US Off-Market Seller Leads: Scored and Mail-Ready

A query that matches nothing costs you nothing. Billing is one charge per lead delivered. Set a score floor nobody clears, or a county we do not cover, and the run returns a typed reason and no lead charge. Leads are the most expensive record we sell, which is exactly why you should never be billed for an empty pull.

Every lead here is a property with a public-record distress signal on it, a street address you can mail, and a score that shows its work.

What each lead contains

Field	What it is
address	A resolved street address. Leads without one never enter the pool.
lead_score	0 to 100, deterministic.
score_rationale	The itemized breakdown. Not a black box, not a model output, just arithmetic you can check.
lead_type	tax_delinquent or sheriff_sale_auction.
owner_name	Owner of record, from the county file.
amount_owed	Delinquent tax balance, on tax leads.
sale_date, appraised_value, opening_bid	On auction leads, the sale details.
matched_deal_id	Non-null when the property is also an active listing in our multifamily feed.
signal_verified_at	When the underlying public record was last confirmed.
source_url	The county or court record behind the lead.

A real score_rationale reads like this:

{ "base": "county tax delinquency (35)", "debt_size": "$31,448 owed (+15)" }

Fifty points, and you can see where all fifty came from. Compare that with a lead vendor's "A grade."

The seven-day rule

A lead only enters the pool if its public record was re-verified within the last seven days. Stale distress is worse than no distress, because it sends you after a problem that has already been solved by somebody else. Anything older than a week drops out of the feed automatically.

Coverage and score range

Leads are drawn from tax-delinquency rolls in Hamilton (Cincinnati) and Montgomery (Dayton) County, Ohio, and from the sheriff-sale calendar in Summit and Mahoning County. A county only contributes leads once its parcels have resolved street addresses, so mail-ready coverage is narrower than raw signal coverage.

At the time of writing the pool holds roughly 27,000 leads. Tax leads start at 35 and climb with the size of the debt, topping out around 50 in the current pool. Auction leads score higher when the sale is imminent or the opening bid sits well under the appraisal, but they only exist while a sale is actually scheduled, so some days there are none. Set min_score to 45 and you are looking at a few thousand. Set it to 50 and you are looking at about a thousand.

Filters

Field	Effect
min_score	Score floor. The main lever.
county	Substring match.
lead_type	Tax delinquency or sheriff sale. Blank gives both.
maxItems	Caps leads delivered and therefore caps the bill. Defaults to 100.

Leads come back highest score first, so a small maxItems is not a worse list, just a shorter one.

Public records only. No portal-scraped listing data, no skip-traced personal contact information, no phone numbers, no emails. What you get is the property, the signal, the score and the source. Who you contact and how is on you, including the TCPA and DNC obligations that come with it.

Output

One dataset item per lead, highest score first.
