Hey team! Justin here with another high-converting list strategy—today we’re hunting expired listings, pre-foreclosures, and low-equity properties in Deal Sauce. If you’re in the No One Left Behind Challenge, this is your playbook for fast, actionable leads.


Step 1: Pulling Expired Listings

Go to Listing Information → Select "Expired"
Set Date Range (e.g., Nov 1st to present) → 579 properties in Justin’s example
Key Insight: Expireds mean no active agent—you’re calling homeowners directly!
Pro Tip: Filter by last sale date to prioritize older expireds (higher motivation).

Skip Tracing:

  • Add to Lead BucketExport or Skip Trace for owner contact info


Step 2: Pre-Foreclosure & Auction Lists

Foreclosure Section → Filter by:

  • Auction Dates (next 3 months)

  • Number of Notices Served (more notices = more urgency)
    ✅ Example: 30 pre-foreclosures found in Justin’s market

Why These Work:

  • Owners are facing deadlines → More likely to sell

  • Less competition than MLS deals


Step 3: Active Low-Equity + High-Interest Rate Targets

Mortgage Filters → Set Max Interest Rate (e.g., 5% or lower)
Combine with Low-Equity Filter → Isolate 31 properties in Justin’s search
Strategy: Owners with old low-rate mortgages may struggle with payments post-rate hikes


Justin’s Pro Tips

🔥 Save Your Searches: Reuse filters (e.g., “Expired Nov-May”) for future pulls
🔥 Exclude Active Listings: Focus only on off-market opportunities
🔥 Skip Trace Immediately: Export lists fast—time kills deals!


Your Homework

  1. Run an Expired Search in your market (last 6 months)

  2. Find Pre-Foreclosures with auctions in the next 90 days

  3. Export & Contact5 calls today = 5 deals this year!
