MLS Access

[Gareth Tomlinson]

Hey everyone,

I wholesale in CA and I recently obtained access to the MLS. I would love to hear from some of you on how this tool can be best utilized to generate leads and locate motivated sellers.

Cheers in advance :)

Congratulations @Gareth Tomlinson and welcome to BP!

You need to learn how to use the saved search features and you can set up multiple searches for keywords like "handyman special" fixer upper" "motivated seller" "needs TLC" etc and you can also search based on DOM, REOs, Price by location, expired or withdrawn listings. There's a ton of ways to search and you just need to setup the searches and have the MLS automatically email you when a property meets that criteria!

Partner up with an experienced agent to learn how to do these searches or use your realtor association's training that they usually provide. Those classes are great networking opportunities too.
