Real Estate Wholesaling Software to Find Off-Market Properties

Key Takeaways

• Real estate wholesaling software does three jobs: it pulls owner and property records for your area, filters them to owners with a reason to sell (pre-foreclosure, probate, tax delinquency, high equity, absentee ownership), and gives you a way to reach them.
• Six tools cover most of what wholesalers use: Goliath Data, PropStream, BatchLeads, DealMachine, REsimpli and DataSift. They differ on where the list comes from, how current it is, and how much follow-up happens inside the tool.
• Published plan prices range from $99/mo (PropStream and DealMachine entry plans) to $7,499/mo (Goliath Scale); Goliath Data starts at $1,499/mo and includes 5,000 skip traces.
• In NAR's 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, only 5% of home sales were for sale by owner and a record 91% of sellers used an agent, so off-market deals come from owners who have not yet called anyone.
• Test any tool before you commit: pull ten recent notices of default or probate filings from your county's own site, count how many each tool has, then trace 200 owners and count how many numbers reach the actual owner.

Six real estate wholesaling software tools cover most of what wholesalers use today: Goliath Data, PropStream, BatchLeads, DealMachine, REsimpli and DataSift. Each pulls owner and property records, filters them to owners with a reason to sell, and gives you a way to reach them. They differ on list source, freshness and built-in follow-up.

Goliath Data publishes this guide, and Goliath is one of the tools compared. Prices and features were checked on each company's own site on November 5, 2026, and can change.

Common seller signals include pre-foreclosure, probate, tax delinquency, high equity and absentee ownership.

Here is how each works, what it costs, and how to pick one for your buy box.

What does wholesaling software to find off-market properties actually do?

An off-market property is one the owner has not listed. That is most homes, most of the time. Only 5% of home sales were for sale by owner and a record 91% of sellers used an agent, according to the National Association of Realtors' 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers (transactions July 2024 to June 2025). So the deals a wholesaler wants are owners who have not called anyone yet, and the job is finding them before they do.

Every tool on this list does some version of the same loop:

1. Pull records for a county or zip: owner, mortgage, liens, tax status, court filings.
2. Filter for distress or motivation: a notice of default, an estate filing, back taxes, an out-of-state owner, 20 years of ownership.
3. Get contact info by skip tracing the owner.
4. Reach out by phone, text, mail or a knock on the door, and track who answered.

The differences are in steps 2 and 4. Some tools give you filters and an export button. Others keep the list, the trace and the follow-up in one place.

How do the wholesaling software tools compare?

We used five neutral criteria:

• Data freshness: how the tool says it keeps records current.
• Signal coverage: which distress and motivation signals you can filter on.
• Accuracy: whether traced numbers reach the owner. Match rates run around 99% across the market; accuracy is where tools differ.
• Outreach built in: dialer, texting, mail and CRM, or export only.
• Pricing model: flat plan, credits or per record.

1. Goliath Data

Goliath starts with the reason an owner might sell. Its seller signals come from county and court records: pre-foreclosure (notices of default and related court records), probate filings tied to a property, tax delinquency, equity and tenure, absentee ownership, and expired or withdrawn listings. Each opportunity keeps its source record, so you can see the filing behind it before you call. Refresh timing for property and distress records varies by source and market: a county that posts weekly can only be as fresh as its posting.

From there the owner record lands in Goliath's CRM. You skip trace (Goliath publishes a 99% match rate and 85% accuracy, with no charge for misses), then call from the dialer, text opted-in contacts, email, or send postcards and letters with no minimum run. David, Goliath's AI voice agent, handles calls and configured follow-up, then hands the conversation to your team with the history attached. On iPhone, you can point the camera at a house while driving for dollars and see the owner, years owned and estimated equity.

• Pricing: Ramp $1,499/mo, Growth $2,999/mo, Scale $7,499/mo, with 5,000 to 25,000 skip traces a month and 5 to 20 seats (pricing).
• Worth knowing: this is a premium price. Many tools here compete on the lowest monthly cost; Goliath's plan covers the data, the CRM and outreach tools, and setup by Goliath's team. Coverage varies by county and record type, so check your counties in a demo. Signals are reasons to look closer, not proof an owner will sell.

2. PropStream

PropStream is where many wholesalers start. It offers 165+ search filters covering property details, ownership, liens, MLS status and pre-foreclosure, plus a "Foreclosure Factor" score that predicts foreclosure risk. Plans are $99, $199 and $699 a month, with a 7-day free trial. Skip tracing runs 12 cents per contact on Essentials and 10 cents on Pro and Elite. Its strength is a lot of searchable data at a low entry price. More in our PropStream review.

