Builder disclosure up front: this is my product.
One line of context: every GSE appraisal moves to the UAD 3.6 standard on Nov 2, review goes field-driven, and appraisers suddenly need real support behind every adjustment number.
What CompIQ does, one sentence: upload your MLS export, get regression-supported adjustments plus short per-field comments sized for the new URAR's comment boxes.
The part nobody documents — what the file needs to be:

If you're an appraiser or build for them: what would this need to fit a real UAD 3.6 workflow?

I run a small company that scores residential parcels for visible physical distress using vision AI on street-level and aerial imagery. I recently finished a study across 27,142 homes in 8 rural counties in Tennessee and Georgia, and several results went against what I expected. I am sharing the ones I think are useful whether or not you ever touch a tool like mine.
First, the scope: This is 8 rural Southeastern counties, not a national sample. "Distress" here means visible physical distress (roof, structure, windows, yard), not financial distress like tax delinquency or foreclosure. A house can look rough with a perfectly content owner who will never sell. These are estimates with real limits. With that said, three findings stood out.
If there is one thing to take from this, it is that the popular easy signals (overgrown yards, absentee flags) are the weak ones, and the honest hard part is coverage: knowing where you cannot see, and not mistaking an absence of data for an absence of distress.
A few limits worth stating plainly, since I know this crowd will ask. This is 8 rural counties in two states, so do not read national numbers into it. Visible distress is a physical signal, not a motivation signal, so pair it with ownership, tax, or life-event data before you treat any address as a lead. And vision models over-call on ambiguous cases, which is another reason we lean on the rare structural signals rather than soft ones like yards.
Happy to answer questions or run the numbers a different way if people want cuts by county or by threshold. The full write-up with the charts and methodology is here if you want the detail: https://uglyhousefinder.com/distressed-property-research/ . It is not gated, no email required.

I’m curious what everyone’s workflow looks like for staying in touch with leads, past clients, and your sphere.
Specifically:
I’m less interested in the content itself and more interested in how people have their email marketing system set up. I’d love to hear what has worked well (and what hasn’t).

A year ago I moved my site- NestingInNashville.com off WordPress after a decade of cycling through IDX plugins. I just pulled my 12-month Search Console: 64,800 clicks, 6.18M impressions on AgentLoft.com
I was at roughly 15 clicks a day before the switch — now it's closer to 150.
The part that surprised me most: a big share of my traffic is people googling specific addresses, and I regularly rank right behind Zillow — for listings that aren't mine. The platform auto-generates and cross-links property-type pages (pool homes in a ZIP, basement homes in a city) with zero setup.
I wrote up the full experience, including what I don't love and how much of the growth is the platform vs. my own weekly publishing. Not affiliated with them in any way — full disclosure on the referral mechanics is in the post. Screenshots included. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

For those of you running FB / IG ads, what type of ad are you seeing bring in decent buyers/sellers?
r/RealEstateTechnology • u/DrRealBug • 7d ago
Most real estate “matching” platforms are not really recommendation services.
They are referral businesses.
The basic model is usually:
There is nothing inherently wrong with that model. But it creates an obvious conflict: the platform is choosing from agents who participate in its commercial system—not necessarily from every agent who may be the best fit for that particular buyer, seller, property type, price range, and market.
A true recommendation service should work differently.
It should start with the customer’s specific job and analyze relevant evidence, such as:
The recommendation should come first. Any commercial relationship should be disclosed separately.
Do you know of a real estate platform that operates this way—a genuine recommendation engine rather than a compensated referral network?
I recorded a video exploring the difference and demonstrating how transaction data could be used to identify the best agent for a specific job. The link is in the first comment.
I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from people working in real estate technology: Is this distinction meaningful? What would a trustworthy recommendation product need to show?

I've been hearing more and more title abstracting services using AI to automate their searching processes, and some of them don't even have a human look over the final report. I was wondering what everyone's thought was on this, and if you trust the AI with it. I'm interested in doing this myself if people think it's reliable, because it seems like it would be a massive time save for me.

