A wholesaling team pulls 500 new listings into Dottid AI each week, underwrites all of them, and sends offers across the full set instead of waiting to hand pick only obvious winners.

On Market Acquisition
Definition
On Market Acquisition
On market acquisition is buying properties that are already listed for sale through the MLS or another public listing channel. In practice, it means working the active inventory that everyone else can see, underwriting it fast, and making offers while the listing is live.
For acquisition teams, on market acquisition is about coverage and speed. The more listed properties you can underwrite and price correctly, the more offers you can get out, and the more chances you have to catch a real deal before someone else does. It also gives the team a repeatable intake stream, which matters when you are trying to scale offer volume without building a bigger manual process around every address.
A team will pull listed properties into its workflow, run underwriting on each one, calculate ARV, rehab, and MAO, then generate offers at volume. From there, the workflow sends those offers to listing agents, watches for replies, and surfaces the responses that need a person, like a counter, objection, or a seller who is ready to move. In Dottid AI’s operating context, this is the core rhythm of high volume acquisition: broad property intake, fast pricing, offer dispatch, response triage, and human review only where judgment matters.
An acquisitions manager uses the Dottid AI agent workflow to price active listings in bulk, send offers to listing agents, and flag only the replies that need live negotiation.
A PropTech team plugs Dottid AI’s underwriting API into its own investor app so users can submit listed property addresses and get back ARV, rehab, and MAO for on market deal analysis before offers are drafted.
How is on market acquisition different from off market acquisition?
On market acquisition works active public listings. Off market acquisition targets properties that are not broadly listed for sale. The workflow changes because on market teams usually need to move faster, price against visible competition, and push more offers through the system.
Does on market acquisition mean only the best deals get offers?
No. In a real volume workflow, the point is to cover more inventory and send more offers, then let the response data sort out what deserves human attention. If you wait to cherry pick, you lose the scale advantage that makes on market acquisition work.
Where does Dottid AI fit in this workflow?
Dottid AI supports the underwriting and offer execution flow for listed properties. Teams use it to price deals quickly, generate offers at scale, send those offers, and route incoming replies so humans only step in when judgment is needed.
