Verified history
Every report comes from real records
Nothing is guessed. If there are no records for something, we leave that part out.
City permit records
Every building permit filed for that address, with the work done, status and cost.
Repair & service permits
Electrical, plumbing and heating work recorded at that exact address.
Owner paperwork
Receipts, warranties and inspections you upload, added to the home's record.
Every search checks the city's and county's permit records — building, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, repair and maintenance work — with double-checked coverage in Austin, TX, Dallas, TX, Chicago, IL, New York, NY, San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA. Everything we show belongs to that one address — never the street, ZIP code or county.
