Upwork verdict · build Solution request

Real estate wholesaler contact enrichment tool that pulls public marketplace listings, deduplicates investor profiles across platforms, and delivers verified phone and email with skip-trace fallback

Wholesaler lists are notoriously dirty and every acquisition team wastes hours deduplicating before they can even start outreach

Built for Real estate wholesalers and investment firms.

The angle

Cross-platform deduplication so buyers get one clean record per investor instead of the same contact five times with five different phone numbers

“1 day ago — ... scraper capable of bulk-extracting wholesaler contact info such as phone numbers from public marketplace listings (like InvestorLift) to ...…”

The receipts — real demand

Why this is a gap

Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.

The market

Real estate wholesalers and investment firms need bulk contact extraction from public listings. Zero monthly searches suggest this is a painful manual process, not yet a recognized product category.

Bright Data, Outscraper, Browse.ai, IGLeads.io, WebAutomation.io, and PropStream/BatchLeads already scrape real estate marketplaces (8/10 crowded). Most are horizontal scrapers or wholesaler-focused platforms; the gap is narrow and occupied.

What's hard to build

Real estate marketplaces (Zillow, Investor Lift, Compass) actively block scrapers and change HTML structure frequently. CFAA legal risk and rate-limiting by platforms make scraper maintenance a constant engineering cost. Incumbents have legal teams and established relationships; you don't.

Why now

PropStream and BatchLeads are pricey ($99–$300/mo); Bright Data and Outscraper are enterprise; no affordable wholesale scraper API for bulk extraction exists.

How you'd monetize
