Verified Motivated Seller Leads

[David Masciangelo]

BP, I have to put this out there.  

I see "Verified Motivated Sellers" all over the place anymore.  What is that?   Because I've been in the Lead Generation business for years and have never seen a "Verified Motivated seller".  Their situations change, better or worse... Their thoughts on selling change, The husband changes his mind on a divorce case seller lead,  The tenant won't leave, etc. 

So what constitutes my paying hundreds or thousands of my hard earned money on a single seller lead?  You need to do the research, cold call or reach out to thousands of them one way or another to make the investment worthwhile. They simply don't exist.  Sellers are humans, with real life situations, with real emotions with real goals so what would define them as Verified?  Is there some magic website that I don't know about that legally binds them to only selling to me if I buy these things for $1.50 to $100 a pop?

I would cherry pick off the MLS, send mailers, rely on realtors or cold call lists of thousands before spending my money on one of these.

Please share your definitions of Verified Motivated Sellers so we can make this topic an interesting one.
