Vacant Properties

What is Vacant Properties?

Vacant homes aren’t just an eyesore—they’re a liability. From mounting maintenance costs to break-ins and code violations, unoccupied properties can quickly become more trouble than they’re worth. This play helps you connect with owners—often out-of-area landlords or heirs—who may be ready to offload the burden.

The Right Audience

Owners of vacant residential properties—often out-of-area landlords or heirs—who no longer occupy or maintain the home. These properties create stress, cost money, and are often unlisted simply because the owner hasn’t yet decided what to do.
