Illustrative interface · sample data · Bay Area pilot in progress

Public real estate data is everywhere.
Opportunity isn't.

Cities and counties publish millions of permits, property records, zoning changes and planning documents.

The data exists.

But it is fragmented, inconsistent and difficult to turn into business decisions.

DealHutch does the work between raw public records and the opportunity hidden inside them.

Raw Data

  • Parcels
  • Zoning
  • Planning

Opportunity

  • Contractor: someone may be about to spend money
  • Builder: this property may have development upside
  • Investor: this property may be worth investigating

How it works

From public records to actionable opportunities.

01

We Collect

DealHutch continuously monitors public real estate data from cities, counties and other public sources.

  • Building permits
  • Planning activity
  • Property records
  • Parcel data
  • Zoning

02

We Understand

Different datasets are normalized and connected to the underlying property. Permit descriptions and property characteristics are analyzed to understand what is actually happening.

03

We Surface Opportunities

Instead of searching thousands of raw records, users see the opportunities most relevant to their business.

Launching first

Know where money is about to be spent.

DealHutch Permit Intelligence analyzes newly issued permits and identifies projects that may create demand for contractors and property service providers.

  • Multifamily development candidate

Development potential is preliminary intelligence based on available public records and DealHutch analysis. Zoning, entitlement, density, and development feasibility must be independently verified.

DealHutch tracks where real estate activity is happening — and where it could happen next.

Example workflow

Start with your acquisition criteria, not a spreadsheet.

  1. A builder searches

    • San Jose
    • Multifamily
    • 4–20 potential units
    • Under $3M
    • Transit accessible

  2. DealHutch scans

    • Parcels
    • Existing property use
    • Zoning
    • Planning activity
    • Permit history

  3. DealHutch surfaces

    • 143 potential sites

  4. Builder investigates

    • 12 high-priority opportunities

The goal is less manual property research before deeper due diligence — not a replacement for it.

The property graph

Built on the property, not the spreadsheet.

DealHutch connects fragmented records around a property so changes can be understood in context.

Our advantage is property intelligence and the signals derived from it — not a contact database.
