Institutional Registry Feeds vs. Legacy Lead Lists
How automated court docket indexing compares to raw clerk lists and manual record searches.
× Unfiltered Senior Liens
Traditional scrapers export raw county clerk lists without checking recorded encumbrances. Many of these properties have senior mortgage liens or municipal tax judgments that exceed the surplus balance.
Result: Time spent examining records where senior lienholders absorb all proceeds.
✓ Automated Lien Scrubbing
Our automated daily pipeline cross-references recorded judgments to remove senior mortgage foreclosures and corporate encumbrances before delivery.
Result: Pre-filtered dockets focused on individual owners and heirs with viable equity.
× Opaque Pricing & Lead Markups
Lead brokers frequently charge per-lead markups or require sales consultations before disclosing record counts and subscription pricing.
Result: High per-lead costs and delays before evaluating data quality.
✓ Transparent Flat Pricing
Published monthly and annual subscriptions starting at $249/mo with self-service billing, standard CSV/Excel downloads, REST API access, and a 14-day evaluation guarantee on annual plans.
Result: Predictable software subscriptions with no per-lead markups.
