Deceased Mailing List

[Andrew Joseph]

Hello - I've been trying to improve my mailing to high equity owners who have been in there house more than 20 years. Note, I'm not looking for probate or US Lead List info. It seems like the impetus to action for many people is death (remaining spouse) so I was hoping to add an additional filter on my mailing lists of people that have recently died and their associated mailing address. Does anyone know if this list exists? It appears that Melissa's Data has a recently deceased filter but this just filters out the people I'm trying to find (trying to figure out the opposite info). Thank you for all of the help!

@Andrew Joseph - Welcome to BP! This is great community of both new, experienced and well-seasoned investors.

Since you are sophisticated enough to know about Melissa Data, I believe you're probably ready to invest in better info sources.

One way is to seek the services of either a qualified list broker or consultant that can help you find the specialized data you want from SRDS (Standard Rate and Data Service) vendors or independent sources.

Another way is to hire someone to either pull records and manually merge purge data or someone who effective at data leeching currently available online sources and manipulating the data to your specifications.

Obviously, neither option is inexpensive. I laugh when I read posts from people who want free, useful market data. The last time I went to the dealer to get a spare key for my Bentley they charged me $742 (free parking, however). If you want to ride with the big boys (and girls) it may be exponentially more expensive.
