Fun way to find Motivated Sellers

I came across a pretty cool way to find motivated sells yesterday and thought. I would share.  Not so much as new but putting a New spin on it.  I was told to look around for garage sales and if you see appliances on for sale that it may be a good sign that they are moving out or are disgruntled tenets.  Ether way the home owner may want to sell the property.  So whats a new spin on this.  Will here it is.  I was looking for a new desk and it was a Tuesday night.  We went everywhere and could not find one. So online I went.  

Apps such as 5mile and other online selling platforms such as facebook and other market places and BOOM it hit me.  

I went to pick up the desk from a guy about 20 min. from me and sure enough he was moving out due to have to relocate to help a family member out and needed to sell his house.  

So check out the virtual garage sales and see if you find some good leads.  Call and ask for what ever product they are sell but steer the conversation to why they are trying to get rid of the larger items.   

Products to looking for that might indicate housing moves: couches, tvs, beds, cars, refrigerators.
