Flood maps, open permits, code violations, ownership and sale history, and the public records that disappear from a glossy listing. One report, pulled fresh from authoritative sources, before you sign.
Buyer-paid. No referral fees. No seller incentives. We have no reason to soften what we find.

What's in your report
Public records most listings leave out
FEMA, county recorders, state offender registries, EPA, and municipal open data - synthesized at the time of your request, every claim linked to its source.
Property
Property Details
Beds, baths, sqft, lot size, year built. Builder, foundation, roof and construction details where county records have them.
Building Permits
Permit history with type, dates, fees, contractor, and project descriptions - coverage varies by jurisdiction.
Permit Integrity Check
Cross-references county sqft vs. listing vs. permitted work to flag possible unpermitted additions - as questions for diligence, never accusations.
Systems Age & Reserve
Estimated remaining life of roof, HVAC, water heater and panel from build year and permit dates, with a rough capital-reserve figure.
Property Timeline
Sales, permits, and code violations interleaved into one chronological story of the house.
What's Going Up Nearby
Recent material permits on surrounding parcels - the teardown, commercial build, or subdivision the listing won't mention.
Safety & Risk
Flood Zones & Trajectory
FEMA flood hazard zone and base flood elevation - plus whether a preliminary/pending map moves this parcel into a higher-risk zone before it's effective.
Environmental & Climate Risk

Why this exists
What your realtor probably won't mention
Most agents are paid only when the deal closes. The incentive isn't to surface the awkward stuff - it's on you to look. Here's where the gaps usually are.
The flood map quietly changed
FEMA's flood zones get revised. A house that wasn't in a special flood hazard area when the listing photos were shot can be in one now - and your lender will require flood insurance.
Permits filed and never closed
Open permits transfer to you when you close. A finished basement with an inactive permit can mean denied insurance claims later. Realtors rarely surface this.
How recently - and for how cheap - they bought
A quick flip, or a purchase price far below today's ask, is public record. The owner's buy date and the property's sale-price history show how much room there really is.
Code violations on the parcel
Open code violations are the buyer's problem after closing. Many municipalities post them; few realtors mention them.
None of this is secret - it's in public records. It's just spread across a dozen county and state systems. We pull it together so you don't have to.

Frequently asked questions
Where does the data come from?
FEMA for flood zones. County and state property records (via licensed providers like RentCast, Shovels, and ATTOM) for ownership, sales, and structure data. State sex offender registries plus a national fallback. FCC and curated provider lists for broadband. Each report links back to the underlying source so you can verify.
How long does a report take?
Most reports finish in 30-90 seconds. A few take a little longer when a data source is slow to respond - we wait on it rather than drop the section.
Can I compare properties side by side?
Yes. Buy 2 or 3 addresses in one checkout for a bundle discount and they open in a side-by-side comparison automatically. You can also pick any reports you've already run - even ones bought weeks apart - from your dashboard and compare them on one screen.
Do you cover all 50 states?
Property details, flood zones, schools, broadband, environmental & climate risk, and EPA-regulated/contaminated sites are nationwide. Crime grades are ZIP-code-level nationwide. Some sources are inherently regional and we only show them where the official data is real: sex-offender coverage varies by state, oil/gas well proximity is live for CA, TX and OH, and 311 nuisance density covers select metros. When a source isn't available for an address we omit that section rather than guess - and every report tells you which sources it hit.
Why don't you show neighbor names anymore?
We used to. We pulled the per-neighbor owner names and criminal records because consumer-grade products that index records by individual person walk a fine line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The Neighborhood Profile now gives you the useful signal - owner-occupied vs rental mix, turnover, value range - without singling out the people on the block.
How accurate is the information?
We pull from authoritative sources, but public records lag, and some fields (cell coverage, noise environment, solar potential) are modeled estimates rather than ground truth. We try to label what's measured vs estimated. Reports support your due diligence; they don't replace a home inspection, title search, or attorney.
Are you paid by realtors or sellers?
No. We take no referral fees, no commissions, no kickbacks from agents or sellers. You pay us, and that's it. That's the whole point - the report is on your side.
Can I get a refund?
If a report fails to generate or returns no data due to a technical issue on our end, we'll refund in full. Because every report has real API costs on the back end, we can't refund successfully generated reports.
Look before you sign.
One report. Pulled fresh. On your side. Not your realtor's, not the seller's, not the bank's.
