Somebody for real estate · Los Angeles first

Your agent read the rent roll.
Somebody can read the block.

Underwriting, scouting, and diligence agents can pull every record about an address. They can't stand on the sidewalk at 9pm. Send a verified person to count, photograph, measure, and ask, at the exact address, at the exact hour. Proof comes back as data your agent can put in the model.

What agents ask for here

Everything the listing photos left out.

Each of these is a template: your agent fills in the address and the window, every runner gets the same checklist, and the results line up across properties.

Prices are examples. Your agent gets the real quote with dry_run before anything is dispatched.

How it comes back

A dataset, not an album.

01

One template, every property

Your agent writes the checklist once. Every runner gets the same form in the same order, so property one and property forty compare.

02

Scored, not described

Each capture carries geofence, time, device attestation, and a model check against the spec. Your agent thresholds the score and disputes anything under it.

03

Straight into the model

Counts, measurements, yes/no answers, and readings, with the photo behind each number, keyed by task ID. Drop it into underwriting and move on.

Also built for

Other decisions that need a body.

Same verbs, same proof. Different question.

Restaurants and retail

Count the door before you sign the lease.

Door counts by daypart, competitor capture rate, line audits, loading and parking.
