The Nest Leads chip row on a Frederick, Maryland search: Vacant, High Equity and Absentee Owner switched on, the rest of the row off, and 32 found in the results header

32 motivated sellers in the same market

Here we applied Vacant, High Equity and Absentee Owner: empty houses whose owners live somewhere else and have real equity built up. That narrows 43,480 homes to 32 owners with a reason to sell and room to negotiate.

The same Frederick, Maryland search with Vacant, High Equity and Absentee Owner switched on: the three chips lit in the Nest Leads row, the active filters listed above the results, 32 found, and the Save all 32 to my list button

The lead lists page: Import list and Create list buttons, the default lists for all properties, deal pipeline, portfolio and archive, then a list named Driving for dollars and six named for their market and Nest Leads chip, from Baltimore MD cash buyers to Frederick MD absentee owners, each with its lead count and dates

FAQ

Questions about Nest Leads

What are motivated seller indicators?

They are signs an owner is more likely than most to sell: a Pre-Foreclosure notice, unpaid taxes, a vacant house, an owner who lives out of state. Nest Leads puts 21+ of them on the search page, so you can filter any market by them.

Can I combine indicators with other filters?

Yes. Stack as many indicators as you like, then add any of the over 100 filters, like property type, equity, years owned, loan type and last sale date.

Are Nest Leads included in the $65 plan?

Yes. Every indicator comes with the one $65 a month plan and with the free 7 day trial.

How is this different from buying a lead list?

A bought list is someone else's search, and other investors may already be calling the same owners. Here you build your own list from over 150 million properties, in the markets you choose, and keep it as a list you own.

Can I skip trace the owners on my list?

Yes. Bulk skip trace the whole list at once. 500 skip traces are included every month, 25 in the trial.
