Messaging a homeowner on LinkedIn after finding their name - is this ok or bad?

[James Milton]

I use an AI tool to automatically message homeowners on LinkedIn. I get around a 10% response rate when messaging on Linkedin vs 2% on email. I just add a list of addresses and it ends up finding homeowners and messaging them for me. Last week I got 5 calls and 2 listings so it's converting. However, I'm always conscious if I'm annoying homeowners.

I usually message if their listing is withdrawn or just to introduce myself as a local agent for when they want to sell. So it's great to get passive listings.

But is it too creepy to reach out to people on their social media? I'd love your honest opinions.

Any thoughts? Or is there better social media sites to use? Or just no social media at all or regular email?

Hey @James Milton - if it works for you, why is it a bad thing? Clearly it's getting some positive responses in your market. 

What's the AI tool you're using?
