House History Reports,
Title Searches & More

The easiest way to look up house history is to search the property address on Reveal Estate. Our HouseFax reports pull data from county records, public databases, and proprietary sources to compile a complete property history — including every recorded sale, deed transfer, building permit, lien, and ownership change. You can browse properties on our listings page and order a report for any address.

Absolutely. Reveal Estate lets you search house history by address. Simply enter any street address, ZIP code, or city on our search page and we will pull the full property record. Each HouseFax report includes the complete title chain, permit history, ownership timeline, and more — all organized by address so you can trace the history of any home.

A Reveal Estate HouseFax report includes the complete permit history for a property — every building permit on file with the county, including electrical, plumbing, roofing, and structural work, along with dates, estimated values, and sign-off status. If major renovations were done without permits, the report will show a gap between visible improvements and recorded permits, helping you spot potential unpermitted work before you buy.

Reveal Estate pulls all recorded liens, mortgages, lis pendens, judgments, and satisfactions from county records and includes them in every HouseFax report. Each report also provides a clear title health verdict — Clean, Needs Review, or Red Flags — so you can quickly assess whether there are encumbrances that could complicate your purchase. This is far faster than searching county clerk records manually.

Before buying a house, you should review the title chain for clean ownership, check for open liens or judgments, verify that all renovations have permits, review neighborhood crime and safety data, assess flood and climate risk, and compare the asking price to recent comparable sales. A Reveal Estate HouseFax report covers all of these areas in a single document, saving you the hours of research it would take to check each one manually.

Property due diligence means verifying every material fact about a home before committing to a purchase. This includes title searches, permit verification, lien checks, ownership history, tax record review, and neighborhood analysis. Reveal Estate automates this entire process — your HouseFax report pulls from county records and public databases to produce a comprehensive due diligence document for any property, delivered instantly after you search an address.

A title search is one of the most important steps in buying a home. It reveals the chain of ownership, outstanding liens, judgments, easements, and any clouds on the title that could affect your legal right to the property. While your lender will require a title search at closing, running your own title search early — using a tool like Reveal Estate — helps you identify issues before you are deep into the transaction and potentially lose your earnest money deposit.

Florida property records are public and can be accessed through individual county property appraiser and clerk of court websites. However, each county uses a different system, and piecing together title, permit, and ownership data across multiple sites is time-consuming. Reveal Estate consolidates Florida property records into a single HouseFax report — pulling from the property appraiser, clerk of court, and permit databases so you get everything in one place.
