Buyer lists decay quickly. People change strategies, run out of capital or simply stop answering. A smaller list of active buyers outperforms a large stale one every time.
Look at what people bought
Recent ownership patterns — repeat purchasers, investor-owned entities, cash transactions — are the strongest evidence that someone is actively buying.
Ask for the buy box
A simple hosted page where buyers tell you exactly what they want turns your list into a matching engine.
Reward responsiveness
Buyers who respond and close should hear about deals first. Over time, your list gets better on its own.
