I personally use a combination of tools.I used Coldwell Banker's web site FloridaMoves.com and set up several searches, usually by zip codes because that tends to be the most granular and that allows me to pick off various "neighbors" I want to focus on.

The majority of your motivated sellers are dysfunctional people.If they couldn't get it together to make thier payments, or to sell their house when they lost theor job, they probably aren't going to get their act together well enough to find a web site for motivated sellers.The ones you are most interested in can't even get their act togther well enough to list their property with a realtor.

Can anyone give me a sense for a) if I should get such a service; b) which companies are reputable; c) general costs per month for this type of service for someone just starting out?

Our Web business is is doing gangbusters, so it's time to get our next business up and running!

No ongoing relationship is established for a deal flow and reputation is about non-existence from a referral or goodwill basis.Now this is where it gets tricky.

Your #1 asset in this business is your reputation - don't squander it to make a few extra dollars.

But FCI has always seemed like a reputable company from the servicing side with me for the last several years I've worked with them, so I'll be interested to hear how your deal works out.

Entrust and Pensco are both good, have comprehensive services, nice web sites, etc.
