New lead production

[Kayla Holbert]

So I hear alot of wholesalers on podcasts say that you have to convince the seller that you can sell faster than an agent and pay cash etc. If this is the case, I have this new idea to produce leads.

I thought of targeting homes on zillow that have been listed for at least a year, and instead of contacting the agent, trace the property and contact the owner to try to make the sale myself. Would this be rude or disrespectful in anyway? Or is this an actual method that could be used?
