Property Focus
Property Focus is a public records and property search service that offers in-depth property insights, transaction histories, and ownership data across the U.S.. It aggregates billions of public records into a single, easy-to-use interface to help users make informed real estate decisions.
Key Features and Services
Comprehensive Reports: Users can access detailed reports for over 160 million residential, commercial, and industrial addresses across the United States.
Detailed Information: Reports include ownership history, neighborhood information (like school ratings), financial transaction history (sale prices, mortgages, liens, foreclosures), building attributes (square footage, year built, etc.), and owner/resident contact information.
AI-Powered Analysis: The platform uses Property Focus AI™ to enhance property research, uncover additional information, and provide valuable context.
Property Monitoring: Users can set up alerts to monitor specific properties for changes in ownership, value updates, or new transactions.
Privacy: All searches are private and secure. Users can also opt-out their personal information from being displayed in search results via the Privacy Requests page.
Important Considerations
Public Records Disclaimer: While Property Focus makes accessing public records easy, the information in its reports may not be 100% accurate or current due to delays in source updates (e.g., municipalities).
Permitted Use: It is strictly prohibited by law (specifically the Fair Credit Reporting Act, FCRA) to use information from Property Focus for purposes such as tenant screening, employment decisions, or consumer credit assessments. The service is not a consumer reporting agency.
Membership Fees: The service operates on a membership basis, and accounts are charged whether the service is utilized or not, as features like report monitoring start automatically upon setup.
