Absentee Owners

What is Absentee Owners?

Managing a property from afar can be a hassle. This play helps you find absentee owners—like out-of-state landlords or inheritors—who might be ready to sell. Reach them with a helpful, stress-free message that makes you the obvious solution to their long-distance dilemma.

The Right Audience

These owners live far away from the property they own and may be tired of dealing with distance. They’re often landlords, heirs, or former residents who haven’t yet decided to sell. Timing, stress, and changing markets can make them surprisingly open to the right approach.
Owner Occ?: No Same State?: No Listed for Sale?: No Foreclosure?: No Type: Single Family, Condominium

The Right Message

Speak directly to long-distance struggles—repairs, tenants, taxes. Show empathy, not assumptions. Offer value by helping them understand their equity, rental performance, or options for selling remotely. A calm, capable tone positions you as the right partner from miles away.

Outreach Channels

Start with direct mail that recognizes their absentee status and emphasizes simplicity. A phone call builds trust and shows you’re a pro. Email is ideal for sharing property performance or comps. Online ads can work if the audience is large enough and targeted to their mailing address.
