How to Build a Cash Buyers List (Step-by-Step Guide for Wholesalers)

Why a Cash Buyers List is Your Wholesale Lifeline

If you’re wholesaling real estate without a cash buyers list, you’re gambling with your exit strategy.

Imagine locking up a property at 60% ARV… and then scrambling to find a buyer. You lose credibility, time, and possibly the deal. A well-built list helps you sell faster, negotiate better, and close consistently.

And thanks to tools like REsimpli, building that list has never been easier or smarter.

Step 1: Choose Your List Building Method

There are 4 core methods:

1. Pull from Public Records – Use county records to find buyers who’ve purchased properties for cash.
   
2. Use a CRM with List Tools – Platforms like REsimpli let you filter by last sale date, equity, zip code, and property type.
   
3. Scrape Online Sources – Facebook groups, Craigslist, and Zillow can reveal active investors.
   
4. Network & Referrals – Events, meetups, and even your title company can refer serious buyers.
   

REsimpli’s List Builder now allows you to **create lists based on:

• Years of ownership
  
• Absentee status
  
• Equity %
  
• Zip code
  
• Number of beds/baths**
  

It’s like BatchLeads, but built into your CRM; no need to bounce between tools.

Step 2: Qualify Your Buyers

Not all cash buyers are equal. Look for:

• Recent purchase activity (within 6–12 months)
  
• Buying power (can they close in 7–14 days?)
  
• Niche preference (e.g., fix & flip vs. buy & hold)
  
• Areas of interest (zip code or county)
  

REsimpli tracks how often buyers open your emails, reply to texts, or view your property links, making it easier to score and prioritize them.

Step 3: Verify They’re Legit

Ask your potential buyers:

• “How many deals have you done in the past year?”
  
• “How quickly can you close?”
  
• “Do you work with a specific title company?”
  
• “Can you provide proof of funds?”
  

REsimpli lets you store proof of funds, notes, and communication history under each buyer profile, so you’re never guessing again.

Step 4: Organize and Segment the List

This is where most investors drop the ball.

Don’t just dump names into a spreadsheet. Categorize buyers by:

• Property type
  
• Zip code preference
  
• Budget range
  
• Strategy (rental, flip, land)
  

With REsimpli, you can tag buyers, apply filters, and even launch drip campaigns based on behavior. (Example: “Send new multifamily leads to buyers tagged ‘4+ Units – Ohio.’”)

Step 5: Nurture With Value

A buyer’s list isn’t a trophy. It’s a tool.

Here’s how to keep it sharp:

• Send consistent deal alerts via SMS/email
  
• Share market insights (e.g., rental comps, ROI)
  
• Ask for feedback: “What’s your ideal deal right now?”
  

Using REsimpli’s automated follow-up campaigns, you can set it once and let AI handle the check-ins so you only talk to hot, ready-to-close buyers.

Step 6: Keep It Fresh

Every quarter, ask:

• “Who bought it?”
  
• “Who ghosted?”
  
• “Who needs a reactivation campaign?”
  

Remove inactive buyers and double down on your top 20%.

REsimpli even shows you the most responsive and highest-converting buyers, and no manual tracking is needed.
