Honest comparison

When PropertyShark is the better choice

PropertyShark is the right tool for a real set of jobs. The honest list:

You work primarily in NYC or its core metros

PropertyShark's depth in New York City and a handful of major metros — building-level records, title history, zoning detail — is hard to beat. If your buy box is concentrated there, that depth matters more than nationwide breadth.

You need detailed title and lien research

PropertyShark surfaces recorded documents, liens, and ownership chains for due-diligence work. CRE Finder gives you ownership and contact data to start a conversation, not a full title abstract.

Your work is parcel-by-parcel research, not outreach

If you're pulling one-off property reports for valuation or legal work rather than building a calling list, PropertyShark's report format fits that job better than a sourcing-and-outreach workflow.

Go nationwide — and reach the owner.
