motivated seller

Needs quick sale

A motivated seller is someone eager to sell quickly, usually because of financial pressure, relocation, or other urgent circumstances.

The term appears frequently in real estate, where it signals a seller likely to accept below-market offers or favorable terms: Look for motivated sellers if you want a deal.

The phrase often appears in advertisements as a subtle admission of desperation.
