What is an Absentee Homeowner?

The Absentee Homeowner List has people who own property that they don’t live in.

  • Their tax bill is sent to a different primary mailing address
  • These owners can live anywhere in the country
  • The property could be vacant, a rental or even a second home
  • By default, we eliminate company and trust-owned
Why Are Absentee Homeowners such good seller leads for your mail campaign?

Expenses add up and repairs need to be attended to. Tenants must be found, responded to and chased for rent.  This can be especially difficult when they live out of the area. Many investors aren’t prepared for the reality of managing the property.  Bills and maintenance add up and they can become quite motivated to sell.

Your letter or postcard can be just the motivation they need to sell.

Customize the Basic Absentee Owner List

  1. Geographic Area – Specify cities, zip codes or counties. We can give a breakout by zip code for your county to help you choose your area if you want.
  2. Home Market Value – Do you want the high end with potentially $MM homes as well as the very low end? or do you want to limit the range. HMV utilizes the assessed value and brings other valuation model calculations.
  3. High Equity – Loan to Value uses the full amount of their most recent total mortgages and compares to the current home market value. Unfortunately we don’t have access to mortgage balance or discharge because that is not part of the public record.
  4. Property Type – choose from single family, multifamily and condos.
  5. Purchase Date – Also known as Last Sale Date or Transfer Date. Decide if you want to specify how long they have owned the property. This will be included with your file, where available, even if you don’t specify the date.