Hi, we are splitting off from a larger team and I am overwhelmed with how to choose a website and tech stack. We are with REAL Broker and will be staying with them.
We currently use FUB and would be happy to continue with this, but open to other options.
Have looked at Agent Image, it seems very expensive, but also worth it. Also spoke with Sierra, but unsure about moving forward with them bc you don't really own the website like you would with AgentImage.
I own the domain I need already but its not active anywhere.
Im not the best with tech but I am willing to learn.
TC uses A-Frame but not sure that is the best choice for a CRM.
Can any agents give me a short list of the tech stack you use?
Thank you in advance for helping me work through this!

If like me you work in commercial real estate acquisitions, site selection, or land development you've looked at hundreds, maybe thousands, of properties over your career. Not physically "looked at" - some are visited on site tours, some are in emailed flyers, some are listings or saved searches on CoStar, LoopNet, Crexi, or whatnot. The point is we "look at" lots of properties. Most of them are passed on, some of them you barely remember. But a few of them are either immediately of interest, or something you want to follow up on at some point in the future.
That is the nature of our business.
The challenge for me is a problem that nobody has solved well: How can I easily save those that I want to follow up on, and how can I quickly share the properties I am interested in with my team?
For me the specific frustrations were four things:
Storing: I needed a single place to save every property I looked at with enough detail to be useful later. Not just an address. Contacts, notes, files, URLs, zoning info, price, broker, owner, APN, coordinates. Everything attached to the property record in one place.
Categorizing: I work on multiple projects simultaneously, often with different tenants or different project types. A single property might be relevant to three different projects and I need a way to assign properties to specific projects or tenants without duplicating property details across multiple spreadsheets. Anyone who has managed acquisition pipelines knows exactly how complicated it becomes trying to coordinate updates across multiple spreadsheets.
Searching: This one matters more than people realize once they've been doing this for a few years. Often times I need to find a property I entered six months or two years ago based on whatever fragment I could remember - owner name, broker, city, zoning, a keyword from my notes, a price range, or any combination of those. The ability to search across hundreds of properties by who, what, when, where, and why is not a nice-to-have, it's the difference between valuable institutional knowledge and a folder full of forgotten spreadsheets.
Mapping: I want the ability to generate a map of all properties owned by a specific company, offered by a specific broker, or relevant to a specific project, depending on what I am searching for, and not have to export the data and import it into a Google map. Properties should display on the map as pins when zoomed out and parcel boundaries when zoomed in without having to create multiple map layers or duplicate data. Occasionally the only thing I can remember about a property is where it is located. Being able to zoom to specific location on the map to find the property is sometimes the only way I can track it down.
To solve these problems I looked at many tools: property ownership apps, project management tools, and CRMs. None of them did the trick. Ownership apps like LandVision or LandGlide are excellent for ownership research but have no easy way to save and share what you find. Project management tools like Asana or DealForce require so much data entry per record that tracking hundreds of properties becomes a part-time job. CRMs like Salesforce are contact-centric when acquisition work is fundamentally property-centric, and the real estate add-ons are expensive, complex, and still fall short on mapping and ease of use.
None of them did what I needed.
So, around 2022 I started building something that did, which became the precursor to Pics & Parcels.
It was built nights and weekends over about a year before it was functional, while I continued to acquire and develop properties during the day. The functionality is there, it works the way I want it to. I have been using it every day since it went ‘online’, updating it and adding features along the way. The UI still needs polish. But the core of the app - storing, categorizing, searching, and mapping properties at volume - works exactly as I need it to.
Just so you understand my background: before real estate I worked in enterprise software development - accounting systems, distribution systems, geographic and GIS-based market analysis applications. For P&P I wrote every line of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL in the platform. This is not a vibe-coded weekend project. I even had to update the entire mapping functionality when Microsoft replaced Bing Maps with Azure Maps, ugh. It is an application built by someone who understands both the technical requirements of the software and the daily workflow of the job.
I currently have over 3,000 properties in the app and have used it to source more than 100 development projects since I started using it. The mobile layer - GPS photo capture, automatic sign reading, field capture from your phone - is in development now and will complete the workflow from field to desk in one tool.
One important clarification: P&P is not meant to replace a full project management platform. Once a property moves into active development I use Smartsheet to handle the heavy lifting of contract timelines, due diligence, permits and approvals, engineering drawings, scheduling, and team coordination. That level of detail and workflow complexity is exactly what project management tools are built for. What I needed was the layer that comes before that - tracking and categorizing properties at volume during the site selection and acquisition phase, before a deal is even under contract. That gap is what P&P is meant to fill, and for me it has been doing exactly that.
Let me know if any of the frustrations I described sound familiar to you, Pics & Parcels was built for that.

