Real Estate Leads

🏠 Real Estate Lead Machine — Scrape & Contact Property Sellers Before Anyone Else

Slug: real-estate-lead-machine Category: Real Estate / Lead Generation Powered by: Apify + Claude AI

> Input a target location. Get a ranked list of motivated property sellers — scraped from Zillow, Rightmove, and major portals — with owner contact details, market analysis, opportunity scores, and AI-generated outreach messages. Be first. Win the deal.

💥 Why Every Real Estate Pro Will Want This Skill

Real estate is a race. The agent or investor who contacts a motivated seller first wins the deal. Most pros spend hours manually browsing listings, copy-pasting into spreadsheets, then writing the same email 50 times.

This skill makes you the fastest player in every market you target.

⚙️ Full Workflow

INPUT: Target location + property type + price range + seller signals
        ↓
STEP 1 — Scrape Fresh Listings (Daily Run)
  └─ New listings posted in last 24–72 hours
  └─ Price reductions → motivated seller signal #1
  └─ Long days-on-market → motivated seller signal #2
        ↓
STEP 2 — Detect Motivated Seller Signals
  └─ 🔴 HOT: Price dropped 2+ times + 60+ days on market
  └─ 🟡 WARM: Price dropped once + 30+ days on market
  └─ 🟢 NEW: Fresh listing under 48 hours old
        ↓
STEP 3 — Property Data Enrichment
  └─ Sqft, bedrooms, year built, last sale price
  └─ Estimated current market value via comps
  └─ Neighborhood stats — avg price/sqft, avg days-on-market
        ↓
STEP 4 — Owner & Agent Contact Extraction
  └─ Agent name, phone, email (from listing)
  └─ FSBO — direct seller contact where available
  └─ Cross-reference Google for additional contact details
        ↓
STEP 5 — AI Opportunity Scoring (0–100)
  └─ Motivated signals + price vs market + location desirability
        ↓
STEP 6 — Claude AI Generates Personalized Outreach
  └─ Email referencing exact property + seller situation
  └─ SMS-length message for direct contact
  └─ Day 3 + Day 7 follow-up sequence
        ↓
OUTPUT: Ranked lead list + property data + outreach messages (CSV / JSON)
