Watch one property

This is what "a signal isn't a lead" means.

Illustrative example: a property’s priority changes as supported events accumulate or resolve. A score summarizes available evidence; it does not confirm seller motivation.

Watching

Nothing yet. One record on its own means very little.

  1. Absentee ownerMailing address is out of state
  2. Long-time owner (15y+)Bought in 2004, never refinanced
  3. Tax delinquencyTwo quarters behind
  4. Property vacantUSPS and utility signals agree
  5. Pre-foreclosure filedCounty records, this morning
  6. Foreclosure curedDebt paid — the reason to call is gone

Several signals can support a review. When a foreclosure is cured, that signal loses weight. Other issues may still justify attention.

Four scores. Overall opportunity viability.

Review four dimensions alongside overall Opportunity Viability. Missing inputs are shown as unavailable. Viability is a screening aid, not a guarantee of a profitable deal.

01SellerSupported circumstances, urgency and recorded engagement.
02DealAvailable value, repair, equity and offer assumptions.
03BuyerObserved buyer activity and confirmed buy-box fit.
04ContactAvailable contact information and outreach restrictions.
Where it comes from

Supported property sources and your own business data.

Public and county recordsDeeds, mortgages, tax rolls, lien and judgment filings, probate and court records across the markets you choose.
Property and market dataOwnership, occupancy and mail-deliverability data, comparable sales, and listing status from the open market.
Your CRMYour own history with a seller — calls, offers, appointments, what they said and when they went quiet. Connected to Apex Vivus.
Your websiteReturning sellers, repeat visits to your offer page, abandoned forms. Nobody else can see this, because it is your traffic. Connected to Apex Vivus.

Available monitors depend on your territory and connected sources. Check each monitor’s coverage before enabling it. Unavailable data is shown as unavailable. A newly detected record may describe an older event because public records can arrive late. Property-data discovery and monitoring are included in your subscription. Optional contact lookup is separately billed.

The value is knowing what deserves attention.

A useful worklist explains the evidence, the relevant dates and the next step. You verify the situation and decide which opportunities to pursue.
