Property DNA
What's Included in a Property DNA Report?
Your Property DNA report gathers the public-record and market data most useful to anyone researching a property, organized so you can review the property's history, its current recorded status, and how it compares to nearby sales. Here is what the report typically covers.
Ownership and property history
The report identifies the current recorded owner, describes the property, and summarizes the recorded ownership and deed history available for the property, including grant deeds, recorded transfers, and any vesting details found in public records.
Liens, loans, and the recorded financial picture
The report summarizes recorded liens, judgments, deeds of trustand financing activity against the property, including loan types and approximate recorded amounts where available. This helps you understand what encumbrances may exist before you move toward escrow.
Tax, sales, and market context
The report includes property tax information from public records, recent comparable sales where available, and market context for the property's area,so you can weigh the property's recorded history against current market conditions.
Clear flags where records are incomplete
Public records are rarely perfect. Where information could not be confirmed or appears inconsistent, your report flags it and tells you the best next step to verify, so you never mistake a gap in the records for a clean record.
Informational use only
Property DNA is an informational research report compiled from public records and market sources. It is not a title search, a preliminary title report, a guarantee, title insurance, escrow, or legal advice. Data is believed reliable but is provided without warranty, and should be verified with the appropriate public authority or a licensed professional before relying on it.
