How does Claude read public records for CRE deal sourcing?

Through the Signal Scout, a Claude Project you build in about 15 minutes. It reads your county exports and returns an evidence-cited signal table per parcel, with copy-paste instructions included. Two rules keep it honest: no citation means no HIT, and NOT VERIFIED beats a silent guess. You can sweep a real submarket the same week.

Why stack multiple owner signals instead of buying a single list?

Because one record is trivia and five is a phone call. Three converging public records beat any single list you can buy. The guide gives a starter rule for stacking signals into a ranked call sheet, plus a verify pass and call-prep brief that turn a stacked parcel into a first conversation nobody else is having.

Is the Claude for Deal Prospecting guide free?

Yes. It is a free CRE guide from Pacific Software Ventures, delivered as an instant PDF download with no paywall. You drop your details and the guide downloads the moment you submit. It teaches the manual version of the system; PSV also builds production AI employees that run the sweeps on a schedule.

Inside the guide

What you’ll learn.

Eight signals, straight from public records

20+ year tenure, tax delinquency, maturing debt, low-rate vintage loans, out-of-market LLCs, permit silence, quiet holds, and assessment gaps. For each: where the record lives, the threshold that matters, and what it actually tells you about the owner. No paid database required to start.

The Signal Scout you build in 15 minutes

A Claude Project that reads your county exports and returns an evidence-cited signal table per parcel. Copy-paste instructions included, with the two rules that keep it honest: no citation, no HIT, and NOT VERIFIED beats a silent guess. You'll sweep a real submarket this week.

Convergence: the ranked call sheet

Why three converging records beat any single list you can buy, the starter rule for stacking signals into a call list, and the verify pass plus call-prep brief that turn a stacked parcel into a first conversation nobody else is having.

The stack, live

One record is trivia. Five is a phone call.

Debt in one database, taxes in another, permits on a county website, ownership history somewhere else. Most teams see the records and never the picture. The guide shows you how a team of Claude agents reads all eight signals on one desk, cites every record, and ranks the owners worth calling first.
