3 Best Ways to Contact Absentee Landlords

An absentee landlord is an owner who does not live in the property they own. The property could be either rented or vacant. These are not only investment properties, but includes owners who might have inherited the home but have no intention of occupying it.

An absentee landlord data list provides information about these properties and the owners themselves. Landlords who do not live on-site provide good opportunities for new listings. Even if they are not ready to sell, things can change quickly and they could be in a position to sell in the future.

 

Direct Mailers

Direct mailers are a great way to reach out to these absentee landlords. The data will include not only the subject property but the landlord’s mailing address as well. There are many direct marketing companies who can assist you with the message and handling the mailing itself. Offer the landlord something unique in service or information to grab and keep their attention.

Social Media

Social media is a great way to connect with an absentee landlord. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn provide the ability to search by name, location and zip code. Spending a little time on their profiles can provide you valuable information to help you make a more personal connection.

Phone Calls

Phone numbers are easier to find than in the past. There are websites which can provide cell and landline numbers with just basic information. Many of these are free. If you are going to make a phone call, remember to offer something of value right away. Unsolicited phone calls can be unwelcomed, so get to the point quickly and have something of substance to tell them