Hi everyone,
My team and I have been working on a product, and I'd love to get some honest feedback from people in real estate, PropTech, and AI.
One thing we've noticed is that real estate professionals spend a surprising amount of time on operational work—not selling homes.
Managing documents.
Keeping track of deadlines.
Following up with multiple parties.
Organizing transaction data.
Making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
We're building YayTrack to help solve that.
Instead of trying to replace people, our goal is to use AI to handle repetitive operational tasks while keeping humans in control of the final decisions.
Some of the things we're focusing on include:
We're still early in the journey, and we're actively shaping the product.
I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts:
We're here to learn as much as we are to build.
Thanks for reading, and I'm looking forward to hearing your perspectives.

We do all kinds of deals, even foreclosures. I need to find leads, people facing foreclosures or anyone looking to sell their homes fast for cash. I want leads specifically in New England (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and new Hampshire).
Can anyone guide me the right tool or strategy to find the leads? Would be a huge favor.

One thing we’ve noticed is that it’s surprisingly common to jump between multiple websites just to verify an address or pull out details like coordinates, postal code, or administrative areas.
We ended up building a simple Reverse Address Lookup tool that does all of that in one place. Paste an address, and within a few seconds you get coordinates, postal code, city, region, country, timezone, and other location details. You can also download the results or generate a map preview if you need to share the location.
The video attached shows how it works.
If anyone here works with property data, listings, or location information, maybe it’ll save you a few clicks too. It’s free to use - no account or credit card required.

I'm both a licensed realtor and a software developer.
I built a platform to identify the best on-market flips/wholesale opportunities here in LA/OC/IE, but the data quality is becoming an issue now that I want to add AI features to see if it can help me source off-market deals.
I want to get a back-office data connection (free-ish for licensed brokers (I'll pay for it)). I would get it through my current broker, but the guy is so low tech that he doesn't understand why I want the data feed. Even when he brought me on board, it took about 2 months because he sent the paperwork via mail.
If there are any tech-forward brokers working in this space, shoot me a line. I'd love to get in touch.

How do you guys think the real estate market and technologies will change because of AI over the next few years? Are we looking at complete automation of listing marketing and lead nurture, or is it just overhyped?

