About

The morning record.

Every commercial property in America is sold exactly the same way: a deed gets recorded at a county courthouse. Roughly fifty thousand of them, every business day, across 3,143 counties. The records are public. They’re also a mess — 3,143 different formats, 3,143 different upload schedules, all of them still six steps removed from a phone-ready buyer.

The problem we’re solving

The deal team that wins is the deal team that knows first. Brokers want listings before they’re listed. Principals want competitor moves before the LP letter ships. Lenders want to price the loan before the term sheet hits their inbox. Appraisers want comps that aren’t two weeks stale.

Today, that intelligence lives in three places — expensive web platforms with batch-and-verify cycles measured in weeks, local recorders’ offices with PDF downloads measured in 1990s, and the LinkedIn signals brokers post once everyone has already moved. Deedbook is the morning paper that should always have existed for this market: every transfer recorded yesterday, ranked for your portfolio, in your inbox by 6 AM ET.

How the morning record gets built

Every night, between roughly 10 PM and 4 AM Eastern, our scrapers pull every new deed, mortgage, lien, and assignment from the recorders that closed at 5 PM. We normalize the 37 different filing schemas into one shape, deduplicate, and join each transfer to corporate registries, prior filings, mortgage signatories, and our historical graph — until each shell LLC has a real human principal named, with a phone number you can dial and a confidence score on the match.

Then every transfer gets scored against your watchlist: geography, asset class, deal size, principal overlap with people you’ve worked with before. The top-ranked deals appear first in the morning email; the rest are below. By 6:02 AM ET, the entire previous business day is in one place, ranked, in the inbox you’re already opening.

What we’re not

We’re not a search index. We’re not a research tool for going back through decades of historical filings. We’re not a lease-comp marketplace. Three different tools cover those jobs well; we don’t compete with any of them. Deedbook is purpose-built for one thing: the moment a transfer is recorded, you know — ranked for what you actually do.

The team

Deedbook is built by a small team based in Boston, MA, with backgrounds in commercial real estate brokerage, software engineering, and county-recorder data engineering. We started by going deep on Tampa Bay as our first live market and we’re rolling out the rest of the country with select partners. If you’d like to be an early subscriber, a partner, or a teammate — request access from the home page or email hello@deedbook.io.
