Finding Motivated Sellers

Posted

Please share your success on how you find motivated sellers on a consistent basis. Where do you get your leads from? Who is the best? I'm new to Real Estate, just starting out. This has been my biggest challenge. Thanks so much!

@George B. Washington  You will find potentially motivated sellers by identifying homeowners going through some sort of a distressed situation. Lead types such as pending evictions, code violations and pre-foreclosures are a good example. In addition you might consider probates as well. Grab a camera to take pictures of documents, head to the local courthouse and you will soon see there will be a ton of leads available to you.