Where It Began
In 2003 I was doing GIS consulting for Pathmark Supermarkets, helping them implement Anysite — a market analysis platform used to generate detailed demographic and trade area reports for potential new store sites.
Pathmark wasn't satisfied with the drive-time generators available at the time, so their analysts did it manually. They'd start at a subject property with a stopwatch and a Hagstrom paper map, drive north for two minutes, stop, mark the location, keep going — repeating the process in every direction until they had enough points to hand-draw 2, 4, 6, and 8-minute drive-time regions around each site.
If you've never heard of a Hagstrom map — think Google Maps, but paper, and you had to fold it yourself (usually unsuccessfully).
Pathmark recognized the obvious safety risk of asking analysts to monitor a stopwatch, mark a paper map, and navigate busy suburban traffic simultaneously. They asked me to automate it.
I built an app that connected a GPS unit to a laptop and polled for coordinates at timed intervals. The analyst simply drove the primary and secondary roads around each site, and the app tracked their location automatically every two minutes. The GPS data was then used to generate accurate drive-time regions that were imported directly into Anysite. Problem solved.
Then It Got Interesting
During that same period I was also working with a developer on retail site selection — touring markets and identifying potential locations for pharmacies, c-stores, banks, and supermarkets. This was well before smartphones, so we used digital cameras and — you guessed it — Hagstrom maps. We'd photograph properties and broker signs and hand-mark locations and notes directly on the map.
I kept thinking: what if I could capture my GPS location at the exact moment I took a picture? I could geo-reference every image taken during a market tour, and have a complete digital record of every site of interest that could be viewed on a map and shared with the whole team.
The solution came in the form of the Ricoh Caplio Pro G3 — a GPS camera that wrote latitude and longitude directly into each image's data. I'd take pics of the properties, download the images to my laptop, and map every location in my app. Click a point on the map, see the photo. Click the photo, see the point on the map. It worked exactly as I'd imagined.
Fast Forward
When smartphones arrived with built-in cameras and GPS, everything I needed was in one device. Apps like GPS Essentials and Conota Camera added precise location data to images, which I could display in whatever mapping tool I was using. It worked well, but was still a cobbled-together workflow. There was no real-time sharing of data and the images were either on my phone or laptop.
The next evolution of this is what we're now building with Pics & Parcels — currently in pre-release. Tour a market, photograph any property of interest, add notes, and everything is instantly available to your entire team for review and follow-up.
For those of you doing site selection and market tours today — what tools or workflows are you using in the field?

Has anyone built a viable real estate CRM? I am an agent and I own a RE proptech company.
I think I've tried 5 of them in the last 18 months and am not sold on any of them. Most of them have too many features I don't need, or it's impossible to figure out how to setup things.
If I really tried I could probably build my own but I do not have the time or energy to attempt that. I am looking for a CRM to use personally, and potentially one that we can bundle into our platform to create a more vertical operation.
If you've built something, let's chat!

Hey-
I built a free Chrome extension that captures real estate leads while you browse. One click to add to your pipeline.
FB/LI groups, Nextdoor etc. can be a goldmine for leads. Manually collecting, sorting and organizing the data is painful and time consuming.
this eliminates that and does it for you
How it works:
browse normally, it spots leads

Hey everybody! About a year and a half ago I posted here looking for beta testers for a side project called Ugly House Finder (a tool for finding off-market distressed properties). Around 55 of you signed up, a few even paid for a few months, and a bunch of the feedback I got in that thread genuinely shaped where it went. Figured I owed the sub an update, and a way to actually try it instead of just reading about it.
Back then it basically read street-level photos for signs of neglect (boarded windows, overgrown yards), pulled some public data and Census info, and spit out a single score. It's come a long way since:
This whole project got started when a wholesaler friend of mine told me he'd pay $1000 for any lead that he could turn into a deal. After learning about driving-for-dollars, I figured I needed a way to do it at scale.
Rather than just talk about it, drop your county or ZIP in the comments and I'll reply with what it finds there. Roughly how many distressed candidates, the Hot/Warm/Cold breakdown, and one example Hot property with the address blurred. A lot of areas I can turn around pretty much on the spot. I'd genuinely rather show you than tell you.
And if it nails your area, tell me. If it's way off, definitely tell me, because that's the stuff I actually want to hear. Thanks for reading!

Been building an AI platform called Iron Operative for the past few months. The idea is simple — instead of prompting ChatGPT and getting a generic answer, you deploy a custom AI operative that knows your business, your pricing, your tone, and your market.
Here's a real example of what it produced when I ran a real estate wholesale strategy for Memphis, TN:
All of that in one generation. No copy-pasting between tools, no manually writing prompts from scratch every time.
The operatives remember your business details across sessions so every output gets more personalized over time. Works for any service business — real estate, contractors, agencies, e-commerce, staffing.
Free to start at ironoperative.com. Would love feedback from this community on the approach — always looking to improve it.

