The Most Popular Lists for Hyperlocal Marketing

Smart local businesses turn to hyperlocal lists to discover new customers and deals.

Direct hyperlocal marketing begins with conducting a property owner search and creating hyperlocal marketing lists. When you understand who your best potential customers are, you start by organizing them into a list.

Sometimes the new customers and deals you want to connect with can be a little elusive or not-so-obvious.

That’s why we reviewed and organized the most popular hyperlocal marketing and property information Lists that our smart local business customers make inside PropertyRadar every day.

When thinking about creating a mailing list to discover and connect with your best potential customers and deals, keep the following in mind:

  1. Popular doesn't always mean the best. The more popular a hyperlocal marketing list is, the more likely it’s being used by a competitor. All great cooks use a recipe as merely a suggestion to get creative with. Smart business owners should treat their property and owner information lists the same. These lists are a good place to start and can be refined into great lists by adding your hyperlocal insights and knowledge.
  2. Get hyperlocal for better results. Start broad and use additional criteria to narrow down the size of your list with greater precision in your hyperlocal market. By understanding your market with greater precision, you can deliver a more refined, relevant, and personal marketing message. For example, a list of 1,000 might be split into three lists by age because the way you market to someone over the age of 65 may be vastly different than how you market to someone under the age of 30.
  3. More is less...and more! The most common mistake small businesses make is marketing to larger lists with one-size-fits-all messaging. This wastes money and gets poorer results. The more detailed your hyperlocal list, the more specific. Your message or offer will be. More importantly, the more specific your message, the more it resonates with your potential customer and the better your results will be.
  4. Make small bets. Great, you found 1,000 potential new customers and made a list. Before blowing $1,000 sending each of them all a piece of direct mail collateral, try calling or connecting with them in person. Making more personal contact with your best potential customers than a mailer will allow you to validate that your assumptions are correct and test your message to be sure it’s on-point with your target client. Another option is to send just 100, then call or visit in person to see if they liked the message. Hyperlocal market research is often a backdoor into results and new business.

List Type Business Categories

Investors

Absentee Owner - One of the most popular investor lists of all time is the absentee owner list. Owners who do not reside in the property may be motivated sellers tired of dealing with tenants and the other headaches of rental or vacation property.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Absentee Owner: Out of Area - One of the most popular investor lists of all time. Owners who do not reside in the property may be motivated sellers tired of dealing with tenants and the other headaches of rental or vacation property. Owners that live out of the county are typically even more motivated as they have to travel to deal with the property.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Free & Clear Owners - Owners that do not have a lender may be willing to offer seller financing or be motivated to cash out or downsize. Can be combined with other criteria, for example, Absentee Owner.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Equity  Owners (>30% equity) - For investors looking to purchase a property at a discount, it is far easier to target only properties with sufficient equity to do so. Note that you can combine these criteria with others like Absentee Owner.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Underwater  Owners (<5% equity) - While underwater owners don't typically make sense for investors, there are some advanced investing techniques where investors buy homes "subject to" for cash flow. This can benefit the owner by allowing them to move on, while benefiting the investor by letting them build a portfolio with little cash down. Caution should be used unless the purchase has lender approval given that most loans have a due on sale clause.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Cash Buyers - Owners that have recently purchased properties for all cash are potential buyers for additional deals and are typically the best prospects for flippers and wholesalers looking for ready buyers.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Trustee Sale Buyers - Investors who buy homes at the trustee sale can be fantastic potential buyers for wholesalers. Trustee sale buyers uniquely have the ability to quickly purchase homes for which they pay full in cash, without title insurance, with minimal inspections, and even with former owners or tenants still occupying the property. They may not pay as much as other cash buyers, but they have the ability to perform where others can't and are therefore valuable contacts for wholesalers.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Preforeclosure (NOD) - Owners that have received a notice of default are considered to be in "preforeclosure" and are at risk of losing their home to foreclosure if they don't bring their loan current or sell. Long considered one of the best sources of motivated sellers.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

