Stop Calling Dead Lists.

Every lead on DistressIQ has at least one verified distress signal. Pulled directly from county records, updated as fast as county systems post them. We score every property on a 0–100 urgency scale using our proprietary Motivation Scoring™ engine. The highest-motivated sellers float to the top. You call them first.

No noise. No recycled lists. No guessing who actually wants to sell.

How It Works

From County Filing
to Ranked Lead. Automatically.

Four steps. Zero manual work on your end.

01

Discovery

We monitor public county records across 3,200+ US counties. Probate courts, tax assessors, civil courts, code enforcement, and more. When a new filing hits, we catch it.

02

Enrichment

One filing is a lead. Multiple overlapping filings? That's a motivated seller. We pull every public distress signal on each property, up to 20+ types, and build a complete picture of what's happening at that address.

03

Scoring

Motivation Scoring™ weighs signal type, count, recency, and compounding factors to generate a single urgency score from 0–100. Signal Stacking™ compounds the score when multiple signals overlap. Higher score = more urgency to move.

04

Delivery

Browse your county dashboard. Filter by score threshold, signal type, or signal count (2+, 3+, 4+). Save searches. Get daily or weekly alerts. Unlock addresses, skip trace from inside the platform, track leads in the built-in CRM. All in one place.

PATENT PENDING

Every Lead. One Number.
Total Clarity.

You don't need to be an analyst to know who to call first. The score does the work. Every lead gets a 0–100 urgency score based on signal type, count, recency, and compounding factors. Filter by score threshold and work the highest-urgency leads first.

A score of 90+ means multiple urgent signals on a property where the owner is almost certainly dealing with financial or life pressure. Below 60 is background noise. We still show it, but your time is better spent at the top.

Signal Stacking™
DistressIQ's proprietary compound distress analysis engine
PATENT PENDING

One Signal Is a Lead.
Four Signals Is a Deal.

When a seller is dealing with one problem, they have options. When they're dealing with four at once: a probate they're navigating, back taxes piling up, a vacant house they can't manage, and a code violation notice. That's real urgency to move.

Most platforms show you a probate list or a tax lien list. They don't cross-reference them. You do that manually. If you do it at all.

DistressIQ does it automatically. Filter by "2+ signals," "3+ signals," or "4+ signals" to find the sellers with the most compound urgency.

Signal Stacking™ in Action

Single signal
Tax lien. One reason to sell. Easy to ignore.

Why Investors Are Switching

You've Tried the Other Tools.
You Know How This Feels.

The frustration is real. We built DistressIQ because we lived it.

🔁

PropStream

PropStream recycles the same lists to thousands of investors. By the time a lead hits your dashboard, it might be months old. The property is already under contract. Their skip trace accuracy has quietly declined. You're paying for data, dialing disconnected numbers, and competing with everyone else who ran the same search.

DistressIQ: County-direct data. Not resellers. Every lead has at least one verified, current distress signal. You're not working the same list as every other investor in your market.

📵

BatchLeads

Real investors on Reddit describe dialing a thousand numbers a day and getting zero to one warm conversations. When your list quality is that low, you're not deal-finding. You're doing a numbers game with terrible odds. Stale ownership data means you're calling people who don't even own the property anymore.

DistressIQ: Every single lead has a verified, active distress signal. Motivation Scoring™ ranks by urgency. Call the 90s, skip the 40s. Fewer calls. Better conversations.

📱

DealMachine

19 usable contacts out of 100 records. That's what investors report from real pulls. Expired numbers on probate and water shut-off lists are especially bad. You're burning time and money on contacts that don't exist.

DistressIQ: On-demand skip trace at $0.08/record. Cell/landline classification and DNC screening included. Results cached permanently. Trace once, yours forever. Zero match? Automatic refund.

🗂️

The Spreadsheet Life

"I'm still spending my Mondays copying data from one system into another." Three subscriptions, nothing connects, a spreadsheet holding it all together. Your VA needs four logins to do one job.

DistressIQ: Distress database + motivation scoring + skip trace + CRM. One platform. Team/VA seats built in. CSV export for whatever workflow you already love.

We Built This Because We Couldn't Find It Anywhere Else.

Our founder was a real estate wholesaler and investor for years. He used PropStream, BatchLeads, DealMachine. He spent more time stitching tools together than actually talking to sellers. The data was stale. The lists were shared with half the market. The skip traces kept returning numbers that went nowhere. His VAs needed four logins to do one job.

So he built the platform he always wanted: distress-only leads, scored by urgency, with skip trace and a real CRM built in. All in one place. DistressIQ is what he wished had existed five years ago. It's what we're building for you now.

Automated OutreachCOMING SOON

The Follow-Up That
Actually Gets Opened.

A typed letter gets thrown away. A handwritten one gets read. We're building robotic pen (real ink, real stationery) personalized to each seller's exact situation. Set it on autopilot and let the system handle follow-up while you focus on conversations.

Most investors never follow up past call #1. The deals that close usually go to whoever followed up five or six times. This automates the hardest part.

  • Real pen on real paper, not printed fonts
  • Personalized to the property's specific distress signals
  • Autopilot mode: auto-send above your score threshold
  • Your branding, your phone number, your return address
  • Integrates with your existing outreach workflow

Dear Mrs. Hernandez,
I'm writing regarding your property at 4217 W Cypress Ave in Phoenix. I understand managing a property from out of state can be challenging, especially during difficult times.

I work with families in situations like yours and can offer a fair, fast cash offer with no repairs, no fees, and flexible closing. If you'd ever consider selling, I'd love to have a brief conversation. No pressure at all.

Please feel free to call or text me anytime.

Why DistressIQ

Not Another Data Provider.
A Targeting System.

🎯
Zero noise

Distress-Only Database

Every single lead has at least one verified distress signal. Zero filler. You're not sifting through 160 million properties hoping to find the 200 that matter - you start with the ones that already have a reason to sell.

🔗
0 middlemen

County-Direct Data

We source directly from county records - not resellers, not data aggregators. Faster updates, fewer middlemen, better accuracy. You get filings as fast as county systems post them - within days, not months.

📍
20+ signals

20+ Signal Types vs. 5–7 Everywhere Else
