Methodology
How the Research Is Built
The research starts broad, then gets more local and more verified as it goes. Every claim on this platform carries a classification, so you know how much weight it can hold in a client conversation.
- Step 1
Deep Research
A customized Google Gemini Deep Research report builds the initial city framework and flags what still needs to be verified.
- Step 2
Geography
Color coded community and tract maps establish where everything actually sits before any conclusions get drawn.
- Step 3
Housing Product
Builders, development eras, communities, tracts, and floor plans get researched. InsideTract is used selectively.
- Step 4
Authoritative Verification
The facts that matter are checked against city, county, school district, HOA, developer, planning, tax, and other primary sources.
- Step 5
MLS Evidence
MLS data shows what buyers and sellers are doing now, not what they were doing a few years ago.
- Step 6
Physical Context
Road noise, topography, views, orientation, lot position, privacy, and streetscape don't show up in a spreadsheet. They take local context.
- Step 7
Client Application
All of it should end up improving the advice a buyer or seller actually gets.
Durable vs. Dynamic Market Knowledge
Not all market knowledge changes at the same speed. Structural information is worth learning deeply and holding onto. Dynamic information has to be dated and refreshed.
Durable Market Knowledge
How a market was built and how it's physically organized. It changes slowly, and it's where real local expertise comes from.
- Geography
- Development history
- Builders
- Housing product
- Tract layout
- Original floor plans
Dynamic Market Knowledge
Information that's only accurate as of a specific date or transaction. It should be dated, refreshed, and reverified before anyone relies on it.
- Active inventory
- Pricing
- Days on market
- Market statistics
- HOA dues
- Taxes
- Assessments
- School boundaries
- Insurance conditions
Knowledge Classifications
Verified Fact
Confirmed against a primary or authoritative source.
Market Observation
Backed by MLS evidence or direct local observation.
Reasonable Inference
A defensible conclusion drawn from the available evidence, and labeled that way.
Needs Verification
Believed to be true but not confirmed yet. Treated as open research.
What This Means in Practice
- Dynamic information is dated on the page where it appears.
- Current information should be reverified before it's used in a transaction.
- School assignments are address specific and have to be confirmed with the district.
- HOA dues change. Any figure shown carries an as of date.
- Property taxes and assessments are property specific.
- Individual property conditions require the appropriate professional investigation and inspection.
