Real Estate Lead Scoring Explained: How to Prioritize Leads That Actually Convert

Not all leads are equal, and if you’re treating them that way, you’re burning time and losing deals.

This is where lead scoring comes in. Instead of guessing who to call next, smart investors use REsimpli’s built-in Lead Scoring AI to let the data tell them.

What Is Lead Scoring in Real Estate?

Lead scoring is the process of ranking your seller leads based on how likely they are to convert into a deal. It combines:

• Motivation indicators (equity %, ownership length)
  
• Behavior signals (replies, clicks, call outcomes)
  
• Lead source (inbound calls often outperform cold lists)
  

With REsimpli, you don’t have to score manually; it’s AI-powered.

Key Data Points Used to Score Leads

• Equity: Higher equity usually = more flexibility in negotiations.
  
• Years of Ownership: Older ownership often = tired landlords or downsizing sellers.
  
• Response Behavior: Did they reply to your drip? Answer your call?
  
• Skip Tracing Match: Leads with valid contact info are ranked higher.
  
• Lead Source Tag: Direct mail vs. website inbound = different intent levels.

How REsimpli’s Lead Scoring AI Works

• Every lead gets a real-time score from 1 to 1-100
  
• You can view “Hot Leads” as a filter in your CRM

Best Practices for Using Lead Scoring

• Use scoring to assign follow-ups to your acquisitions team.
  
• Set triggers to alert you when a lead crosses a certain score threshold.
  

Why This Matters

Most wholesalers spend 70% of their time on leads that won’t convert. Smart investors flip that ratio by focusing on where the money is.

REsimpli makes that effortless.
