260 qualified sellers and 102 strategy calls for a Central Florida wholesaler
A cash wholesaler working Tampa, Orlando and the I-4 corridor between them wanted a steady stream of motivated sellers on a 15-minute strategy call with his acquisition team, qualified before anyone picked up the phone. AI-driven SMS outreach did the cold work, the qualifying and the booking — at scale, over about four months.
The goal
Put motivated sellers on a 15-minute strategy call with the acquisition team, qualified by the AI on four pillars — property condition, reason for selling, timeline and price expectation — so every call is a live offer conversation.

What made the leads real
- Almost 900 sellers raised their hand. Only 29% passed qualification — the other 70% were never sent and never paid for.
- 39% of qualified sellers picked a date and time with the AI themselves: 102 calls, with up to six or seven on the busiest days.
- Targeting stayed under the area median, so properties are easier to buy at a discount and easier to dispose of.
- The pipeline included an inheritance split between several siblings, a rebuild the owner couldn't finish, a seller openly in foreclosure, and one whose last buyer walked three days before closing.
- Most sellers who gave a timeline said under 30 days. Very few pushed out to six to twelve months.
- The AI sorted every lead into three groups — offer now, work it, and nurture — and tagged each by exit strategy: cash, novation or creative finance.
