Common questions
- What is a farm report?
- A geographic-farming prospecting report for one ZIP code, built for real-estate agents. It ranks the households most likely to list soon (top 50 per county, scored 0–100 with every point explained), shows the market picture — turnover, hold times, investor and absentee ownership — and compares the ZIP to its neighbors, so you know where your marketing dollars work hardest.
- Where does the data come from?
- Public county appraisal rolls and recorded deed records — for ZIP 78957, the Bastrop county appraisal data shown in the coverage note on this page. Every number is computed from the records themselves; nothing is estimated or purchased from a data broker. Texas does not disclose sale prices, so values are county appraisal values.
- Are all property owners included?
- No. Owners whose records are confidential under Texas Tax Code §25.025 (judges, peace officers, crime victims, and others) are excluded from the report entirely, and the report is not a consumer report — it may not be used for tenant, employment, or credit screening.
