD" or "negotiable."
- Timeline \u2014 If your client has urgency or a specific closing window, mention it to prioritise responsive consultants.
- Special conditions \u2014 Zoning requirements, tenant mix preferences, NOI thresholds, due diligence expectations, or financing conditions.
Understanding Co-Op Fees as a Buyer
When you post a Want listing with a co-op fee (e.g., 50% of commission, or a fixed amount), you are offering a financial incentive to any consultant who brings a matching Offer. A negative co-op fee indicates that the opposite side (e.g., the seller's consultant) is expected to pay. This is standard practice in professional deal-making and significantly increases the speed and quality of matches you receive.
Co-op fees are typically paid at closing, either as a percentage of the commission earned or as a flat amount negotiated directly between the collaborating consultants. Deals.121.us provides the connection platform — the business terms are agreed between professionals.
New: Listing Lifecycle & Sharing Tools
Every listing now displays Valid From, Valid To, and Last Reviewed dates so you can see exactly how current a deal is. Listings use expanded statuses — Active, Under Offer, Under Contract, Closed, Withdrawn, and Cancelled — for full transparency on deal progress.
Your consultant can use the Presentable Listing View to send you a professional, branded presentation of any listing with their contact details in the header. This makes it easy to review opportunities your consultant has identified for you, and to contact them directly to proceed.
Consultants also have access to Private Log and Private Documents features for confidential note-keeping and file storage on each listing — ensuring thorough due diligence on your behalf.
