How it works

Fewer calls. Better timing. Verified every week.

Most lists tell you about a foreclosure when everyone else hears about it. We built ours to show you the homes that matter first, and to drop the ones that no longer do.

01

We watch the county, every week

Official county records and property data are reviewed weekly for the filings that signal distress and the ones that resolve it.

02

Our score finds the real risk

A proprietary risk score, validated by backtesting against actual foreclosures in every county we cover, across multiple states, separates the homes most likely to reach a sale from routine activity.

03

You get a clean, current list

Map, filters and a weekly edition with owner and mailing details, exported in one click for your mail, dialer and skip-tracing tools.

First in line

Reach owners about two months before the public notice.

By the time a sale notice is published, every investor in the county is mailing the owner. Our early-warning list typically surfaces the home about three months before the sale, while the owner still has time, options and equity, and before the competition shows up.

Not another list everyone already has.

National lead platforms sell the same records to anyone who pays. By the time an owner opens the mailbox, they're holding a stack of identical letters. We cap every county so the list stays worth working.

What you get

Three kinds of motivated sellers, one weekly list.

Early warning

Before the sale

Homes our risk score flags months before any foreclosure sale. About 50 new priority homes a month in Oakland County, about 200 in Wayne and about 100 in Cuyahoga, each with the flag date and how long ago it was flagged.

  • Priority tiers
  • Long-held and absentee flags
  • Prior tax-distress history
Post-foreclosure · Michigan

In the redemption window

Every recorded sheriff's deed, not just scheduled sales that may never happen. The owner still holds title and can sell; we show the earliest likely deadline and the days left.

  • Redemption countdown
  • Possible 30-day cases flagged
  • Removed when redeemed or sold
Tax distress

Behind on property taxes

In Michigan, homes forfeited for unpaid taxes, with the date the owner loses title if nothing changes. In Ohio, homes in tax foreclosure, with a sold tax lien, or three or more years behind, refreshed weekly.

  • Verified unpaid
  • Amount and years owed (Ohio)
  • New cases marked each week

Why it pays for itself

To find about five owners headed for a sheriff's sale, you'd work roughly 180 properties the usual way. Our priority list narrows that to about 50, around 130 fewer to mail, call and skip-trace every month.

Questions

Straight answers

Where does the data come from?

Official county records and property data, combined with our own analysis and a proprietary risk score. Every lead is re-checked against later filings before each weekly edition.

How is this different from national lead platforms?

National tools typically build foreclosure lists from scheduled-sale notices, which arrive weeks before the sale and often include sales that are postponed or never happen. Our early-warning list typically surfaces homes months earlier, and our post-foreclosure list includes only homes with a recorded sheriff's deed, with Michigan's redemption window tracked as its own stage.

Does "early warning" mean the owner is in foreclosure?

No. It's a risk signal, not a default notice. Some owners catch up, refinance or sell. In our backtests, about 1 in 10 priority homes reached a sheriff's sale, roughly three times the rate of comparable homes.

How do you know the score works?

We test it against what actually happened. For every county we cover, across multiple states, we run the score on past months and count how many flagged homes later reached a sheriff's sale, compared with homes it didn't flag. Each market is tested on its own records, and in Ohio the score was also checked on months it had never seen before we offered it. We keep scoring it every month as new sales are recorded.

Is Ohio different?

Yes. Ohio forecloses through the courts, so the process takes longer and the owner's right to redeem ends when the court confirms the sale. Cuyahoga subscribers get the early-warning list, which typically flags a home about a year before the sheriff's sale, and a weekly tax-distress list: homes in tax foreclosure, with a sold tax lien, or three or more years behind on property taxes. The score was tuned for Ohio's process and then tested on months it had never seen, where it held up. There is no post-foreclosure redemption countdown in Ohio.

Do you contact homeowners or provide phone numbers?

No. We provide the data; you handle outreach under your own compliance. Our CSV is formatted for skip-tracing uploads, so you can add phone numbers with the tool you already use.

Why only five seats per county?

Because a lead worked by twenty investors isn't worth much. Each county is capped at five subscribers, so you share the list with no more than four others. Once a county is full, new subscribers join a waitlist. Want a county to yourself? Ask us about an exclusive territory.

Which counties do you cover?

Oakland, Wayne (including Detroit) and Muskegon counties in Michigan, and Cuyahoga County (including Cleveland) in Ohio, with more counties on the way. Join the waitlist for your county and we'll let you know when it opens.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, from the billing page in your account. Access continues through the end of the month you've paid for.
