1031 & 1033 Prospect Intelligence

Finding the right property owners at the right time

Data Research Solutions combines property, ownership, transaction, public-record, infrastructure, deed, and court research to identify property owners with a timely potential need for tax-deferral, replacement-property, legal, brokerage, or advisory services.

We focus on the events that make an owner worth contacting — not generic lists.

1031 Prospects

We can identify owners who are:

  • Likely to list high-value investment property in the coming months
  • Currently selling high-value property
  • Recently sold within a customized time period
  • Showing significant Estimated Gross Appreciation
  • Associated with high-value transactions even when prior purchase data is incomplete

1033 / Eminent Domain Prospects

We can identify owners who are:

  • Affected by upcoming road, utility, transmission, pipeline, or other infrastructure acquisitions
  • Entering or approaching the ROW/acquisition process
  • Subject to partial or whole-property takings, easements, access impacts, displacement, and other acquisition impacts
  • Already involved in condemnation proceedings
  • Receiving or negotiating significant acquisition payments, settlements, or awards

Available Enrichment

Leads can include:

  • Owner / seller name
  • Mailing information
  • Property and parcel information
  • Phone and email
  • Corporate decision-maker information
  • Property value and transaction amounts
  • Acquisition / sale timing
  • Estimated Gross Appreciation
  • Project and condemnation information
  • Settlement / purchase amounts where available

Criteria can be customized by geography, value, transaction timing, appreciation, project timing, property type, and other client-specific factors.

1031 Prospect Intelligence

Identify owners before, during, and after a sale. The most valuable 1031 lead is not simply someone who owns investment property — it is someone with a reason to act now.

Stage 1

Likely to List

High-value, non-owner-occupied properties that are not currently for sale but fall into the highest predictive range for likelihood of listing within approximately the next six months.

Predictive signals

  • Property characteristics
  • Ownership history
  • Mortgage and equity information
  • Valuation data
  • Public records
  • Market activity

ValueReach potential sellers before the property is actively marketed.

Stage 2

Currently Selling

Properties that are Active, Contingent, or Pending. Current asking price can be compared with available recorded acquisition history to identify owners with potentially significant appreciation.

Statuses

  • Active
  • Contingent
  • Pending

ValueThese owners are already in the disposition process and may have an immediate need for exchange planning.

Stage 3

Recently Sold

We can identify sellers whose properties have closed within a selected time period, including the last 90 days.

Timeframes

  • Closed within last 90 days
  • Customizable time window

ValueThese owners may already be pursuing an exchange or actively seeking replacement-property opportunities.

Estimated Gross Appreciation

One of the most useful components of the data is our ability to estimate the financial significance of a potential transaction. Depending on the lead stage, we can compare:

Likely to ListEstimated Value vs. Recorded Prior Purchase
Currently SellingListing Price vs. Recorded Prior Purchase
Recently SoldSale Price vs. Recorded Prior Purchase
Estimated Gross Appreciation is a prospecting metric, not taxable gain or adjusted tax basis.

Example

Property currently listed for$14,000,000
Recorded prior purchase$4,000,000
Estimated Gross Appreciation$10,000,000

This makes it possible to prioritize owners who may have the greatest financial incentive to explore tax-deferral and replacement-property options.

Lead Prioritization

Prospects can be ranked using both timing and financial significance, for example:

  1. 1Sold within the last 90 days with $5M+ confirmed gross appreciation
  2. 2Currently listed with $5M+ gross appreciation
  3. 3High-value recent sale where appreciation is not yet known
  4. 4High-value current listing where prior purchase information needs additional research
  5. 5Likely-to-list owner with $5M+ estimated gross appreciation

1033 & Eminent Domain Prospect Intelligence

Opportunities conventional property databases can miss. 1033 opportunities require a very different approach from traditional real-estate lead generation.

Conventional Database

What it may tell you

A conventional property database may tell you what a property is worth or when it last sold. It may not tell you that the owner is about to receive a substantial payment because of:

  • A highway widening
  • A new road
  • Transmission or utility ROW
  • Pipeline acquisition
  • Easement
  • Partial taking
  • Loss or modification of access
  • Displacement
  • Severance or other acquisition impacts
  • Negotiated condemnation settlement
  • Court award

DRS Research

We can identify

Our research combines multiple sources to identify these events — allowing clients to identify prospects before, during, and after an involuntary acquisition:

  • Upcoming infrastructure projects
  • Affected properties and owners
  • Anticipated ROW/acquisition timing
  • Type and extent of the taking
  • Property value
  • Deed-confirmed acquisitions
  • Condemnation filings and court activity
  • Known settlement, award, or purchase amounts
  • Owner contact information
The 1033 Difference

The transaction may never look like a real-estate sale

This is where traditional property and transaction databases can significantly underestimate the opportunity. Consider a property that appears in conventional data as:

Estimated property value

$300,000

Acquisition / settlement compensation

$10,000,000

The underlying property may not even be sold in full. The payment could arise from a partial taking, an easement, access impacts, displacement, severance damages, negotiated compensation, or a condemnation settlement or award. The owner may continue to own the remaining property — meaning there may never be a conventional $10 million property sale for a standard transaction database to detect.

Our Advantage — DRS can combine:

  • Infrastructure-project research
  • ROW and acquisition data
  • Property and ownership records
  • Deed research
  • Condemnation and court records
  • Settlement and award research

to identify both the property owner and the event creating the potential proceeds.

More Than a 1033 Opportunity

Active real-estate investors
Commercial property owners
Potential replacement-property buyers
Future 1031 clients
Potential DST or NNN prospects
Candidates for tax, legal, brokerage & investment services

Many owners receiving condemnation proceeds are also future 1031, DST, NNN, and advisory prospects.
