Phoenix · Maricopa County

How it works

Three steps. No drive-for-dollars, no spreadsheets, no skip-tracing spray-and-pray — just a clean ranked list.

01

We pull the county records

Every refresh we ingest live Maricopa County parcel data — ownership, mailing addresses, assessed values, sale history — the public records that quietly flag distress and seller motivation.

02

We stack and score them

Tax delinquency, absentee and out-of-state ownership, long tenure and property age get combined into one 0–100 motivation score — with a plain-English reason for every number.

03

You get the ranked list

Open the dashboard or get the CSV in your inbox — sorted by conviction, refreshed daily, before the monthly-refresh tools ever show it.

What a lead looks like

Every property comes scored, tiered, and explained — so you know why it's worth a call before you pick up the phone.

The score is the product.

Anyone can pull a list of absentee owners. The value is the ranking — knowing which 30 of 30,000 properties are most likely to sell, and being able to explain why to a seller on the first call. That's what the motivation score does, and it's why a single closed deal pays for the year many times over.

Why investors switch

The data underneath is public. What you pay for is signal quality, timing, and not having to do this yourself.

A score, not a filter dump

PropStream hands you ten separate filters and a spreadsheet. We hand you one ranked list and tell you exactly why each property is on it.

Distress events, not just lists

A property only ranks high when a real event is behind it — tax delinquency, a code violation. No event, no high score. The list stays short and the conviction stays high.

Phoenix, done properly

We don't cover 3,000 counties badly. We cover Maricopa deeply, refresh it daily, and earn the right to expand from there.