You finished your market tour and found some very interesting properties. Some on the market, some potentially off-market. You've taken pics of the properties, mapped out their locations, added them to your property database and are now following up with brokers and tracking down parcel owners. Now the real detective work begins.
Finding the owner of an off-market property is one of those skills that separates good land acquisition professionals from great ones. It is part science, part art — and no two situations are exactly alike. The path from parcel to owner can range from a two-minute reverse lookup to a weeks-long paper trail through county records. Here's how I approach it, from simplest to most complex.
Start with the basics.
Pull the property ownership info from the county property appraiser (PA) website or one of the ownership lookup apps. If ownership is in an individual's name and the mailing address is a real street address — not a PO Box — a reverse address lookup may get you a direct number. I've called owners within minutes of leaving a property and some of my best conversations started exactly that way.
If ownership is an LLC or corporation, search the state business registry and look up the registered members or officers, and the company's address. Compare the property mailing address with the company address and if you have a match, reverse lookup the address and call any phone numbers from the lookup.
Here's one of my favorites.
Sometimes the LLC mailing address on the county record doesn't lead you to a person — it leads you to a real estate company. I've had this happen where the reverse lookup on the LLC address pulled up a commercial real estate firm that not only owns the subject property, but also owns several other properties in my target market. One call to the owner opened three conversations I wouldn't have otherwise found. Always follow the thread.
A word on PO Boxes and STNL properties.
PO Boxes can be a dead end for reverse lookups. Sometimes you'll get lucky by Googling the PO Box address and make contact with the owner, but more often than not it won't go anywhere. When that's all you have, a well-crafted letter to the owner at that address is often your best move. Keep it brief, professional, and specific about the property — vague letters get ignored. Sometimes I add a list of comparable sales for their review to make the letter more engaging.
Single tenant net lease properties present a different challenge. Many national tenants require tax bills be sent directly to them, so the county mailing address is that of the tenant — not the owner. If this is the case, your next stop is the County Clerk website to search for the recorded deed. The owner's address on the deed, cross-referenced with the state business directory, will likely get you to the actual owner.
When the basics don't work, dig deeper.
🔍 County Clerk Records with the County Clerk also offer other ways to find the owner beyond just the deed. Mortgages, easements, judgments, and various agreements associated with a parcel often contain contact information you won't find anywhere else.
📋 Planning & Zoning Applications typically include the owner as well as the applicant, sometimes with direct contact information — and are public record. These can be more difficult to find, but many cities and counties post application information along with their public hearing agendas. It can be time-consuming to go through this material, but it can provide some very valuable information. I once tracked down an owner through a rezoning application. I knew the attorney who represented the owner and he was able to connect me directly.
🌊 State Agency Submittals to DOTs and water management districts (WMD) or soil conservation districts can also be very valuable — site plans, wetland maps, engineering data, and owner contact information all in one place. Florida's WMDs all have searchable indices and maps of their applications. There is a link below if you want to try searching for a property.
🗺️ Search by Owner’s Address - Some County PAs and ownership databases allow you to search records by owner's mailing address. This can provide a list of other properties owned by the same entity — and by going through those other properties you may be able to make a connection back to the property you're interested in. Perhaps one of them is listed for sale or lease, and that listing can connect you to the owner or a broker who knows them.
📸 Google Street View. The imagery is typically outdated — but there may be an image of an "Available" sign that is no longer on the property. And that old sign could connect you to the owner or a broker who is able to assist you.
🏢 Tenants on the Property If there are tenants on the property, they may be able to put you in touch with the owner — but approach carefully. A tenant who feels their landlord is being pursued can get nervous fast, and a nervous tenant can become a problem. When I go this route I keep it light, never mention acquisition, and let the conversation lead naturally. Sometimes it works. Sometimes you leave it alone.
One more thing.
We're building some of this workflow into Pics & Parcels — a mobile field intelligence app for land acquisition and site selection professionals. Geo-tagged property photos with OCR capabilities, map views, and semi-automated owner lookups. But the truth is: for the more difficult situations, your own intuition, experience, and hard-earned tricks will always beat the best automation.
What are some creative ways you've tracked down property owners?
