Reach the owner before the lease is in play
Prowlr watches county recorder filings, building permits, and CMBS maturity schedules across your submarkets and scores every owner and tenant on timing. You see the deal window open, the public document that opened it, and the reason it scored. Then you call first.
Brokers win on timing, not lists.
A purchased lead list is a snapshot of yesterday. By the time it lands, the lease has already entered its window, the incumbent landlord has already called, and a competing broker is already on the assignment. The deal was never about the name. It was about being early. Prowlr is built around the one thing a list cannot give you: the moment a tenant starts weighing renew, restack, or relocate, the moment a permit is filed, the moment a note approaches maturity. That is when outreach lands, and that is what we score.
Public records in. Scored targets out.
One loop, pointed at four public feeds. Prowlr ingests county recorder filings, building permits aggregated across 1,800+ jurisdictions, county assessor records, and SEC EDGAR CMBS reporting. It cross-references ownership against lease timing, attaches a numeric score and a plain verdict to every record, and writes the reason in language a broker reads in one pass. No black box. You see why a target scored the way it did and exactly which public document triggered it, all the way back to the parcel and the filing date.
Commercial Real Estate intelligence, answered.
When should a broker contact a tenant about an expiring lease?
The tenant-rep window opens 12 to 18 months before expiration, when occupiers start weighing renew, restack, or relocate. Reach them inside that window and you have room to compete for the assignment; reach them after and the incumbent landlord already owns the conversation. Prowlr flags a lease the moment it crosses that threshold using recorded lease memoranda and assessor records, and shows you the exact filing that triggered the score.
What public records reveal commercial real estate opportunities before they hit the market?
Four sources, all public. County recorder filings (deeds, mortgages, recorded memoranda of lease) expose ownership and lease timing. Building permits across 1,800+ jurisdictions show tenant-improvement and construction activity. County assessor data carries ownership and assessed value. SEC EDGAR CMBS servicer reports carry loan maturity dates. Read together, they tell you a transaction is coming before a listing exists. Prowlr reads all four continuously and links every signal back to the document it came from.
How do building permits help with CRE prospecting?
A commercial or tenant-improvement permit is a buyer-intent signal with a date on it. It names who is doing work, the scope, and the asset. A new TI permit on a Class A building usually means active re-leasing or repositioning, which is a timely reason for a landlord-rep or tenant-rep broker to reach out before the opportunity is widely known. Prowlr scores permit filings in your submarkets and surfaces the contractor and asset on each one.
How does CMBS maturity create opportunities for brokers and advisors?
A maturing CMBS note forces a decision: refinance, recapitalize, sell, or hand it back. SEC EDGAR servicer reporting makes those maturity dates public, including watchlist and special-servicer flags. A broker or debt advisor who knows a $24M office note matures in Q3 2026 can open the conversation while the owner is still weighing options. Prowlr tracks maturity schedules across your market and scores each note by how soon and how distressed it is.
Do I own the data Prowlr generates for my territory?
Yes. Prowlr is an engine you own, not a subscription to someone else's list. The scored records, the source-chain, and the territory coverage are yours, callable as a REST API and a live MCP server, on infrastructure you control. When the engagement ends, you keep the engine and everything it has built.
