THE THREE TIERS

Urgency you can price.

Every lead is classified by how time-sensitive the opportunity is โ€” and priced accordingly. Tier 3 leads are the ones your competitors haven't found yet.

1ร—
Every lead is sold exactly once.
The moment you purchase a lead, it's removed from inventory permanently โ€” no other buyer will ever see it. You're never bidding against your own competitors for the same property.
Tier 1
Early Signal
Estate or ownership change detected. Likely 6โ€“18 months from sale.
Typical Signals
  • Recent death of titled owner
  • Out-of-state heir identified
  • Property reported vacant
  • No will on file
  • Absentee ownership pre-dating death
$26โ€“225*per lead (USDC)
Tier 2
Active Distress
Multiple compounding signals. Owner under real financial or legal pressure.
Typical Signals
  • Property tax delinquency, 1โ€“2 years
  • Active contractor or HOA lien
  • Multiple out-of-state heirs
  • Mortgage in default
  • Code violations or expired permits
$49โ€“405*per lead (USDC)
Tier 3
Critical Window
Forced-sale risk is real and imminent. The deal your competitors haven't found.
Typical Signals
  • Tax lien sale pending (3+ years delinquent)
  • Active foreclosure filing
  • Estate insolvency
  • Disputed or intestate heirship
  • Demolition order or active bankruptcy
$110โ€“900*per lead (USDC)
* Why prices vary within each tier: the exact price of any lead depends on the property's estimated value and how many distress signals it carries โ€” a higher-value property or one with multiple compounding signals (e.g., both a tax lien and an active foreclosure filing) prices toward the top of the range shown. You'll always see the exact price for a specific lead before you pay.

New to digital wallets? Here's what "Send USDC" actually means.

A digital wallet is an app โ€” on your phone or computer โ€” that holds digital dollars and lets you send them, the same way a banking app holds and sends regular dollars. USDC is a digital dollar: one USDC is designed to always equal one US dollar, so there's no guessing at exchange rates or value swings. It just moves like cash, but over the internet instead of through a bank.

When you're ready to buy, EstateTrace gives you a one-time payment address โ€” built specifically for your order, on the Base network. You open your wallet app, paste in that address, enter the amount shown, and send it โ€” much like a bank wire, but it usually confirms in seconds rather than days.

Why this is actually cheaper and faster than the alternative: the Base network is built specifically to keep transaction costs low โ€” a typical payment costs a few cents or less in network fees, regardless of whether you're sending $30 or $900. Compare that to a traditional wire transfer, which often runs $15โ€“30 and can take a full business day to clear. With USDC on Base, the fee doesn't scale with the size of your purchase, and the money moves the moment you hit send โ€” there's no waiting on banking hours or processing windows.

Don't have a wallet yet? Setting one up takes a few minutes through providers like Coinbase or Coinbase Wallet, and EstateTrace's chat assistant will walk you through it step by step โ€” including how to fund it from a debit card or bank account โ€” the first time you're ready to buy.
