Property research · buyer-side due diligence

Property records, organized for your next decision.

We help buyer's agents assemble and cross-check available property information, identify gaps, and prepare questions for the appropriate professionals. You receive a source-linked packet with findings, unresolved questions, and a record of the checks performed.

What you give us, what you get back

You give us the address and what you already have — the MLS sheet, disclosures, the inspection, your walkthrough notes, what your buyer is looking for. We gather the available public record — ownership and title, zoning and permitted use, permits, environmental and site factors, valuation context, cost of ownership — and cross-check it against the listing. You get back:

the dossier — every claim labeled confirmed, reported, or couldn't determine, with its source; where sources conflict, the conflict is shown side by side and the question is routed to the right professional;
an offer memo — a terms sheet with the reasons (not a contract);
the questions to route: to title, the county recorder, the inspector, the seller's side;
an inspection checklist for the home's era, and a cost-of-ownership model;
an honest list of what we could not determine — a gap you can see is worth more than a guess you can't.

You stay the judge. We never touch the contract, never give legal, appraisal or financial advice, and we keep to the property itself — nothing about the area, schools or people, by rule.

An illustration — invented property, invented records

1420 Example Lane Illustrative

Listing says"Permitted addition, 2019." Illustrative

Records searchedBuilding permits in the local index, 2010–2026. No matching permit found in the records searched. Illustrative

How the dossier states itReported by the listing; Confirmed only that no matching permit was found in the searched range. Absence from a search is not proof of absence.

Routed questionTo the seller's side: the permit number, or the contractor and date of the work.

Record of checksThe search scope, the date, and the result are recorded with the finding. Illustrative

Every fact, search result, and record on this card is invented to show the method. Nothing here describes a real property, buyer, or search.
