Tax-deed applications
New applications and scheduled tax sales the moment they post.
Reach the owner before the auction crowd.
Be faster. Be first.
Watchers monitor county records around the clock and alert you the moment new filings are published. They're the same distress lists other buyers will be dialing, in your hands first.
The county publishes. You call first.
Distress lists are public records, so the first buyer to reach the owner usually wins the conversation. Watchers close the gap between publication and your first call.
County publishes T + 0
A tax-deed application, lis pendens or probate filing is recorded.
Deedhawk detects it Minutes to hours
The next scheduled check finds it, resolves the real owner and scores the parcel.
Your alert Immediately

Batch lists catch up Later
Products that refresh lists on a schedule pick it up afterward. By then, you've called.

Checked on the county's clock, not once a month.
Each source is checked as often as the county publishes it. Speed depends on the county's own systems: when a county updates its index during the day, you hear about it the same hour.
| Source | How often we check | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Official records: deeds, liens, lis pendens | Every 15–60 minutes where the county index updates during the day | New filings alerted within the hour they appear |
| Court dockets: probate, foreclosure | Hourly to daily, by court system | Same-day alerts |
| Tax collector: delinquency, tax-deed | Daily, plus immediate pulls when annual lists post | Alerts the day lists are published |
| Code enforcement and permits | Daily | Next-morning alerts at the latest |
| Planning and zoning | As agendas post (typically weekly) | Alerts before the hearing |
| State entity registry | Daily to weekly | Status changes on owning LLCs |
Exactly the alerts you'd act on.
Narrow it
Event type, property type, acreage, value, equity, owner type (absentee, LLC, estate), ZIP code, radius or a drawn area, and a minimum seller score.
Get it where you work
Portal feed, email, text message, or a webhook into your CRM or dialer. Choose instant alerts or a morning digest.
Everything to make the call
Each alert carries the resolved owner, contact data (skip-trace credits), the "why now" event, a price suggestion and matched buyers.
Describe it, we watch it
"Alert me when an estate opens on vacant land over five acres within ten miles of a builder purchase." Plain-language watchers are built on request.
Watchers find the opportunity; outreach still follows the rules. Alerts flag Do-Not-Call status, and calling and email services follow federal and state requirements.
Be faster. Be first.
Any US county, live in two weeks, with watchers on from day one.
