Property Shark
In a city where real estate is a raging addiction, Propertyshark
is a major enabler. Sampling free property reports (eight a day if
you set up an account) get you hooked with hard-to-find details about
any address in New York: the owner’s name and address, comparable
sales, city violations, tax assessments, title history, and the like.
Every lot also gets a clickable map that reveals the same information
about neighboring buildings—nearly everything you need to know, in
other words, to make a smart offer. Sure, this is public data that you
could find yourself if you became a regular at the courthouse, but
Propertyshark.com—founded in 2003 by a real-estate-minded computer
programmer named Matthew Haines—brings it all to your desk. After a
few weeks of browsing, you’re likely to upgrade to the site’s premium
service ($79.95 a month), where the really good stuff lies. That would
be the foreclosure listings, complete with lis pendens (the legal term
for the moment when a mortgage first goes into default) and tips on
how to snap up a property before it goes to auction. “The best jobs
are not advertised,” says company president Ryan Slack. “The same is
true of real estate.”
