There are several homeowner lists from consumer databases that can identify people likely to be ready to sell their homes.These will only be for owner occupied, as absentee owners rely on the tax bill address which is public data.Work with a list broker to get reports that could include:Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS)Seniors with Long-Time OwnershipThese lists are also quite effective in crowded markets where the Absentee Owners are already getting too many offers in their mailbox.FYI - SC isn't unique in the unavailability of Absentee Owner lists.
