Your next listing
starts before the listing.

The data exists. Board and association membership already bundles an agent a stack of tools that reach it, and the county records it too. Getting to the owner of the house on the corner means a separate tool, several steps and real digging, at a desk, after the moment has passed. SCOUTRE returns it all at once: open the property and the owner, the occupancy, the ownership length, the estimated equity and mortgage position, the MLS status and the nearby comparable sales come back together on one record, across 160 million U.S. properties. One address. One screen. Coverage varies by county.

That is the X-ray, and it is half of it. From the same record you trace the owner's phone numbers and email addresses, and mail a branded postcard carrying the actual photo of the house. Agents are one of eight roles in all SCOUTRE solutions , and the underlying capabilities are set out in what SCOUTRE does .

Five things cost an agent listings in a farm: not knowing the owner's situation fast enough, an owner picture that only comes together back at the desk, the valuation answered two days late, mail that looks like every other agent's just-sold card, and the compliance line.

Someone is standing in front of me and I know nothing about their situation

Agents fall behind because they do not have the owner's full picture right away. Whether the person in front of you is a possible seller or a possible buyer, the conversation changes when you already know the house. Open the property and SCOUTRE shows whether they own it and live in it, when they bought and what they paid, roughly how much equity has accumulated, the estimated mortgage balance and lien position, and what the houses around them sold for. Those figures are estimates, not account balances. Long-term owner, high equity and out-of-state owner change the opening line more than any script.

The owner picture I need is in another tool, at another time

The information is there. The county records it, and the tools in your membership reach it — opened separately, a lookup at a time, read back at a desk. SCOUTRE reads that house on the spot: owner of record, owner mailing address, occupancy, ownership length, sale and deed history, taxes, and the 37 property signals, all together the moment you open the property. Availability varies by property, county and source.

My farming mail looks like every other agent's just-sold card

Mail goes out from the property lead carrying the actual photo of that house, with your logo, headshot and brand colors on it. Choose size, layout, headline, message, handwriting style and ink color, and send once or run a six-touch campaign. See postcards and handwritten letters .

A neighbour asks what their house is worth and I answer two days later

Nearby sold comparable sales, price per square foot and an adjustable estimated value sit on the record while you are at the mailbox, not back at the desk that evening — enough for a real conversation on the spot and a branded valuation invitation the same afternoon. It is comparable-sales context, not a comparative market analysis; the CMA stays your work as the licensee.

I am licensed and I need to know where the line is

Outreach goes out under your own name, your own brand and your own responsibility. You are the caller of record. SCOUTRE surfaces Federal DNC, State DNC, DMA suppression and known-litigator flags on every trace; compliance is yours, and this is not legal advice. SCOUTRE is not a consumer reporting agency and what it returns is not a consumer report, so it cannot be used to decide eligibility for credit, insurance, employment or housing tenancy — see the FTC on the Fair Credit Reporting Act . The FCC publishes the federal telemarketing rules.

Yes, and it is worth knowing what that route costs you in steps. The data exists in the tools your membership already includes, and in the county's own records. Your county assessor or property appraiser publishes the owner of record and the mailing address for free — Philadelphia at property.phila.gov , Cook County at cookcountyassessor.com — one parcel and one county website at a time.

What no free route assembles for you is the moment. Each piece comes from a different place and arrives on its own, and by the time you have them side by side you are back at a desk and the conversation has moved on. SCOUTRE returns the owner, the estimated equity, the mortgage position, the comps, the 37 property signals and the contact paths together on one record while you stand in front of the house — no second tool, no second login, no going back to the desk — and the mail goes out from that same record. Farm one street a season and the free route is enough. Work a farm every week and the difference is how fast you know.

Review available signals on a property you capture or look up by address. To find candidates from criteria, use Property Discovery presets and filters, preview the match count and research the matching records you choose. Recording dates and field availability vary; a signal does not prove willingness to sell.

SCOUTRE puts the next action on the same screen as the intelligence. Tap to skip trace and the record returns multiple phone numbers classified wireless or landline, multiple email addresses, and the owner's mailing address — which for an absentee owner is usually not the property address. Multiple owners are tabbed separately, and traces run against live sources at the moment you request them, drawing on 150M+ U.S. residential records in the skip-trace source.

Every trace is screened against Federal DNC, State DNC, DMA suppression and known-litigator flags at no extra cost, and the record carries a Recent Data badge and a TRACED state so you can see what you are working with. One-by-one tracing is included in the plan, subject to usage limits. Match rates sit in a 70–95% provider-reported match range and input quality matters; hit rates vary by property and county. See real estate skip tracing .

Contact is one tap, and it runs through your own accounts. Tap a phone number and your own dialer opens, so the homeowner sees your real local number on the caller ID. Tap to text and your own messages app opens. Tap an email address and your own email client opens with a template already filled in, nothing to set up. One tap, your client, your number. SCOUTRE does not send email, texts or calls on your behalf.

Physical mail is the one thing SCOUTRE sends. From that same property lead, a branded postcard or handwritten letter goes out carrying the actual photo of the house you took in the field, with your logo, headshot, brand colors and contact details on it. Postcards start from $0.59 and handwritten letters from $0.83, print and postage included, and your first postcard is free. Every piece carries a QR code tied to that one homeowner, opening a branded home-valuation page in your name; when they submit a valuation request your phone buzzes and the request attaches to the same lead. See postcards and handwritten letters .

Build your geographic farm with Property Discovery, or add properties one at a time while driving or searching by address. Each property stays on its own saved record.

Each property sits in an 11-stage pipeline you move by hand: New, Queued, Called, Texted, Contacted, Analyzing, Offer Sent, Negotiating, Under Contract, Closed, Dead. Those names come from an acquisition pipeline; an agent will ignore some.

SCOUTRE covers 160 million U.S. properties at roughly 95% coverage. Coverage varies by county.

• Owner name, owner mailing address, and whether the owner lives there.
• Estimated value, estimated equity, estimated equity percentage, estimated mortgage balance.
• Lender, lien position, loan type, original amount, loan term and maturity date.
• Sale history, last sale price and date, deeds and taxes.
• Beds, baths, square footage, lot size, year built, zoning, land use, MLS status, Street View and nearby comparable sales.

MLS status comes from participating boards, so a board that does not participate shows nothing here. Equity and mortgage figures are estimates derived from recorded loan history and assessed values. They are not statements of account balance.

SCOUTRE supports 37 property signal display types. High equity, Free & clear, Absentee owner, Out-of-state owner, Inherited, Expired listing and Tax delinquent can matter most to a farming agent.

Each account is a single user — no teams, no seats, no shared pipelines. SCOUTRE does not send email, texts or calls on your behalf. It opens your own apps with the message ready. Physical mail is the one thing SCOUTRE produces and sends for you. CSV export is available for researched Discovery records. You can import purchased Discovery records into CRM; importing an external CSV or sphere database is not supported.
