How it works

An open-source engine (the Distressed Lead Engine) pulls public county data daily, stacks properties that appear on multiple lists, scores distress 0–100, and tags the trade.

1 — The county publishes; we pull

City code-enforcement case files, county GIS layers, property-appraiser vacant rolls, fire dispatch feeds, and — through the legally-published newspaper notice route — probate, tax-deed and foreclosure-sale notices. Each county’s sources are researched individually and named on its page.

2 — The lead is built

Address or parcel, owner of record, event date, the verbatim public-record text, the source URL, a distress score, and the trade tag. Properties on two lists (say, a code violation and a vacancy) stack and score higher.

3 — Delivery

Daily CSV or webhook per county, or a spreadsheet you can open in Google Sheets. You get the new properties each morning and the running history.

What we don’t do

• We don’t scrape sites whose terms forbid it — court portals and auction platforms are handled through their legal publication routes, and we say so on the county page.
• We don’t sell phone numbers or emails. If we add skip tracing later it will be DNC-scrubbed, and clearly licensed.
• We don’t recycle leads between buyers; each county seat is exclusive territory.
