4 Ways to Use OwnerIntel

Real strategies that real estate agents and investors use every day to find listings, close deals, and stay ahead of the competition.


1. Expired & Cancelled Listings

Start every morning with a ready-to-dial list of motivated sellers.

When a listing expires or gets cancelled, that seller still wants to sell — they just need a better agent. The problem is getting their contact info before three other agents do. OwnerIntel turns your morning expired list into a fully loaded call sheet in minutes.

How to do it

  1. Pull your expired and cancelled listings. Export the property addresses from your MLS each morning as a CSV file.
  2. Upload to OwnerIntel. Log in and go to Bulk List Trace. Upload your CSV file. If you only have a few properties to look up, use Manual Searches to search them one at a time instead.
  3. Get your results. OwnerIntel processes the list and returns the owner’s name, phone numbers, email addresses, and mailing addresses for each property.
  4. Start calling. Download your enriched file from the Dashboard or view results directly. Your call sheet is ready.
ResultYou now have a fully loaded call sheet of motivated sellers before most agents have even opened their laptops.
Pro TipMake this part of your daily routine. The agent who calls first has the best opportunity of meeting with the seller.

2. Circle Prospecting

Turn one listing into three by calling every owner in the neighborhood.

When you take a listing in a community or building, the opportunity doesn’t stop at that one property. Calling 30–40 surrounding owners is how top agents dominate a neighborhood. More yard signs means more buyer calls, more credibility, and the reputation that you’re the go-to agent in that area.

How to do it

  1. Gather surrounding property addresses. You likely have access to tax records, or your title company can pull a list of owners in any neighborhood in about 5 minutes.
  2. Upload to OwnerIntel. Export those addresses into a CSV and upload via Bulk List Trace.
  3. Download your results. Get owner names, phone numbers, and emails for every surrounding property.
  4. Start calling. Let every owner in that neighborhood know you just listed nearby and see who else might be thinking about selling.
ResultOne listing turns into multiple conversations. More signs in the ground. More buyer calls. Market dominance in that neighborhood.
Pro TipIf the first number returned is the listed owner, you can typically skip the rest of the numbers on that row — you already know who to call next time through.

3. Find Off-Market Homes for Your Buyers

Show your buyers you’re working for them — even when nothing’s on the market.

Your buyer only wants to live in one specific community, but there’s nothing actively listed. Instead of waiting and hoping something comes up, pull the homeowners in that area and call them directly. This is how you find off-market deals and earn referrals for life.

How to do it

  1. Identify the target community. Pull the property addresses from tax records or your MLS map for the neighborhood your buyer wants.
  2. Upload to OwnerIntel. Use Bulk List Trace for multiple properties, or Manual Searches to look up individual homes.
  3. Review your results. OwnerIntel returns owner contact information. Review in your Dashboard or download the file.
  4. Call each owner. Let them know you have a qualified buyer looking specifically in their neighborhood.
ResultYour buyer sees you going above and beyond. You find deals nobody else even knew existed. That’s how you earn clients for life.
Pro TipEven if that home is not exactly what your buyer is looking for, you just created a potential listing for the future.

4. Distressed & Off-Market Properties

Spot an opportunity? Get the owner’s info as soon as you get back to your desk.

You’re driving through a neighborhood and see a property with an overgrown lawn, a damaged roof, or clear signs it’s been vacant. That could be your next listing, your next flip, or a quick finder’s fee. All you need is the owner’s phone number — and you can have it in seconds.

How to do it

  1. Note the property address. While you’re out, write down or save the address. When you’re back at your desk, log into OwnerIntel.
  2. Run a Manual Search. Go to Manual Searches and type in the address.
  3. Get the owner’s info. OwnerIntel returns the owner’s name, phone numbers, email, and mailing address instantly.
  4. Make the call. Pick up the phone. List it, flip it yourself, or connect it with a contractor or wholesaler for a finder’s fee.
ResultYou just turned a drive-by into a deal. One lookup. One phone call. One opportunity nobody else even saw.
Pro TipMany agents who also invest use OwnerIntel daily for exactly this. A single $0.39 lookup can lead to a listing, a flip, or a $15,000–$20,000 finder’s fee.
