How I Stopped Wasting Hours Hunting For Real Estate Leads

Enter: REsimpli’s List Pulling

REsimpli flipped the script. Their List Pulling feature is built directly into the CRM, so you don’t have to Frankenstein five tools together. It’s fast, it’s easy, and get this: It actually pulls valid data.

Instead of hunting around, I just pop into REsimpli; select my city, ZIP code, or county; draw a slight shape on the map like I’m playing with Microsoft Paint; and boom: data.

Not just “here’s 500 addresses and good luck” data. I’m talking:

• Absentee-owned
• High equity
• Vacant properties
• Years of ownership
• Property type, square footage, and beds/baths
• Even cash buyers

I can build a sniper-level lead list without leaving the dashboard, and it has helped me close several deals already.

One lead came from a tired landlord in Georgia who hadn’t stepped foot in their rental in 12 years. Another was a vacant, inherited property that had never even been listed. 

These aren’t your recycled MLS leftovers. These are off-market, often off-radar, and they’re the kind of leads that respond well to a thoughtful mailer or a well-timed text.

The “Auto-List Builder” Is Where It Gets Wild

Okay, this part felt like cheating the first time I used it. Once you’ve dialed in your filters, like absentee owners with 40%+ equity in a specific ZIP code, you can save that search. Next time? Just click your saved filter, and boom: REsimpli pulls up the latest list without having to retype a thing.

Even better, it won’t pull in duplicate records. If you already added 500 records a few months ago and now there are 510, it only adds the 10 new ones: no messy overlaps, no wasted marketing.

Stack, Export, or Market—Your Call

Once I have a list, I either export it for direct mail or stack it inside REsimpli with other lists (tax delinquent, probate, etc.). That’s where things start to click for any real estate investor. You begin to see overlap between motivated seller lists; those are your golden leads. I’ve closed multiple deals just by stacking and narrowing down the overlap between high-equity and absentee owners in specific ZIP codes.

Pro tip: If someone appears on three different distressed lists, don’t just walk—run to them.

Final Thoughts

If you’re still building lists manually, I’ve been there, and I don’t miss it. REsimpli’s List Pulling feature changed everything for me. It took the chaos out of lead gen and let me focus on what actually drives deals: having real conversations with motivated sellers.

So if you’re tired of chasing down data and ready to let technology work for you, give REsimpli a shot. Your next deal could be sitting on a list that was auto-built while you were catching up on Netflix.
