Goliath Data, trusted by over 11,000 real estate operators across the U.S., leverages AI and seller intent signals to identify and categorize sellers into distinct archetypes. This categorization helps real estate professionals tailor their strategies to engage effectively with potential sellers. Here, we explore the five common seller archetypes identified by Goliath Data.

1. The Motivated Seller

Motivated sellers are those who are eager to sell their properties quickly. Goliath Data's advanced filtering capabilities allow users to identify these sellers by tracking life and behavioral signals, such as job changes, marriages, or divorces. This archetype is often characterized by a high Seller Intent Score, which can be filtered to prioritize leads effectively.

Distressed sellers are often facing financial difficulties and may be looking to offload their properties to alleviate financial burdens.
