Get Curbnote.
Curbnote surfaces public-record red flags on every Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com listing. It is free while the beta is running: no cap, no card, just an email address to sign in with.
Free while the beta is running. Your first home needs no account; after that, sign in with your email. No card needed. Or check an address without installing anything.
Paste a Zillow, Redfin, or Realtor.com link, or type an address, and see what public records say. Right here, no install.
Coverage is deepest in Maryland and DC, where property records are statewide. Virginia has no statewide assessor, so tax and assessment history depend on the locality; Curbnote says so in the sidebar rather than leaving you to wonder.
Curbnote reports on properties, not people. It surfaces what public records can show, which is not everything that can be wrong with a house, and it is not a substitute for an inspection.
