Recorder deed data is collected from public records that are managed by county deed registries or recorder’s offices. When a property changes hands through a sale, inheritance, or other means, the transaction is documented in a deed. The deed is then filed with the recorder’s office, and is used to establish legal ownership. As a result, recorder deed data includes information about properties and the property owners:
- Ownership and transaction history: Seller and buyer names, corporate entities, and vesting information
- Recording and document details: Official recording dates, book and page numbers, and sequential document numbers
- Tax and sales price data: Documented sales prices, city and county transfer taxes, and total transaction amounts
- Concurrent trust deed information: Lender names, loan amounts, interest rates, and document identifiers
- Derived insights for residential properties: HOA presence, distressed sale status, and REO indicators
