The record,
set in stone.
We stand in front of the property, photograph what is there today, tie it to the parcel, and put it on the record. For more than two decades, across twelve states, more than a million times.
Parcel boundaries don’t change. What’s inside them does.
Everything permanent about a property is already public. What goes stale is the present: whether the house still stands, burned in March, lost its roof in a storm, or sits boarded with someone living in it. The only way to know is to go and look. That is what we do.
Ground truth
A person stood at the curb and photographed it. Not an old image, not an estimate.
On record
Every photo tied to its parcel, time-stamped, rated and kept in order.
Set in stone
A permanent, parcel-by-parcel record that belongs to you.
Two decades on the road.
Tax-lien and tax-deed buyers, valuation and underwriting support, county records, review work. In cities, suburbs and back roads, at the scale of whole counties.
Pre-sale parcel drives
Every parcel on a buyer’s list photographed and rated before the auction, county by county.
Condition and occupancy calls
Area and building ratings, plus a clear yes or no on boarded, burned and unoccupied, for every parcel.
Valuation and underwriting support
Field photos and ratings feeding valuation and underwriting decisions, parcel by parcel.
One company. Three parts.
The brand is forged steel, like a good chef’s knife: slate and brass for the company, the rust steel earns in the field for Kestrel, and the bronze-to-blue patina only real use can give for Patina Value.
Field capture, the parcel record, and delivery your team can use the day it lands.
