Case Study: Leading Real Estate Broker achieves higher commissions and targeted new leads with ATTOM Building Permit Data

Building Permit Data for Real Estate Brokers

Leading Real Estate Broker, a residential brokerage facing intense competition and low entry barriers, needed better market intelligence to win listings, justify valuations, and find high‑value prospects. They turned to ATTOM and its building permit data to gain timely, property‑level insight into renovations and construction activity across their target markets.

ATTOM delivered standardized building permit data (covering over 200 million permits and 94% of top U.S. cities) via its bulk property data licensing solution with monthly updates, allowing the broker to integrate data directly into their systems. Using ATTOM, the firm built targeted prospect lists, identified remodels and high‑commission properties, improved valuation accuracy and buyer trust, reduced manual research time, and grew their business and commissions over an eight‑month period.
