Property Due Diligence Was Always Public. We Just Stopped Hiding It.

One search. Nine federal and state data sources. No login, no email, no paywall.

Every real estate professional and investor I know has the same tab problem.

You're looking at a property. So you open FEMA's flood map portal. Then a wildfire risk tool. Then the USGS earthquake viewer. Then EPA Envirofacts, because the listing didn't mention the Superfund site three lots over. Then the county GIS — if the county has one. Then a soil survey, if you remember to check. Then, for anyone working in New Mexico, the GRT rate finder, because the tax rate code should be easy to pull up in a pinch.

Nine tabs. Three logins, on a good day. An hour of work. And half the time, one of the federal portals is having a moment, so you abandon the search and tell yourself you'll come back to it.

We refused to accept that as the standard.

So we rebuilt Property Intelligence to run nine federal and state data sources in parallel — and we made it free, with no login, no email required, no paywall, no dark patterns. One search. All nine sources. Cached where it makes sense, live where it doesn't.

Here's what's actually running:

• FEMA NFHL — the official National Flood Hazard Layer. Real flood zone designations (SFHA, X, A, AE, VE), not a third-party approximation. Base flood elevations where FEMA maps them.
• USDA NRI — National Risk Index from the Forest Service. Wildfire and drought hazard at the census tract. The data underwriters quietly use.
• USGS Earthquake — the FDSN Event API. Fifty-kilometer radius, fifty-year history, magnitude 2.5 and up, with a composite bucket score so you don't have to read 47 individual events to figure out whether the area moves.
• EPA Radon Zones — county-level radon designations, Zones 1 through 3. The thing most buyers don't ask about until inspection.
• USDA SSURGO — soil composition, drainage class, shrink-swell potential, and a derived foundation-risk bucket. Expansive clay is not a hypothetical in a lot of markets. It's a number on this report.
• EPA Envirofacts — five EPA compliance databases queried in parallel, with per-source attribution. Air, water, waste, toxics, Superfund. If there's a record near the property, you'll see which database surfaced it and why.
• ArcGIS Hub — eight safelisted state and tribal layers. USGS Quaternary faults. NM OSE iWATERS for water rights. NM State Land Office trust lands. NM EMNRD for energy and minerals. BLM, USFS, NPS, BIA. Federal and tribal land overlap matters anywhere — Indian Country, BLM checkerboard, Forest Service inholdings — and it almost never shows up on a standard listing.
• NM TRD GRT — for New Mexico work, the Gross Receipts Tax location code and current rate by address, via EDAC/UNM's GRT Rate Finder. Five seconds, not a spreadsheet, internal email, or going to the tax map.
• County parcel — situs address, owner, acreage, assessed values, wherever the county exposes a public GIS feature service.

Federal coverage works for any address in the United States. NM-specific layers — GRT, state lands, water rights — are where the tool is deepest right now, because that's where we built it first.

Here's what I want to be plain about:

Public data has always been public. FEMA didn't hide flood zones. USGS didn't hide earthquakes. The friction was never access. The friction was the bundling — and the friction has historically been monetized by tools that charge forty dollars a report to query the same federal endpoints anyone can hit for free.

That's the part we refused to participate in.

Property Intelligence is free because the data is free. Charging for it would be charging for the wrapper, and the wrapper isn't where the value lives. The value lives in what is done after the search — the conversation with the client, the risk-adjusted offer, the disclosure that didn't get missed, the deal that doesn't fall apart in inspection because somebody actually checked.

One more thing worth saying out loud, because it's the difference between a tool that works and a tool that pretends to work.

Every result is built to PRODUCTION-1 spec. Real data, or a designed empty state that tells you the source returned nothing and why. Never a placeholder. Never a fabricated number. Never the "we couldn't find it but here's something that looks like data anyway" pattern that has poisoned so much of this space.

If a source is down, you'll know. If the parcel doesn't have a public feed, you'll know. If FEMA hasn't mapped a base flood elevation for the address, you'll see that — not a number rounded to the nearest foot to make the report look complete.

This is what adaptive intelligence is supposed to look like for the regulated professions. Not a chatbot that hallucinates a flood zone. Not a score that obscures the source. The actual federal record, with the actual source named, in parallel, in seconds.

So — pick an address. A listing you're working. A property you're underwriting. A house you're thinking about offering on this weekend. Run it.

Open Property Intelligence — free, no login, nine federal and state sources in one search.

The data was always yours.
