LeadCounty vs PropertyRadar: who should choose which.
LeadCounty vs PropertyRadar: choose PropertyRadar if you want to watch many properties or areas for changes, especially foreclosures in the western states; choose LeadCounty if you work one to a few counties and want each county's own records every week, with at most 10 investors per county.
PropertyRadar is strongest at watching: set criteria on an area or a list and it alerts you when something changes, with foreclosure and auction tracking that is deepest in five western states. Contacts, mail and a dialer are part of the account.
LeadCounty also watches, but county by county: it reads each county's own files every week, sends a Monday e-mail with every new match, and alerts you when a watched property gets a new deed, a tax change or a court or code case. Each county is capped at 10 investors. It covers 99 counties in 27 states, including the Ohio, Texas, Florida and Midwest counties it collects from the source.
LeadCounty has a 7-day free trial (a trial, not a free plan), so you can test your own county next to PropertyRadar.

Three differences that change your results.
- 01
National coverage or county depth
PropertyRadar covers all 50 states from assessor and recorder data and says its auction and trustee tracking is deepest in five western states. LeadCounty covers fewer counties, but each one is built from that county's own offices, including the treasurer's payment history and, where published, court and city code records.
- 02
Who else works the county
PropertyRadar has no limit on subscribers per county. LeadCounty seats at most 10 investors per county, so the owners on your stacked list are not the same owners every subscriber in town is mailing.
- 03
Per user or per county
PropertyRadar prices by user and contact credits: Solo is one user. LeadCounty prices by county and includes 2 seats on Pro and 3 on Team, with no contact credits because it has no built-in contact data.
Who should still choose PropertyRadar
Choose PropertyRadar if you work foreclosures in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon or Washington, or if you want to monitor many areas nationwide with contacts and mail built in.
- Monitoring and alerts on any property or area
- Deep foreclosure and auction tracking in five western states
- Contacts, mail and a dialer in one account
- 300+ search criteria

How a LeadCounty county list is built.
- Step 1
Collect
Every week we download each county's own files: the auditor or appraiser roll, the treasurer's tax bills and payments, the recorder's deeds, and court and city code records where the county publishes them.
- Step 2
Join and check
The files are joined by parcel, names and addresses are cleaned, and each county's numbers are checked against the week before before anything is published.
- Step 3
Score and explain
Every property gets a likely-to-sell score from 1 to 10 learned from that county's own sales, with its top reasons in plain words, and lands on the seller lists it matches.
- Step 4
Deliver
New matches show in New this week and your Monday e-mail; you stack lists, open the property file, and export one row per property for mail or skip tracing.
Using LeadCounty and PropertyRadar together.
If you already monitor areas in PropertyRadar, add LeadCounty for the counties where you want the county's own tax-payment history, inheritance deeds and code cases, and the weekly scored list of new seller signals.
LeadCounty vs PropertyRadar: questions.
Does LeadCounty send alerts like PropertyRadar?
Yes, for the counties you have. Save any search and get its new matches every Monday at 7 am; watch a property and get an e-mail when it gets a new deed, tax change, court case or code case.
Does LeadCounty track foreclosures?
Where the county or its courts publish them: foreclosure cases, sheriff and tax sales and tax liens become seller lists and alerts. Each county page lists which records it has and their dates.
Is LeadCounty available in California?
Not yet. LeadCounty covers 99 counties in 27 states and adds counties on request; the counties page lists every live county.
How many users does LeadCounty include?
Pro includes 2 seats, Team 3, and extra seats are $39 a month on any plan. Team members share leads, notes and follow-ups.
Does LeadCounty include owner phone numbers?
No. It gives the owner of record and the mailing address from the county tax roll. Export a skip-trace file to add phones with the service you prefer.
