Find Motivated Sellers for Wholesaling Fast

Finding motivated sellers is crucial for successful real estate wholesaling. With SCOUTRE's Property Discovery, you can efficiently identify potential leads by filtering for preforeclosures with estimated equity and out-of-state ownership. This targeted approach helps you avoid the pitfalls of outdated seller lists and maximizes your chances of closing deals.

How to Find Motivated Sellers

Using SCOUTRE, start by setting your target city and selecting single-family homes. Next, apply filters for preforeclosure status, a minimum of 40% estimated equity, and owners residing out of state. These criteria help identify properties with higher potential for motivated sellers.

Preview the match count, refine your filters, and select the properties that fit your strategy for deeper research.

Efficient Outreach

Once you've identified your leads, SCOUTRE streamlines the outreach process. You can send emails using your own templates directly from your email client. Additionally, SCOUTRE offers postcard mailing services starting at $0.50 per postcard, including print and postage. Each postcard features a unique QR code linked to a cash-offer page, which sends an instant notification when scanned by the homeowner.
