“The MLS didn’t tell the story.”
For agents
Built for agents who want clearer deals.
Everything for buyer's agents, listing agents, and teams in one place: why agents order a brief, how to add your logo to the cover, and plans that match your volume.
The market right now
A tough market. How will you stand out?
Prices sit near record highs, mortgage rates are more than double the 2021 low, and fewer homes are changing hands. Every client you win has to count.
7.03%
average 30-year mortgage rate (trend since 2019), 2.7× the 2021 low of 2.65%.
$410,700
median U.S. home sale price (trend since 2019), up 26% since late 2019.
30%
of a median household’s income now goes to the mortgage on a typical home, up from 21% in 2019 (trend since 2019).
8.5 mo
supply of new homes for sale, up from 3.3 months in 2020. Homes are sitting longer (trend since 2019).
3.98M
existing homes selling at an annual pace (past 12 months), the slowest month of the past year. Fewer deals to go around.
A Property Brief puts sourced deed and property research in your hands before the offer, so clients see the difference early.

The difference
We fill the gap between MLS and title.
We don’t replace the MLS or the title company. We give you the intel in between, early, without pricing the home.
Without a brief
- An MLS printout of listing remarks
- Deed and title questions surface after you’re under contract
- Local risk records left for the client to dig up
- Hours stitching together registry and town records
- Research that waits until you find the time
- A generic handout with nothing that says it’s from you
With a Property Brief
- A finished, sourced PDF for one property
- Deed-intel flags before the offer
- Local rules cited, with what to confirm with the town
- Questions for the listing agent, ready to send
- Delivered to your account or by email
- Add your logo to the brief cover (optional)
Why agents order a brief
Why buyer’s agents order a Property Brief: clearer research before the offer, stronger client conversations, and a record of the work you did.
Illustrative agent moments. Not testimonials.
“My buyer keeps asking questions I can’t answer from the printout.”
“I’m stuck in the middle with no paper trail.”
“Every agent on my team researches a different way.”
“How can I make time with so much paperwork?!”
“Title always finds the surprises after we’re under contract.”
Buyer's agents
Order a brief for a client, or work from the one your buyer already has. Walk into showings and offer talks with sourced history, ownership checks, and questions ready for the listing side.
Listing agents
Get ahead of buyer questions with a Property Brief for Sellers: what the listing says, what the record shows, and what to confirm early.
Brokerages and teams
Give the desk a shared research standard across buyer and listing work, with plans that match your volume.
Grow your business
