About the free Motivated Seller Score

Sellers who need to move often leave clues on their listing: a long time on the market, price reductions, a vacant property or a reason for sale such as probate or relocation.

This free tool scores how motivated a seller looks, from 0 to 100, from the signals you can see. It is a way to prioritise which leads to look at first, not a prediction of what a seller will accept.

Signals the score looks at

Time on the marketLonger than similar homes nearby
Price reductionsHow many, and how large
SituationVacant, chain-free, probate, relocation or similar
Listing historyRelisted, or with a different agent

Motivated seller questions

What makes a seller motivated?

Usually a reason to sell by a certain time: a job move, an inherited property, a relationship change, a property that is costing money while empty, or one that has struggled to sell. These often show up as time on the market and price cuts.

How do you spot a motivated seller on a listing?

Common signs are a listing that has been live longer than similar homes nearby, one or more price reductions, words such as chain-free or vacant, and a property that has been relisted with another agent.

Does a high score mean the seller will accept a low offer?

No. The score only shows how many motivation signals are visible. Whether an offer is accepted depends on the seller’s own situation and the property’s value, so a fair offer backed by comparables is common practice.

Is this free tool linked to live listings?

No. You add the details you can see on a listing yourself, and the score is worked out in your browser.
