@Alecia Loveless I made 500 seller financing offers to listing agents and not one of them presented it to their seller.However, 30% of sellers are willing to finance some or all of their equity.If you want seller financing there's only one thing you need to do: Talk to the seller yourself.I don't make seller financed offers to sellers.

That’s the part that confuses some sellers:“How can my home be worth more but still take longer to sell?”

I have two stories of sellers that got out of difficult situations and think it's a huge benefit for everyone else to know about it!

Sellers received 92.1% of their list price in Austin, up from 91.3% last year, while metro sellers averaged 92.0%, compared to 92.4% in 2024.Overall, the October data reflects a stable and opportunity-rich Austin-area housing market, with seasonal slowing in sales activity, rising inventory, and consistent pricing trends as the market transitions toward year-end.Here are the October 2025 stats for Austin and the greater metro:I’m now also sharing leasing stats in my monthly updates.

As we all know we are in a buyer’s market right now and I think there’s a miscommunication happening between some listing agents and their sellers about the true state of the market.

The higher the median sales price is over the national average, the more affluent an area is; ultimately, resulting in the majority of the sellers not fitting our ideal "motivated seller" demographic. 

We are fortunate in that we have access to the MLS in our market but for deals outside of our market we use REIBlackbook to pull comparables. 

They also have a free directory and publicity program for organic exposure.Has anyone in the Triad (or similar markets) tried REB for leads?

Specifically looking to learn more about:Direct-to-seller marketing (mail, SMS, cold calling, door knocking – what works in 2025?)

The other thing with comparing these 2 would be MLS deals are easy to find, off market is not.
