How it works

We watch the county records, so you don’t have to.

Your home’s ownership lives in public records at the county. We watch those records for anything new on your property and tell you about it fast.

  1. 1

    Tell us your address

    Sign up in about two minutes. All we need is the property address and how to reach you.

  2. 2

    We record your baseline

    We pull your property’s current recorded ownership and show it in your portal so you can confirm it’s right.

  3. 3

    We check every night

    New county recordings come in every business day. Every night we compare them against every property we monitor.

  4. 4

    A person reviews it, then we tell you

    If something new is recorded on your home, a real person reviews it first, then we reach you by email, text, or phone.

The problem

Records went digital. So did deed fraud.

Deeds are public, and most counties now accept filings electronically. That makes it easier for a fraudster to find a home with equity, copy the owner’s signature from an old deed, and record a forged transfer.

Once the forged deed is on record, they may try to sell the home or take out a loan against it. Paid-off homes, rentals, vacant lots, and homes owned by older relatives are frequent targets.

Credit monitoring and identity-theft services generally don’t watch county property records, and owner’s title insurance usually covers problems from before you bought the home.

Behind the scenes

Data every day. Checks every night. People in the loop.

Daily county recording data
Every business day we receive newly recorded documents from counties across the country through a national property-data provider.
A baseline you confirm
When you sign up, we record what’s currently on file for your property — owner names, last recorded deed, and recording date — and you confirm it in your portal.
A nightly scan of every property
Every night we compare each monitored property against new recordings, matching on the parcel itself, not just a name.
Human review before we contact you
Routine corrections and re-recordings happen. A real person reviews every potential alert so the ones you get are worth your attention.

What we watch

The filings that matter

  • Deeds and ownership transfers

    Grant, warranty, and quitclaim deeds — the documents used to move a home from one owner to another, including fraudulent ones.

  • Changes to the owner of record

    Any new recording that lists a different owner name than the one you confirmed with us.

  • New mortgages recorded with a transfer

    Loans recorded against the property as part of a sale or transfer — a common pattern when someone tries to borrow against a home they don’t own.

  • Corrections and re-recordings

    Re-filed or corrected documents on your parcel. Usually harmless, but you should know they happened.

Your client portal

Everything in one place

Side-by-side review

Every alert shows the new recording next to your confirmed baseline — owners, dates, document type, and amounts — with a plain-English note from our reviewer.

Your alert settings

Choose email, text, phone call, or all three. Add a spouse, adult child, or anyone else who should hear about it too.

Your documents

Download a copy of your deed and a property title report whenever you need them.

Scan history

See every nightly check on your property, so you know we’re on it.

If you get an alert

What happens next

  1. Open your portal and compare the new recording to your baseline.
  2. Tell us whether you expected it — refinancing, adding a spouse, or a trust transfer are common and harmless.
  3. If you didn’t expect it, we’ll point you to the next steps: your county recorder’s office, local law enforcement, and a real estate attorney.

We’re not a law firm and don’t provide legal advice. We can’t stop documents from being recorded — our job is making sure you know quickly.

Know fast if anything changes on your home.

Plans start at $7.50/month, or pay $250 once and you’re covered for as long as you own it.
