Two different approaches to motivated sellers: one built for national scale and breadth, one built for county-verified leads in a single metro market.
PropScored and PropertyRadar aren't chasing the same job. PropertyRadar is a national data platform, 160M+ properties, 30+ modeled distress signals, 3,000+ counties, built for agents and investors running broad, multi-channel campaigns. PropScored does one thing: it gives you the full county-verified dataset in metro Atlanta, and every lead is tied to a real public-record filing before you ever see it.
Give credit where it's due. PropertyRadar has spent 20 years building real infrastructure. Their platform indexes 160M+ properties, 318M+ mortgages, and 1.1M+ listings across 3,000+ counties nationwide, scale that no small regional tool touches. Their own site cites customers winning over $250B in new business through the platform. They track 30+ distress signal types, run foreclosure data back to 2007, and layer on multi-channel marketing, phone, text, email, mail, online, plus API and CRM integrations. If you need one tool to cover every county in the country, that breadth is real. Nobody's replicating it overnight.
PropertyRadar doesn't publish a refresh cadence, so I can't put their number next to ours. Here's what I can say: most batch-style platforms in this category, PropStream and its peers, refresh on roughly 30-90 day cycles. Rebuilding a 160M-property national index isn't something you do overnight. PropScored runs the opposite play. Every source we track gets scraped daily. Across 1,142 timestamped filings, the median gap from public-record filing to sourced lead is 2 days, bankruptcy filings average 1 day, pre-foreclosure 3 days, liens run about 7 days because county lien lists land as periodic bulk loads, not daily feeds. We trade national coverage for speed in the counties we do cover. Full breakdown is in our data freshness methodology.
PropertyRadar is a data and marketing platform: you pull lists, build campaigns, and compete with every other subscriber pulling the same list in your market. PropScored gives every customer the full metro-Atlanta dataset, county-verified, no zip limits, for one flat price. Every lead is tied to a real filing you can pull up yourself, not a modeled record shared across a marketing platform.
PropertyRadar surfaces 30+ distress and life-event signals, mostly modeled from their OwnerGraph™ data. PropScored's approach is narrower, but literal: every lead ties back to a real, county-verified public-record filing, an actual pre-foreclosure notice, lien, probate filing, or similar document, not a predictive score. Across 5,265 sourced prospects, 84% carry a verified phone or email (69% a phone, 64% an email, many with both), and contactability shifts by source type: FSBO 96%, liens 97%, pre-foreclosure 95%, expired listings 82%, tax delinquent 81%. Agents who'd rather not build their own call scripts can add optional done-for-you outreach on top.
| Dimension | PropertyRadar | PropScored |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | 160M+ properties, 3,000+ counties nationwide | 11 distress signals, metro Atlanta counties in Georgia |
| Freshness | Cadence not published; comparable batch tools cycle 30-90 days | Daily scrape, 2-day median filing-to-lead |
| Dataset access | Shared list access across subscribers | Full dataset, no zip limits |
| Contact data | Owner contact data included; no independent contactability rate published | 84% verified phone/email across 5,265 prospects |
| Motivation signal | 30+ modeled distress signals | County-record verified filing, not predicted |
| Best for | Nationwide investors/agents needing broad multi-channel reach | Georgia agents wanting a small, verified, county-fresh dataset |
Periodic batch refreshes miss the one thing that actually moves the needle: leads contacted within an hour are ~7x more likely to qualify than those contacted later. PropScored's daily scrape gets you a median 2-day lag from filing to lead. Batch platforms cycle 30-90 days. Stale data isn't "done-for-you", it's done-too-late. Motivation decays fast. Speed wins.
Working multiple states? Need commercial or mortgage plays? Want one platform for lists, marketing, and CRM under one roof? PropertyRadar's scale makes sense there, that's a lane we don't try to compete in. But if you're a residential agent working a specific market in Georgia, and you want a small number of leads you know are current and backed by an actual county filing, not a modeled guess, that's exactly the problem I built PropScored to solve. Check our approach on distressed seller leads and judge the fit before you commit to anything.
