Finding motivated sellers in your market
A probate property with a lien and an absentee owner offers more purchase context than probate alone. Compare the home’s condition, nearby sales, ownership history and the owner’s timing before making an offer. Start with properties that match your renovation budget and buyers’ needs, then ask whether the owner is interested in selling.

How to find and research motivated sellers in Florida
What makes a motivated seller lead worth pursuing?
Look for several facts pointing to the same property. Probate paired with a lien can suggest estate-related ownership and an unresolved property expense. An expired listing paired with a price reduction adds a history of trying to sell. Absentee ownership, non-homestead status and long ownership can add context to those combinations. Use the actual badges on the card, then ask about the owner’s plans: the strongest lead is a suitable home whose owner wants a solution you can offer.
Which combinations should a flipper or wholesaler research first?
A probate property with a maintenance lien, absentee ownership and long ownership deserves a different conversation from a recently withdrawn listing with a price cut. For the first, establish who is managing the home, its condition and who can agree to a sale. For the second, ask whether the home is still available, why the selling plan changed and what timing works now. Rank both against your buying area and renovation experience; more signals are useful context, not a substitute for a property that fits.
How do you price an offer on a motivated seller property?
Compare nearby closed sales of homes similar in size, age and condition. For a flip, work backward from a supported resale estimate and subtract repairs, closing costs, financing, holding costs, selling costs and your required profit. For a wholesale contract, use the repair tolerance and purchase criteria of buyers you actually know. A prior asking price, appraisal value or recorded lien amount is not the owner’s current asking price. Discuss the property and closing requirements before settling on terms.
What should you ask a potential seller?
Introduce the property you are interested in and ask whether the owner would consider selling. Ask about the home’s use, known repairs, access, their preferred timing and anyone else involved in the decision. Offer a clear next step, such as a walkthrough or a written proposal. Keep notes on what the owner says rather than treating public records as their explanation. Respect a request not to be contacted, and bring estate or lien documents to your title company early if the owner wants to proceed.
Is this list different from probate, lien and absentee leads?
The motivated seller list brings together properties with multiple qualifying seller signals. The same home can still appear in its probate, property lien and absentee-property lists, so you can research it through the category you prefer. On this page, compare all the displayed badges together. Cash buyers and recent buyers are separate audiences for finding purchasers, not reasons to classify a homeowner as a motivated seller.
How do I use the free motivated seller list?
Narrow the list to the dates and home characteristics you can work, then download the available records with your verified account. Keep one prospect record for each property in your own follow-up system and retain its different signal tags. Recheck listing status and current ownership before another outreach cycle. Use New Leads to discover newly published properties without repeating the same property across categories, and use the category lists when you want to focus on a particular type of opportunity.
