Search Core
We get you in front of owners who were never going to list. List building, multi-channel outreach, reporting, and biweekly strategy syncs.
Get StartedThe Promise
The point is real conversations, not list churn. We engineer those conversations: targeted lists, multi-channel sequencing, deliverability, and disciplined follow-up. You take it from there.
Our Sourcing Approach
We run proprietary off-market outreach the way it actually needs to be run. Targeted and human. This tier is off-market only. It starts real conversations with owners who never planned to sell, before a banker or broker is ever involved.
Multi-channel sequences built around your acquisition criteria. Personalized at scale, delivered with care.
Physical mail that cuts through digital noise. Handwritten-style letters to owners who match your profile.
Cold calls to owners who match your profile. Real conversations that open doors.
Each tier builds on the one before it. Here's what's included at every level.

What's Included
Timeline
Real conversations don't happen on day one. Here's how the engine works in practice.
Infrastructure, contact lists, deliverability, copy, and multi-channel sequences go live. Outreach begins. Early reply data starts shaping iteration.
Owners are engaging. Qualified conversations surface and some become real opportunities. You drive every owner call.
Live deals enter LOI and diligence. Engagement deepens to match where you are in the process.
Your Role
We handle the infrastructure, list building, and outreach to get owners engaged. But when a conversation opens up, it's yours to run. That means building rapport, getting on calls, and driving the relationship toward a deal. The best results come from searchers who are actively involved and ready to move when the right opportunity surfaces.
Connect with owners before the market wakes up. Exclusive access to off-market opportunities that never hit listing pages.
Personalized, thoughtful outreach built around real relationships. Custom sequences and optional video touchpoints.
Target family-run businesses, specific industries, or geographies. Pivot when under LOI or drill into niche verticals as needed.
Instead of spending hours sorting through contact lists, managing our email infrastructure, and trying to get in front of business owners, DealBuff brings the conversations to us. It's a huge unlock.
DealBuff opened doors to local owners who actually fit our criteria. Within weeks we were having real conversations with business owners in our region.
Christi, Chris, and the team at DealBuff are a joy to work with. They are organized, professional, and communicative. Most importantly, they deliver on what they promise. I strongly recommend that any searcher looking to do direct outreach have a conversation with them.
