Independent operators
You have a territory and a follow-up process, and you want a queue of owners worth the time rather than a bulk list to sift.
For U.S. property managers
Obsidian helps property management companies narrow broad rental and ownership signals into reviewable owner queues, apply market-specific qualification rules, and route qualified responses when outreach is included in the written scope.
No fixed lead volume, signed-door outcome, exclusive territory right, or compliance result is promised. Scope and source coverage are confirmed before kickoff.
Commercial service
FRBO status, visible listing age, rent, property type, ownership context, and response notes can help prioritize work. They should not be turned into claims that an owner is distressed, dissatisfied, or ready to hire unless the owner says so.
Who this is for
Obsidian is built for the person responsible for owner acquisition at a U.S. property management company: an independent operator, a franchise owner, or a BDM at a multi-location team. It is not built for real-estate agents converting landlords into listing clients.
You have a territory and a follow-up process, and you want a queue of owners worth the time rather than a bulk list to sift.
You want a repeatable owner-acquisition workflow that respects your territory and your CRM configuration. Obsidian is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any franchisor.
You need consistent qualification fields and handoff records across markets so a BDM can act on a record without re-researching it.
What you receive
The same three layers are published as Starter, Growth, and Scale on the packages page. The difference between them is who does the outreach and how much of the cadence Obsidian runs.
| Layer | You receive | Outreach | Handoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intelligence only (Starter) | A defined-market queue of source-linked owner candidates with ownership and property context where available, exported for review. | Your team calls and follows up. | Export for your CRM or spreadsheet. |
| Outreach + Handoff (Growth) | Everything in Starter plus permitted enrichment, screening, and an approved outreach workflow. | Obsidian, on channels and cadence approved in writing. | Disposition, objection, and next-action records; CRM API handoff can be scoped. |
| Managed Pipeline (Scale) | Everything in Growth plus ongoing queue review, calibration, and a follow-up and QA cadence. | Obsidian runs the operating cadence. | Qualified responses routed to the assigned person or CRM. |
No fixed lead volume, appointment count, signed-door outcome, or conversion rate is promised at any layer. Channel volumes, usage allowances, and add-on prices are listed in the order form.
Workflow
Obsidian can support owner intelligence, FRBO research, enrichment, screening, outreach support, qualification, and handoff when those layers are included in the written scope.
Collect eligible public or licensed rental and owner records.
Apply market, asset type, rent band, and exclusion rules.
Resolve permitted ownership or property context.
Check source quality, suppression, and review status.
Use only approved channels and cadence.
Capture disposition, objection, interest, and timing.
Send evidence and next action to the assigned person or system.
Market fit
Obsidian is a fit when a property management company wants reviewable owner intelligence, defined territory rules, careful source handling, and accountable handoff fields. It is not a fit for teams looking for promised appointments, fabricated exclusivity, or unsupported lead-volume promises.
Service area, ZIP exclusions, property type, rent band, unit count, and known client or competitor exclusions can be applied before records reach the queue.
Records should carry the source context needed for review instead of arriving as unexplained names and numbers.
Each record should resolve to review, suppress, contact, nurture, disqualify, qualify, or route according to the agreed workflow.
Market-fit review
The market-fit review is a working session on your territory. It ends with a written scope or a clear reason not to proceed. Bring your ZIP codes or cities, property profile, rent band, exclusions, and how follow-up works today.
Service area, asset types, rent band, unit count, and exclusions are written down first.
Which public or licensed sources are eligible in your market and what fields they expose.
A realistic range for the queue, stated with its assumptions. No volume is promised.
Intelligence only, outreach and handoff, or a managed pipeline.
Which outreach channels and cadence are approved, and which are excluded.
CRM target, field map, and who owns each next action.
Deliverables, evidence retained, responsibilities, and price go into a signed order form.
