Real estate agents – especially those new in the industry – are always looking for their next great listing opportunity. One often-overlooked source of high-quality seller leads is the absentee owner segment. An absentee owner is a property owner who doesn’t live in the home they own (often a rental or vacant property). Reaching these owners can unlock a goldmine of listings. At The Share Group, we help real estate professionals tap into this niche with precision, using advanced AI, national property data, and predictive analytics to deliver the most accurate absentee owner leads in the industry.

Absentee homeowners present a huge opportunity for agents. Because these owners don’t reside in their properties, they often face unique challenges and motivations that make them more inclined to sell. Maintenance costs, tenant issues, or the hassle of managing property from afar often push absentee owners toward listing.
Highly Motivated to Sell: Many absentee owners didn’t plan to be landlords. They may have relocated or inherited a home, and would sell if the conditions were right.
Less Emotional Attachment: Since they don’t live in the property, absentee owners are usually more pragmatic about pricing and terms.
Multiple Properties: Many absentee owners are investors with more than one property. Earning their trust can lead to repeat listings.
Low Competition: Compared to traditional homeowners, absentee owners are less targeted by agents, making it easier to get in front of them.
With remote work trends and changes in the rental market adding to the absentee owner pool, this segment continues to grow in 2025. The key is finding and contacting them before your competition does.
You can spend hours digging through public records to compile absentee owner lists yourself – or you can let The Share Group do the heavy lifting. We combine multiple proven data sources with proprietary AI technology to deliver the most accurate and up-to-date absentee owner leads nationwide. Here’s how we do it:
Our AI technology scrapes and compiles data from national databases including property records, tax rolls, and third-party verification services. Then, it cross-references and filters this information to ensure accuracy, coverage, and compliance. The result? You get leads that include owner name, mailing address, phone numbers (often multiple), and emails where available - with an unmatched level of precision.
We don’t just provide data - we provide insights. Our AI-driven process identifies the owners most likely to list, based on multiple property and owner data points. It’s like smart farming on autopilot.
One of the most reliable indicators of absentee ownership is when the mailing -ddress and property address don’t match. We use nationwide access to county property records and tax assessor data to flag these discrepancies and verify owner occupancy. This process allows us to find absentee owners in your specific markets with laser precision.
By automating and verifying these records at scale, we remove the guesswork and save you hours of manual research.
We incorporate title company data and recorded deeds into our process to ensure the owner listed is current and accurate. This additional layer of verification improves list quality and increases your odds of connecting with the right person - not a previous owner or LLC record without phone info.
Beyond identifying absentee ownership, we also use predictive modeling to determine which owners are most likely to sell. Our smart farming approach factors in:
Length of ownership
Rental market trends
Distance between property and owner
Property equity and valuation trends
This means we don’t just deliver names – we deliver intent signals that help you focus on the right people at the right time.
At The Share Group, we know that real estate success hinges on speed, accuracy, and connection. That’s why every lead we deliver - especially those with phone numbers - undergoes a rigorous verification process designed to help you reach real people, not voicemails or dead ends.
Live Call Detection
We use cutting-edge VoIP technology to make real-time outbound calls. This allows us to instantly detect whether a number is active, disconnected, or non-responsive - so we can remove the junk before it ever lands in your dialer.
Engagement Tracking
We monitor incoming call patterns across customer service centers nationwide, giving us powerful insights into which numbers have been used recently in live conversations. This helps us score each number’s responsiveness, increasing your odds of getting a real person on the line.
We don’t just verify - we clean. After our phone number validation process, we scrub every record against:
The National Do Not Call Registry
State-level opt-out databases
CCPA suppression files
Known litigator lists
This helps protect your business from legal risks while ensuring your outreach is ethical, compliant, and high-converting.
Most data providers sell you a list. We deliver a lead - qualified, verified, and ready for contact. When you're spending time and money on outreach, accuracy isn't a luxury - it’s a necessity.
✅ Fewer bad numbers
✅ More meaningful conversations
✅ Higher ROI on every call session
