For listing agents and investor-agents

The listing is decided months before the sign goes up.

An estate opens holding a house. A name comes off a deed. A property is transferred into a trust. None of that appears on the MLS, but all of it is in the county record — and some of those households will make a real-estate decision months before that intent becomes visible to anyone else.

$75 a month. No setup fee. 25 real records free first.

What a Bluebeam realtor record tells you

Who
The appropriate mailing recipient, at the address of record — which is often not the property address.
What changed
The recorded event — an estate filing, a title change, a trust transfer — and the date it happened.
What property
Assessed value, square footage, year built, tenure, occupancy indicator and last recorded transfer price.
What neighborhood
ZIP median home value and household income from Census estimates, owner-occupancy rate, and the share of parcels held by investors rather than residents.
Why it ranked
A human-readable line stating what the record shows — not a score you have to take on faith.
Where it came from
A link straight back to the state or county record, so you can check any row in about ten seconds.
What you actually do with the file
MONTH 1
Take the 50 highest-ranked records in the ZIPs you work. Mail them.
WEEKS 2–4
Follow up on anyone who responds. Note which segment they came from.
MONTH 2
A new file arrives with different households — never the ones you already mailed.
ONGOING
Repeat. Tell us which segments are converting and the ranking follows the evidence.
Fifty a month is the right size for one person, because fifty is roughly what you can personally follow up on. Want the letters handled? $1 a piece written and addressed, $2 printed and mailed.

The record is the fact. The inference is yours to draw.

This is the part most list vendors get backwards. They sell you a conclusion — these people are selling — and hide the reasoning. We do the opposite: state exactly what the county recorded, attach the property and neighborhood figures that bear on it, and let you decide what it means for your business.

Worked example
The fact: a second owner was recorded on the deed of an 1,180 sq ft townhome held four years. No sale price. Assessed at $340,700 against a last transfer price of $245,000.

The context: ZIP median home value around $372,400. Owner-occupancy 58%. Investor share 24%.

A reasonable inference: a space-limited property whose ownership just changed, in a market with real turnover and a meaningful investor bid. Households in this profile move at a higher rate than the general population, and when they do it usually means a listing and a purchase.

What the record does not tell you: why title changed, who lives there, what their mortgage is, or whether they intend to move at all. Anyone who claims otherwise is selling you a guess with a confident voice.

That separation is deliberate. It lets you build your own view — weight tenure more heavily, ignore trust transfers, only work ZIPs above a value threshold — instead of inheriting somebody else’s. And when a prospect asks how you found them, you have a real answer: a public county record, which you can show them.

Seven record types, strongest first.

S1 · Strongest
Estate holding residential property
Observed: an estate was opened, and parcel records show it holds a residential property. Whether an attorney has entered an appearance, and where the representative’s address of record is, are both on the row.
Why it matters: estates holding residential real property frequently create an eventual sale or transfer decision. Where the property carried an owner-occupancy indicator, occupancy often changes after the filing.
S2
Co-owner removed from title
Observed: an owner was removed from the deed in the last six months, with no arms-length sale recorded.
Why it matters: who holds the property has changed, which commonly precedes a sale or refinance decision. The record does not show the reason, and we do not assert one.
S3 · Potential move-up signal
Co-owner added, smaller home
Observed: a second owner was recorded on title of a smaller property — under 1,500 square feet, under $420K, or a condo or townhome — with no sale price.
Why it matters: ownership changed on a home with limited space. Combined with size, tenure and the ZIP’s value and turnover figures, this is a profile from which move-up transactions are disproportionately drawn — and a move-up produces both a listing and a purchase.
S4
Permit with no recorded final inspection
Observed: a permit issued 18–36 months ago on an older home, with no final status recorded.
Why it matters: that can indicate a project that stalled, though some are completed without the status being updated. Worth pairing with an investor buyer list.
S5
Property deeded into a living trust
Observed: title transferred to a trust, typically on a higher-value home.
Why it matters: a household actively organizing its affairs, and a high-value property. Speculative on timing — it does not establish an upcoming move. Trust-named recipients are filtered out so you are writing to a person.
S6 · Volume
Long-tenure ownership
Observed: twenty-five years or more since the last recorded transfer, owner-occupied, in an older housing stock.
Why it matters: the largest segment by count, and the population from which future transfers are disproportionately drawn. Right for a monthly drip rather than a blitz.
S7 · Off-market
Absentee owner with repeat violations
Observed: a property whose owner’s address of record is elsewhere, carrying more than one county violation.
Why it matters: a candidate for an off-market conversation, often with tenants in place. Match these to your investor buyers.

Recent purchases are excluded on purpose. They bought three months ago. A lot of generic seller lists are full of them.

Also included · Landlord and rental records
Sales slow at 7% rates? The same county records find rental business.
When a seller can’t get their price, many keep the house and rent it. Owners who move out of long-held homes, heirs who keep an estate house and small self-managed landlords all need someone licensed to price, lease and manage. Your subscription includes six landlord record types built for leasing business: accidental landlords, small self-managed landlords, absentee owners, estates, licensed rentals and absentee owners with open violations.

What a real delivery looked like.

Two hundred properties across 59 ZIP codes, drawn from a pool of 983 qualified records with a cut-off of 79. Just over $101 million of assessed property behind the names.

Where the 200 records came from
Segment mix · median assessed value
Co-owner added, smaller home 153 · median $340,700
Estate holding property 27 · median $500,800
Deeded into a living trust 20 · median $1,353,750
Twenty records — a tenth of the list — sit on property with a median assessed value over $1.3M. That is the argument for ranking rather than sorting alphabetically.

One agent per farm area.

A seller list everyone else has is not a seller list. Exclusivity by county and trade is available, and we hold the line on it. Ask for 25 records first — verify them against the county yourself, then decide.

Responsible outreach
Managed mail avoids language implying distress, urgency, or knowledge of a recipient’s private circumstances, and never references the record that put them on the list. Your own brokerage and advertising rules govern any copy you write yourself.
