SellerIQ Insight

SellerIQ is a predictive prioritization score designed to help you identify which landowners are most likely to sell over time. It is built using a broad set of behavioral and contextual signals that are combined in different ways depending on the market.

Important: SellerIQ is not a guarantee of response or sale. It is intended to be used as a prioritization layer to help you focus your outreach efforts more effectively.


How SellerIQ Is Built

SellerIQ is informed by hundreds of real-world land transactions and years of deal experience. While the specific behavioral inputs and weighting are proprietary and not disclosed, the model evaluates patterns that historically align with successful land deals.

Because markets behave differently, SellerIQ distributions can vary by market. For example, in some markets, only 10–20% of records may fall into the Low SellerIQ range, while others may differ.


Understanding SellerIQ Levels

SellerIQ is grouped into three tiers:

🟒 High SellerIQ

  • Represents sellers that most closely align with land deals we’ve historically closed

  • These sellers are the most likely to sell over time

  • Ideal for users who want to optimize strictly for likelihood

🟑 Medium SellerIQ

  • Still aligns with historical deal patterns, but less strongly

  • Deals absolutely exist in this group

  • May require more touchpoints, better timing, or patience

πŸ”΄ Low SellerIQ

  • Generally represents a much more difficult sale

  • Lower alignment with historical deal behavior


Recommended: How to Use SellerIQ

Our general recommendation:

  • ❌ Exclude Low SellerIQ

  • βœ… Keep Medium + High SellerIQ

While High SellerIQ owners are the most likely to transact, Medium SellerIQ sellers can still convert with the right timing and outreach strategy. Filtering too aggressively can cause you to miss real opportunities.


Common Filtering Mistakes to Avoid

We’re seeing a few common mistakes that can reduce deal flow:

🚫 Filtering Out In-Zip or In-County Owners

This is a critical mistake.

  • Some motivated sellers live inside the same zip code or county as their land

  • Excluding them removes legitimate opportunities

  • We regularly close deals with sellers who live locally

🚫 Filtering by Years Owned

Avoid filtering based on ownership duration:

  • Highly motivated sellers can exist even if they purchased recently

  • We often close deals with sellers who have owned land for a short period of time

  • SellerIQ helps identify motivated sellers regardless of ownership length


SellerIQ as a Strategy Tool

SellerIQ should be used to:

  • Prioritize outreach

  • Allocate time and budget more effectively

  • Improve list quality without over-filtering

SellerIQ does not replace:

  • Outreach quality

  • Channel selection (mail, calls, text, etc.)

  • Timing

  • Follow-up strategy

All of these still matter.


Key Takeaways

  • SellerIQ is market-specific and behavior-driven

  • High SellerIQ = highest likelihood to sell

  • Medium SellerIQ = real opportunities with patience

  • Low SellerIQ = typically harder sales

  • Do not over-filter by location or years owned

  • Use SellerIQ as a prioritization layer, not a binary decision engine
