Real Estate Agents & Brokerages

Turn building activity into listing conversations

A major renovation often comes before a sale. A new-build cluster signals a neighbourhood on the move. We surface that activity in your farm so you reach owners at the right moment, and walk into every listing knowing the property's full permit history.

THE CHALLENGE

Timing and local knowledge win listings

The agent who knows an owner just finished a six-figure renovation has a reason to call and something to say. Today that intelligence lives in municipal portals no busy agent has time to mine.

WHICH PERMIT FIELDS YOU USE

The permit fields you actually use

The fields agents and brokerages use most:

01

Permit type, sub-type, and scope flags

Filter to permits that meaningfully change property value (kitchen, bathroom, suite, addition, structural).

 

02

Declared value and value band

Prioritise high-value renovations and new builds in your farm.

 
 

03

Location, geocoding, and neighbourhood

Monitor activity at the street, neighbourhood, or postal-code level.

 
 

04

Lifecycle stage and milestone dates

Reach out at the finishing stage, when sale or refinance is most likely, not while crews are still framing.

 
 

05

Dwelling units and gross floor area

Identify properties that added a secondary suite or significant space, which materially changes value.

 
 

06

Permit history per address

Show buyers and sellers the documented improvement record at a property.

 
 

BY LIFECYCLE STAGE
