Why Foreclosure Leads Close Deals
Foreclosure leads are the backbone of wholesale real estate in San Antonio. A homeowner facing foreclosure has a deadline they can't ignore — the auction date. That creates real motivation.
But here's the problem: by the time most foreclosure lists hit the market, every wholesaler in San Antonio has them. The homeowner has already received dozens of calls, letters, and door knocks. They're burned out and suspicious.
The solution? Get to them first.
OpenDockets delivers foreclosure leads the same day they're filed with Bexar County. While your competitors wait for their weekly list update, you're already on the phone with homeowners who haven't heard from a single investor yet.
The First-Call Advantage
- Homeowner hasn't been bombarded yet
- You're positioned as a helper, not another vulture
- More time to negotiate before auction
- Less competition on price
- Higher close rates

Check Price on AmazonTypes of Foreclosure Leads We Provide
We track every stage of the Texas foreclosure process.
Notice of Default (NOD)
The first official notice that a homeowner has fallen behind on payments. Earliest opportunity to reach them — often 60-90 days before auction.
Lis Pendens
Legal filing indicating pending litigation, often foreclosure-related. Signals the lender is taking formal action.
Notice of Trustee Sale
The property is scheduled for auction. Homeowner has 21 days minimum. High urgency — they need a solution now.
Texas Foreclosure Timeline
Understanding the timeline helps you know exactly when to reach out. See our complete Texas foreclosure timeline guide for more detail.
Missed Payment
Homeowner misses mortgage payment. Lender sends late notice.
Default Notice
After multiple missed payments, lender sends formal default notice.
Notice of Default Filed
NOD filed with county. OpenDockets captures this immediately.
Notice of Trustee Sale
Auction scheduled. Must be at least 21 days out. High urgency leads.
Trustee Sale
Property sold at courthouse steps. Homeowner loses the home.
Pro tip: The sweet spot is between NOD and trustee sale notice — enough urgency to motivate action, enough time to close a deal.

How to Work Foreclosure Leads
Speed and empathy close foreclosure deals.
Move Fast
Call or visit within 24-48 hours of getting the lead. The first investor to make contact has a massive advantage. Master cold calling for wholesale deals to maximize your speed.
Lead With Empathy
These homeowners are stressed. Position yourself as someone who can help them avoid foreclosure — not another person trying to profit from their situation. Learn what to say to motivated sellers to build rapport.
Know Your Numbers
Calculate ARV, repair costs, and your max offer before the conversation. Use our wholesale deal calculator and learn how to calculate ARV in San Antonio to make offers confidently.
Explain Their Options
Many homeowners don't understand they can sell before auction. Educate them on the timeline and how a quick sale can protect their credit.
Cold Calling Gear That Closes Deals

Combine With Driving for Dollars
Stack your lead sources for better results.
The best wholesalers don't rely on a single lead source. Combine your foreclosure leads with driving for dollars in San Antonio to find properties that show physical signs of distress.
When you see a property on your foreclosure list AND it has overgrown grass, boarded windows, or code violation signs — that's a highly motivated seller.
Our lead stacking feature flags owners who appear on multiple distress lists, helping you prioritize the hottest opportunities.
iOttie Dashboard Phone Mount
Hands-free GPS while you drive for dollars. One-touch mount and release. Essential for route planning.

Texas is a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning foreclosures happen faster than in judicial states. This creates urgency for homeowners — and opportunity for wholesalers who can move quickly. Auctions happen on the first Tuesday of every month at the Bexar County Courthouse.
