The gap

A used car comes with a CARFAX. A $500,000 house comes with a photo gallery.

Every property leaves a paper trail — permits, incidents, ownership, code violations, tax history, fire calls. Who's Home™ pulls it into one clean report before you sign anything.

The gap

What Zillow doesn't tell you.

Listing sites show you the marketing. Who's Home™ shows you the paper trail — the parts a seller would rather you never see.

Every ✓ on the right is pulled from public records — permits, county filings, code enforcement, fire dispatches, tax rolls, and municipal databases.

The question no realtor answers

Why is this house really for sale?

We cross-check listing history, permit patterns, ownership shifts, and neighborhood signals to surface the real reason a home hit the market.

Price Cut Cascade

3 price reductions in 47 days — sellers are motivated.

Unfinished Permit

Neighboring Development

Commercial rezoning filed one block over.

Repeated Listings

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where does the data come from?

Public records only — municipal permit systems, fire and police incident logs, county assessors, and code enforcement databases. No private or protected data about people.

Does this replace an inspection?

No. It surfaces the paper trail so you know what to ask an inspector to look at — hidden additions, past fires, or recurring plumbing issues.

Which cities are covered?

We're live in most major US metros and expanding weekly. Enter an address to see coverage for that jurisdiction.

Is this legal?

Yes. Everything here is already public — we just make it findable. We never report information about the people living at an address, only the property itself.

How fresh is the data?

Most jurisdictions update weekly. Every report shows the last-refreshed date for each source.
