How to Find the Sellers
You can attract highly motivated sellers, and it doesn’t take much work, either. You should be prepared for your phone to start ringing off the hook. You can have lots of luck just by placing a roadside sign that says, “We Buy Houses Fast – Cash!” Add your phone number and your website and you have a great form of advertising with little money. To attract the sellers you are looking for, place an ad. This seems to be the simplest way to find sellers but there are other ways too.
Sample ads to drive sellers to your door:
We Buy Houses For Cash
- Want to avoid the timely hassle of listing your house with a realtor?
- Going through a divorce?
- Going through an estate settlement or probate?
- House is too run down to put on the market?
- House been on the market for too long and you want to sell now?
- Need cash in a hurry?
- Inherited a house you do not want?

Having a hard time selling your property? Has your home been listed and the listing has expired? Need to sell your property fast? Do you owe more than the house is worth?

Regardless of how you do it, get the word out that:
- You buy houses
- Buy them for cash
- You can make a deal happen quickly
By telling people that you can do these things for them, you’ll have all kinds of sellers seeking YOU out.
Not only can you find sellers by placing an ad, you can also look at the ads already placed!
Homeowners on the brink of foreclosure, landlords who can’t take another day of torture, and people who desperately need to move or already have an empty house they’re paying for – they’ll all want to talk to you.
In the beginning, these people can be found in your local paper. Look for “For Sale” or “For Rent” ads. Calling on those ads will help you get started in the beginning. Sure, other people are calling about them as well, but if you follow my script, you’ll find you’ll have better success than others.
All of these people are under stress and just want to move their houses. By showing them you can help them, you shouldn’t have a problem getting people to sell you their houses and make money in the process.
Using the Street Smart System will not only guide you in how to negotiate these deals but you can also find ways to scout out “no competition” deals. I do business in Atlanta, where it seems there’s a sign on every street pole about people who buy houses. My competition is pretty stiff, but over the years, I’ve refined my system to basically eliminate the competition. You can learn how to do this too!
It’s all about working On your business and not In your business. Finding and negotiating No Competition deals will not only make you successful but you’ll also be helping people along the way.
Now that you have found your sellers, do you know how you can turn them into your source of funding? The next article will shed some light on the subject.
Here’s to your success!
