AI-Powered Public Record Analysis

The listing says 4 bed, 2,500 sqft.
The county says otherwise.

AI cross-references listing claims against county records, permit history, and flood maps. If the numbers don't match, you'll know before you close.

Three deals. Three verdicts.

The cosmetic flip
Previous listing 18 months earlier: "cash only, deck unsafe to walk on, lower level gutted." New listing: "recently renovated, perfect for entertaining." Sqft jumped because the gutted basement now counts as finished space. Listed tax bill is based on a relief program that doesn't transfer to the new buyer.
AI Assessment: Significant markup over prior purchase. Tax liability will multiply after closing. Finished sqft unverifiable without permits on file.

The hidden Superfund site
Clean listing. Verified permits for HVAC, electrical, and roof. Top school district, low vacancy, major employer nearby. One block away: a federal Superfund site with historical groundwater contamination. This doesn't show up on MLS, Zillow, or a standard inspection.
AI Assessment: Flag is real, but EPA records confirm full remediation. Permits are code-compliant. Zip-level fundamentals are very strong. Risk is resolved.

Built for investors who can't drive by

Listings are marketing materials

MLS data is entered by the listing agent. Nobody checks it against county records before it goes live. That's how a 1,548 sqft house gets listed as 2,500.

You can't check from 1,000 miles away

Local investors drive by, talk to neighbors, walk into the assessor's office. This system runs the same public record checks remotely, so you don't have to fly in to find out the listing was wrong.

Discrepancies cost real money

An unpermitted addition means the appraisal comes in low. A mismatched sqft means your per-foot price is off. These gaps change the math on your deal.

Built by an investor, for investors

I built PropertyPrism after getting burned. As a software engineer investing out-of-state, I kept finding things that didn't add up: listing sqft that didn't match county records, additions with no permits on file, flood zones that nobody mentioned. So I built an AI pipeline that cross-checks every listing against public records automatically. If the data can catch what my agent and PM didn't disclose, every OOS investor should have access to that.
