How It Works

From Data to Deals in 3 Steps

1

Scan Public Data

We continuously monitor permits, liens, code violations, ownership transfers, and other public signals across thousands of properties.

2

Identify Likely Sellers

Our algorithms score each property for sale probability based on signal clusters — flagging buildings likely to trade in the next 6–12 months.

3

Deliver Curated Leads

Every week you receive a curated list of high-confidence opportunities straight to your inbox, ready for outreach.

Our Data Signals

What We Monitor to Find Off-Market Deals

We aggregate and cross-reference six categories of public data to build a predictive score for each property.

Tax Delinquency

Properties with unpaid taxes for 2+ years signal distressed owners likely to sell at a discount.

Code Violations

Open building code cases and repeated violations indicate owners unable or unwilling to maintain the property.

Probate & Estate Filings

Inherited properties often sell quickly — heirs may not want to manage a building across the country.

Ownership Transfers

LLC dissolutions, divorce filings, and corporate changes often precede a sale.

Permit Activity

Expired permits or halted construction projects point to abandoned plans and motivated sellers.

Absentee Owners

Out-of-state or out-of-country owners are statistically more likely to sell than local owner-occupants.

Our Approach

How We Identify Off-Market Properties for You

Finding truly off-market deals requires more than scanning listings. We systematically mine public data to surface properties whose owners are likely to sell — before they ever list.

01

Aggregate Public Records

We pull data daily from county assessors, courts, permit offices, and code enforcement agencies across your target markets. Every lien filing, probate case, and ownership change is captured.

02

Cross-Reference & Cluster Signals

A single red flag rarely means a sale is coming. We look for signal clusters — e.g., an absentee owner with tax delinquency AND open code violations — that together predict motivation to sell.

03

Score & Rank Properties

Each property receives a Propensity-to-Sell score from 0–100 based on the number, severity, and recency of its signals. Only properties above your threshold make it into your lead list.

04

Enrich with Contact & Ownership Data

We append owner names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and entity details so you can reach the decision-maker directly — no middleman, no bidding war.
