Scope, methods and delivery
The problem we address
Real estate intelligence is stuck in the MLS era. Market reports recycle the same transaction data everyone already has. What do residents actually think about the neighborhood? How do tenants feel about the management company? Meanwhile, resident sentiment, management quality, development impact and local business health are all on the public record somewhere, but scattered, and pulling them together for one neighborhood is slow work.
Our approach
We mine multi-year archives of neighborhood discussions, resident reviews, property management complaints, local business sentiment, development impact debates, and consumer behavior patterns. Our reports reveal neighborhood livability signals, property management benchmarks, investment red flags, and market opportunities that Zillow estimates and MLS data simply can't surface.
Real estate intelligence beyond MLS and Zillow
Standard real estate research stacks (MLS, Zillow, ATTOM Data) cover the listing-level mechanics of every transaction. What they don't cover well:
- Which neighborhoods show rising demand in listings, permits and local discussion
- Where permitted housing projects could add supply, checked against starts and project status
- Which competitor agents are gaining share in your market
- Where mortgage and lending complaint patterns suggest emerging issues affecting transaction velocity in specific submarkets
The data fabric for real estate CI
Engagements cross-reference:
- BLS QCEW employment data — shows employment shifts county by county, by industry
- Census Bureau housing data with metro and tract-level granularity
- CFPB mortgage and lending complaint patterns by company
- USAspending federal contract awards — reported recipients and where the work is performed, checked against company and local employment evidence before reading anything as a move
- USPTO patents — inventor, assignee and technology context for a metro's employers, read alongside employment and housing data
- Neighborhood-level discussion archive from Reddit, Nextdoor-adjacent forums, and local community platforms
What you receive
Real estate engagements deliver three product types under your brokerage brand:
- Market opportunity reports — neighborhood-level demand and pricing signal across 1-3 metros
- Competitor agent intelligence — listing share, content marketing patterns, and customer-sentiment signals on rival agents and teams
- Compliance and regulatory monitoring — Fair Housing enforcement, state real estate commissioner actions, and emerging litigation patterns affecting brokerage operations
Where this fits
This works for residential brokerages competing against KW or Compass on intelligence depth, commercial real estate firms producing client-facing market briefings, and brokerages with retainer relationships where quarterly market reviews are part of the value.
It doesn't fit single-agent operations where the research overhead exceeds the deal flow.
