Signal Intelligence

Four Erie County signals.
One clearer queue.

Nestiq matches Erie County records to parcels, then surfaces tax distress, probate, long tenure, and absentee signals inside a ranked residential opportunity queue.

Signal Compounding

Signals compound,
not just add.

Illustrative progression only. When multiple matched signals appear on the same parcel, the property usually rises in priority and carries more reason context.

Tax Distress

Public records hide in plain sight.

Erie County publishes tax foreclosure lists, delinquent tax rolls, and lis pendens filings in public records. Most operators never see them — Nestiq ingests them automatically.

We match each filing to a specific parcel by address and ownership, then surface the event in your workspace with context: filing type, date, and parcel detail.

Tax distress is one of the clearest time-sensitive signals in the Erie County pilot, so it appears early in the queue when matched cleanly.

Probate / Estate

The most motivated sellers don't always know they're selling.

Probate and estate transfers create motivated seller situations where heirs, executors, and estate administrators often want to move quickly. These are time-sensitive and rarely appear on the MLS.

Nestiq ingests probate docket activity and estate-related records, matches them to parcel records, and surfaces the event in the queue with date and parcel context.

Probate is often one of the clearest urgency signals in the pilot, especially when paired with tax distress or absentee ownership.

Long Tenure

Long ownership creates latent motivation.

Owners who have held a property for 15+ years have often accumulated significant equity — and significant life changes. Tenure is computed from the deed date on every parcel record.

On its own, long tenure signals opportunity, not urgency. Combined with tax distress or probate, it's one of the strongest predictors of seller motivation in our dataset.

We compute tenure in years for every parcel and use it as one of the parcel features that helps sort the queue.

Absentee Owner

Absent owners are reachable owners.

An absentee owner is someone whose mailing address — where tax bills are sent — differs materially from the property address. This is a strong indicator of investor-owned property, inherited property, or relocation.

Nestiq computes absentee status by comparing ownership mailing addresses against parcel addresses at enrichment time.

Absentee status does not decide the whole rank on its own, but it adds useful outreach context when paired with tax distress, probate, or long tenure.
