II / The problem

The lead-gen market is structurally broken.

  • 01 / Stale data

    Yesterday’s leads, sold ten times.

    RedX, Vulcan7, and Landvoice ship the same lead to every subscribing agent in their market. Whether it is a homeowner valuation, an expired listing, or a pre-foreclosure filing, by the time you dial, eight other agents have already left voicemails on it.

  • 02 / No price discovery

    Flat rates for unequal leads.

    A waterfront listing in Mount Pleasant should not cost the same as a fixer in a slow ZIP. Subscriptions and flat per-lead pricing give the agent in the hot market no way to outbid a tire-kicker for the best lead of the week.

  • 03 / Agent vs investor

    Auctions exist -- just not for you.

    PropertyLeads.com runs a real blind-bid auction -- for real-estate investors. iSpeedToLead serves wholesalers. There is no equivalent for licensed agents and listing brokers bidding on the leads they actually convert: valuations, distressed homeowners, expireds, FSBOs. Until now.


III / Inventory

Five categories of seller intent.

Expireds are the volume category. Valuations are the highest-intent leads on the market. The auction handles all five -- ordered below by intent quality, descending.

  1. 01

    Requested valuations

    Highest intent

    Homeowners who actively asked the question. Submitted via online valuation forms, broker landing pages, or portal inquiries. They are not on the market yet -- they are evaluating, which means the agent who responds with a real number gets the listing more often than not.

    Floor note Live on the floor within minutes of submission.

  2. 02

    Pre-foreclosure

    Time-sensitive

    Homeowners with a Notice of Default or lis pendens filed. Many will sell to preserve equity before the auction date. A sensitive category that requires TCPA-compliant outreach and bidder verification beyond the standard floor rules.

    Floor note Auction includes per-record opt-out tokens and a cooling-off window.

  3. 03

    Foreclosure

    Public auction stage

    Properties scheduled for sheriff-sale or trustee-sale. Brief window for short-sale representation or post-sale REO listing. Public records make the data layer easy; the ethical lane is narrow and ListingHammer enforces it at the auction layer.

    Floor note Eligible only where state law permits broker contact post-NOD.

  4. 04

    Expired, withdrawn, cancelled

    Volume category

    MLS records whose listing agreement ended without a sale. Owner is unrepresented, often relisting within thirty days. ~64,000 expireds clear US MLSs each week. The category that built RedX, Vulcan7, and Landvoice -- without the shared-data tax.

    Floor note Per-MLS rules respected for withdrawn-status eligibility.

  5. 05

    FSBO

    Selling alone

    Properties listed by the owner without an agent. Skip-traced for direct contact. Open to representation when the conversation produces a better outcome -- agents who win FSBO leads typically convert on commission negotiation, not on initial pitch.

    Floor note Available where the homeowner has not opted out of agent contact.


IV / How it works

Four moves between listing release and a closed call.


  1. 01

    Detect

    Our pipeline watches five sources at once -- MLS listing-status changes, county Notice-of-Default filings, valuation form submissions, foreclosure dockets, and FSBO portals. Skip-trace runs automatically. The lead is on the floor within minutes of the triggering event.

  2. 02

    Auction

    Brokers bid in real time against a pre-set ZIP-and-price-tier max. The auction window is short -- measured in minutes, not days -- to keep leads fresh.

  3. 03

    Award

    Highest bid wins exclusive contact rights. The data drops into the winner’s CRM (or ours, if they want it) the second the gavel falls.

  4. 04

    Outreach

    Schiller CRM is offered as a paid add-on -- fully integrated dialer, SMS, email, and compliance built around the auction outcome. Bring your own stack if you prefer.

Listing broker, Mount Pleasant SC. Charleston-area pilot partner.

“The leads hitting Charleston this week -- the valuations, the pre-foreclosures, the expireds -- will be worth six figures in commissions. The agents who win them should be the ones willing to bid for them.”


VII / Questions

Asked, answered.

Everything below is the policy on launch day. Some of it will tighten as the pilot teaches us things; we will not loosen the licensed-broker-and-agent-only bidder rule.

Who can bid on the floor?
Only verified, licensed real-estate brokers and agents. Every bidder uploads a state-issued license number on signup; the auction engine verifies it against the issuing state's regulator API before activating the account.
What lead types come up at auction?
Five categories, ordered by intent quality: requested valuations from homeowner-submitted forms, pre-foreclosure filings, foreclosure auction listings, expired/withdrawn/cancelled MLS records, and FSBO. Active listings -- including price-reduced and high-DOM inventory -- are never auctioned, in line with NAR Article 16 protections against soliciting another agent's client.
Is the contact data exclusive?
Yes. Each lead is awarded to a single highest bidder. The losing bidders never see the contact information. This is the structural difference from RedX, Vulcan7, and Landvoice, which sell the same record to every subscriber in a market.
How does the floor handle distressed leads (pre-foreclosure, foreclosure)?
Distressed categories carry additional rules. Outreach must be TCPA-compliant; per-record opt-out tokens are issued with every winning bid; a cooling-off window applies between filing date and auction availability. ListingHammer does not auction distressed leads in states where broker contact post-NOD is restricted, and we cap maximum bid escalation per lot to prevent predatory bidding patterns.
What happens if a lead turns out to be bad data?
Refund policy mirrors PropertyLeads' standard: if the contact is a wholesaler, a duplicate, off-market by award time, or the phone is disconnected, the bid is refunded automatically within 24 hours.
Do I have to use Schiller CRM?
No. The CRM is a paid add-on. Win the lead, export the contact, dial it in your own stack -- whatever you already pay for. Schiller is offered for brokers who want a one-vendor integrated outreach pipeline at the same time.
Which markets open first?
Charleston SC is the seed market in 2026. The first six to twelve brokers in the pilot cohort get founder pricing locked for life. Expansion order will follow inventory density and broker pre-commits.
