Key facts
- Small enough that you can stay in touch every month.
- Many agents start with a few hundred to a couple of thousand homes.
- Count first: Buzzlist shows the number of matching households before you reveal anyone.
- Local facts the homeowner cannot easily find: what sold on their street, how long homes took to sell, a school or zoning change.
How big should a farm be?
Small enough that you can stay in touch every month. Many agents start with a few hundred to a couple of thousand homes. Count first: Buzzlist shows the number of matching households before you reveal anyone.
Which filters help find likely sellers?
Households in the 55 to 64 and 65 and older age bands, married or not, with or without children at home, are common ways to target downsizers and growing families. These are recorded fields, so a missing value is left out, never guessed.
What should I send each month?
Local facts the homeowner cannot easily find: what sold on their street, how long homes took to sell, a school or zoning change. Keep it short. One useful note a month builds more recognition than a sales pitch.
How to build and work a farm list
- Choose the farm
One to three ZIP codes where you know prices and streets.
- Switch to Households
Set Homeowner to yes and add the ZIP codes with a 5 or 10 mile radius.
- Add one or two filters
Age range, married or children, if you focus on a certain kind of seller.
- Reveal and export
Reveal personal emails, mobiles and home addresses where available, then export to your CRM or a sheet.
- Contact every month
Same households, useful local news, a clear way to reach you.
When does Buzzlist fit, and when does it not?
It fits when
- You work a defined area.
- You want home addresses, personal emails and mobiles in one list.
- You will keep contacting the same homes for months.
It does not fit when
- You need property or loan details. Buzzlist does not have those fields.
- You want a list of people who are about to list their home. No honest list can promise that.
