Code violations, evictions and probate
Three signals that point to a tired owner, where we carry them, and how to use them with other signals.
Code violations
A city cited the property: tall grass, junk, an unsafe structure, an open building. Repeat violations often mean a vacant house or an owner who has stopped maintaining it. We carry code violations where the city publishes them, including Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and Fort Worth. Example: Dallas code violations.
Evictions
An eviction case was filed at the property. Repeated evictions often point to a landlord who is tired of the property.
Probate
The owner has died and the estate is going through probate court. Heirs often prefer a quick, simple sale, especially when they live out of town.
Use them together
On their own these signals are warm. Stacked with tax delinquency or a foreclosure notice, they are some of the best leads in the product. Try the Code + another signal preset on Lists.
