Worried about buying a home with costly hidden issues? PropertyLens is the missing link between what the listing says and your making an offer.

First-Time Buyer

“The report revealed $15,000 in hidden repairs. Used this to negotiate $12,000 off the purchase price. Best $69 I've ever spent.”

Sarah Martinez
Property Investor

“Having data-backed insights gave us real leverage in negotiations. Saved at least 3x the report cost in repairs alone.”

“PropertyLens is not only for home buyers, it is a great tool for Realtors and their clients. It is also great for inspectors, making more efficient use of their time and production for their clients. A win for all parties involved.”

Is the biggest financial decision of your life stressing you out?

Dear Homebuyer,

Before you make your next move, ask yourself:

  • Do you lie awake wondering if the home you love is hiding thousands in repair costs?
  • Are you terrified of buying a property with flood risks, roof problems, or safety hazards the seller never disclosed?
  • Do you ever wish you could see the full truth about a home before signing anything?

If you answered yes to any of these, you are not alone.

HERE IS THE HARD TRUTH.

60% of sellers hide known problems from buyers. 77% of homebuyers face a surprise repair in the first year. The average buyer inherits $16,000 in hidden annual costs they never saw coming. And by the time you find out, you have already signed. You have already closed. It is already too late.

Meanwhile, you are sitting with questions like:

  • Why does this roof look newer than the rest of the house?
  • Why has this property changed hands 4 times in 6 years?
  • Why is the insurance premium on this home so unusually high?

These are the questions that could save you tens of thousands of dollars.

But without the right data, you will never think to ask them. The cost of NOT knowing is far greater than the cost of finding out.

The good news?

You don't need to hire private investigators or spend weeks digging for records.

“Wish I'd had this when I bought my house!”

“We should've done this when we were looking. The roots in a nearby tree had grown into the connection point. A plumber couldn't clear it but the county did from the street with the "big truck." We lucked out and had minimal damage but we'll see an issue again in a year or two. The connection point is under our paved driveway. Big expense coming in the future.”

Understanding Your Report

Our valuations are estimates based on recent sales, property characteristics, and market trends. They're useful for general guidance but shouldn't replace a professional appraisal for lending or legal purposes. Note, we also provide replacement costs data which will be the same or very close to the estimates insurance underwriters would use.

PropertyScore is our proprietary rating that combines risk exposure, neighborhood quality, property condition, and market dynamics into a single score from 300-850 — similar to a credit score. Higher is better.

We analyze data from multiple sources including event history, severity, and frequency. We model each risk using a combination of machine learning, geospatial analysis, and traditional statistical methods. Each risk is scored relative to national averages, so you can quickly see how a property compares to others.

Data availability varies by location. Some municipalities don't digitize permit records or share data publicly. We're constantly expanding our sources.

We aggregate data from over 90 sources and strive for accuracy, but errors can occur. If you find incorrect information, contact us with the details and we'll investigate.

Original data generally comes from public records, MLS listings, government databases, satellite imagery, third-party providers, internal data collection efforts, and proprietary risk models. We then do considerable work to standardize, transform, and draw insights from the data to present it in a way that is easy to understand and use.

Update frequency varies by source. Property characteristics and ownership records are updated regularly with much of our other data checked daily. Some historical data is static by nature.

No. PropertyLens provides data-driven insights about a property, but it doesn't replace a physical home inspection. We recommend using both for thorough due diligence.