3. BatchLeads

BatchLeads pairs property search ("hundreds of filters") with contact info: saved records are automatically enriched with available phone and email. Driving for dollars is built in, and you get click-to-dial, discounted direct mail on upper plans and an AI dialer add-on at $89/mo. Plans run $119/mo (Growth, 10,000 records a month), $349/mo (Professional) and $749/mo (Scale). A good fit if you want list building and tracing bundled at a set monthly volume.

4. DealMachine

DealMachine grew up as a driving-for-dollars app, and driving for dollars is included on every plan. Tag a vacant or rough-looking house on your route, pull the owner, and add it to a mail campaign. Mail is usage-based (pay-as-you-go postcards). Plans start at $99/mo. If your best deals come from your own neighborhoods, it is built for that. See also our driving for dollars app picks.

5. REsimpli

REsimpli is a CRM first. It includes list pulling, skip tracing, driving for dollars and a triple line dialer, and says every feature is on every plan. The Solo plan is $249/mo billed annually; team plans are priced by seat count. A fit for operators who want the acquisitions pipeline organized in one place and are fine bringing or pulling lists inside it.

6. DataSift (formerly REISift)

DataSift is built around list stacking. Upload your lists (tax delinquent, code violations, absentee, probate) and it finds owners who show up on several, so you work the most motivated first. Plans run $149 to $1,250 a month. Strong if you already source your own lists and want to squeeze more out of them.

What is the best CRM for wholesalers?

The best CRM for wholesalers depends on where your list comes from. REsimpli is the CRM-first pick here: it puts the acquisitions pipeline, list pulling and a triple line dialer in one place from $249/mo billed annually. DataSift fits operators who already have lists and want to stack them, from $149/mo. Goliath Data fits teams that want seller signals, skip tracing, the CRM and outreach on one record, from $1,499/mo.

PropStream is mostly export, so plan on a separate CRM if you start there. For a deeper look, see our best CRM for wholesaling comparison. If your budget is close to zero, start with our free wholesale CRM options.

What are the best apps for real estate wholesalers?

The best apps for real estate wholesalers are the ones you can use on the street. DealMachine grew up as a driving-for-dollars app, so it is the natural pick if you find deals by driving. BatchLeads and REsimpli also include driving for dollars. Goliath's iPhone app lets you point the camera at a house and see the owner, years owned and estimated equity.

Test any app on one real route before you commit. Check how fast it pulls an owner, whether the record reaches your CRM, and what happens with weak signal.

What should a beginner buy first?

A beginner should buy the cheapest tool that gets a real list in front of them, then add software only when a task becomes the bottleneck. Published entry plans here start at $99/mo. Goliath is not a beginner purchase: it starts at $1,499/mo, with no cheaper solo plan. Before you pay for anything, confirm the rules in your state, since wholesaling laws vary and some now require a license or registration.

Why is off-market inventory growing in 2026?

Distress is rising from a low base:

• Foreclosures: ATTOM counted 227,548 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings in the first half of 2026, up 21% from a year earlier. Foreclosure starts rose 18%. In August alone, 40,277 properties had filings, up 13% year over year.
• Equity is thinning: 41.1% of mortgaged homes were equity-rich in Q2 2026, down from 47.4% a year earlier, and 3.2% were seriously underwater (ATTOM).
• Vacancy: 1.3% of U.S. residential properties were vacant in Q3 2026, and 259,666 were in the foreclosure process (ATTOM).

For a wholesaler, that means more pre-foreclosure owners to reach, but also more owners with too little equity to make a deal work. Filtering on equity, not just distress, saves you calls.

How do you choose wholesaling software?

• You want the lowest entry price and will do outreach elsewhere: PropStream.
• You want list building and contact info bundled by volume: BatchLeads.
• Your deals come from driving neighborhoods: DealMachine.
• You want a CRM and dialer, and will pull lists inside it: REsimpli.
• You already buy or scrape lists and want to stack them: DataSift.
• You want seller signals from county and court records, the trace and the follow-up in one system: Goliath Data.

Freshness and accuracy differ by tool and by county, and most tools do not publish either. So test before you commit: pull ten recent notices of default or probate filings from your county's own site, check how many each tool has and how many days late, then trace 200 owners and count how many numbers reach the actual owner.