All Foreclosures - This is the classic foreclosure mailing list shown on most "foreclosure" websites and includes properties in preforeclosure, scheduled for auction, and bank-owned.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Foreclosure Auctions (NTS) - Owners that have received a notice of trustee sale, and who have a set date on which their property is scheduled to be auctioned at a trustee sale. The sale may still be postponed or canceled, but these owners are seriously at risk of losing their homes.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Bank Owned (REO) - Bank-owned properties, also known as REOs, are typically sold at a discount as banks typically do not invest in making the properties attractive to most home buyers.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Corporate Owned - Corporate-owned single-family properties can sometimes present interesting opportunities. The owners aren't necessarily motivated sellers, however, they tend to be more dispassionate and open to deals than traditional homeowners.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Multiple Owners - Properties that have multiple owners may be motivated to sell as most informal partnerships of these types (those without a legal entity like an LLC) tend to run into trouble at various times.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Death of Joint Tenant - Properties where a joint tenant owner has passed away, leaving the property to the remaining owner. The remaining owner may be motivated to sell, either to downsize or to get a fresh start in another property. Note that ownership may have changed since the DOJT was recorded, so you should check the Transaction History to determine if the DOJT was the most recent transfer.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

HAMP Loan Mods - Most properties that entered foreclosure in 2009 and 2010 and did not end up being sold at a foreclosure auction or in a short sale were saved by a HAMP loan mod. The loan mods of that era had two things in common - 1) they didn't include a reduction in principle, and 2) they had payments that reset 5 years out. Anyone with these loan mods is now struggling under significantly higher payments and may be very motivated to sell.

Realtor

Geographic Farm - Your geographic farm is your core marketing list where you use our location criteria to define the market you serve. Whether it is one or more cities or zip codes, specific subdivisions, entire counties, or a hand-drawn polygon, this should be the first list you create. We recommend creating this list first, then copying it to create new segmented lists within this area to better target your marketing messages. We target off-market properties and exclude listed properties as they are already represented.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Just Listed / Just Sold - One of the longest-standing marketing techniques that continues to work well. The key to this list is to ALSO use our Radius or Polygon criteria under Location  > Map to identify neighboring owners of your recent listings and sales. Make one list for each property you list for sale. Then use this list to mail a Just Listed flyer or postcard when you list the property, and then a Just Sold flyer or postcard when you sell the property. There is no better tool for establishing yourself as an agent with local experience than this simple technique. Add these criteria to exclude listed and in foreclosure properties as they are unlikely to be good listings.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

First-Time Buyers - You can target first-time buyers by targeting non-owner-occupied properties and mailing to the site address with either "Renter", "Tenant" or "Resident" instead of the owner's name. This is essentially the same list as Absentee owners, we are just mailing to their tenant using the property address rather than to the owner using the tax bill mailing address. Note that we don't exclude properties that are listed or in foreclosure as we are marketing to the tenant, not the owner, and they may be highly motivated to find a new home in that situation.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Absentee Owner (Landlord) - One of the most popular lists of all time. Owners who do not reside in the property may be tired of dealing with tenants and the other headaches of rental or vacation property and be looking to sell or hire a property manager. We also exclude listed and in foreclosure properties as they are unlikely to be good listings.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Absentee Owner (Landlord): Out of Area - One of the most popular lists of all time. Owners who do not reside in the property may be tired of dealing with tenants and the other headaches of rental or vacation property and be looking to sell or hire a property manager. Owners that live out of the county are typically even more motivated as they have to travel to deal with the property. We also exclude listed and in foreclosure properties as they are unlikely to be good listings.
(Click here for example with your free trial)

Potential Short Sale Listings - Underwater owners may be motivated to sell and move on from their current situation, especially when approached by an experienced short sale agent that can explain the process. We also exclude listed properties as they are already represented.
