Need distressed data across many counties?

County records and auction sites are messy and inconsistent, which is exactly what our managed service is built for. We build and maintain the robots for you and deliver a complete, continuously refreshed dataset across sources. Real estate groups like Ray White and RE/MAX work with us this way. Managed contracts include a 98% data-accuracy SLA, and most teams are live within 1 to 2 weeks.

Frequently asked questions

What foreclosure and auction data can I extract?

+

Common fields include address, opening bid, estimated value, auction date and type, listing status, lien amount, property details, occupancy, trustee or servicer, and case or parcel numbers. If it renders on the page, a robot can extract it into a column.

Which sites can I monitor for distressed inventory?

+

Any site you can open in a browser, including auction platforms, county sheriff-sale and tax-lien records, and bank-owned (REO) listings. There is no prebuilt robot because portals vary by county and lender, so you train a custom robot on the exact sources you use.

Can I do this without coding?

+

Yes. You train a robot by clicking the data you want on any auction or records page. The robot learns the pattern and runs on a schedule. No coding is required at any step.

How fast will I know when something new lists?

+

As fast as every minute. Monitoring re-checks your sources on your schedule, compares rows to the last run, and alerts you by email, webhook, or a fresh row in your connected sheet the moment new inventory or a new auction date appears.

Can I export the data to a spreadsheet or model?

+

Yes. Robots write rows directly to Google Sheets or Airtable on every run, and you can download CSV or JSON, pull them through the API, or load them into Snowflake, Postgres, or S3.

Can I monitor distressed inventory across many counties?

+

Bulk-run a robot across every county and source you cover, or let our managed service build and maintain the whole pipeline and deliver the dataset to you. Talk to sales to scope it.
