Private Treaties
How to manage private treaty property sales in the Bamboo dashboard.
What is a Private Treaty?
A private treaty sale is the traditional method of selling property where the price is negotiated directly between the seller and buyer, rather than through an auction process. Bamboo supports private treaty sales alongside auctions, allowing you to manage both from a single dashboard.
The Private Treaty feature may need to be enabled for your organisation. If you don't see it in your sidebar, contact your account manager.
Viewing Private Treaties
Navigate to Private Treaty > View All in the sidebar. The list displays all your private treaty properties with their current status, pricing, and activity.

Managing Offers
When buyers submit offers on a private treaty property, you can view and manage them directly from the property detail page. This allows you to:
- Review all offers received.
- Accept or reject offers.
- Communicate with buyers through the platform.
Converting a Private Treaty
Once an offer is accepted and the sale progresses, you can update the property status to reflect the current stage of the transaction, from under offer through to sold.
