Every escrow, checked daily until close.

Between offer and close, escrow mode checks the parcel itself every day and emails you the same morning anything is filed — a permit, a complaint, a notice of violation. The rest of the report is the listing package your compliance desk never has to read: every count a public record with its source named, compared with the city, never scored — none of the classic Fair Housing proxies — so you can forward it to any client without a counsel pass.

The questions it answers

The sections that earn their keep

Escrow watchFlip a client's building to escrow mode between offer and close: a same-day email if anything is filed on the parcel. Ten watch slots on Pro — a year's pipeline.
What will come upDisclosure triggers and open obligations, pulled to the top — the escrow surprises, before escrow.
The one-page summaryThe version a client actually reads, with the full report behind it for the one who reads everything.
Compare a shortlistUp to six addresses side by side, exported as CSV, for the client holding three maybes.
What this parcel last recordedThe county's recorded transfer date. Under Proposition 13 the assessed value resets to the price that day, so the roll itself dates the sale.
Farm watchWatch a neighborhood the way you farm it: a weekly email of every permit, complaint, notice and eviction filed inside your patch — and the daily filing lists on Office and up for the mornings-first version.
Nothing here needs a compliance read. The report contains no scores, grades or rankings — no safety rating, no school grade, no neighborhood letter. Those are the classic proxies for what the Fair Housing Act protects, and this product refuses them by design: you get counts, comparisons and sources. It names no person, and it is not a consumer report.

Why a seller's bill says nothing about a buyer's.Who to actually call in Los AngelesTwo governments hold this record — the city and the county — and each department's own page. No number here is one we made up.
