The Biggest Time-Suck in CRE Just Died

Ownership Research Just Changed
From Discovery to Discussion in Minutes
Welcome back to On The Ground, your CRE newsletter powered by DealGround.
What We’ve Always Known
Ownership research has always been one of the biggest productivity drains in commercial real estate.
Jumping between title records, entity filings, and recorded deeds
Tracking down managing members, trustees, and agents
Hunting for phone numbers that rarely worked
Losing hours — sometimes entire days — before making a single meaningful call
For many brokers, this meant spending more time researching than actually talking to owners. You know the pain points:
Manual and disconnected workflows
Incomplete or inaccurate data
Lost momentum and wasted hours prospecting
Expensive tools that still required heavy lifting
Even with newer platforms and databases, the process has remained binary: the information was either right or completely wrong, and when it was wrong, you were back to square one.
What Changed: Automated Ownership Research
DealGround’s new Automated Ownership Research replaces scattered workflows with a single-click process.
Instead of bouncing across multiple websites, users can launch research directly from a property or list — and let the system compile the results in minutes.
What you get:
Decision-maker names
Direct phone numbers
Email addresses
Associated individuals and partners
LinkedIn profiles
Entity relationships
Source notes and verification links
The result is clear, documented ownership intelligence — not guesswork.
Why Speed Changes the Game
When ownership research becomes instant:
You reach decision makers faster
You increase call volume without increasing hours
One listing can turn into dozens of related owner conversations
Prospecting scales without the usual friction
Users are already leveraging it to build targeted owner lists across trade areas or property types in minutes — something that used to take days or weeks.
The Big Shift
The difference now is how quickly you can move from information to action.
The brokers who excel aren’t just working harder — they’re removing friction between research and outreach.
Automated Ownership Research is designed to make prospecting look the way it should have all along: fast, clean, reliable, and actionable.
Don’t get left behind. Log in and test it out. Watch the ownership record appear as you’ve never seen before.
DealGround. Built by Experts, For Experts.
Happy hunting. LFG!
