ClearTitle

Due diligence, recorded and stamped

How do I know this deal is real?

The wire instructions are in your inbox and the promoter says spots close Friday. Before a dollar moves, ClearTitle puts the deal to the public record: is the house really his, was the mortgage ever recorded, has the SEC heard of this offering and how many other investors hold paper on the same address. One plain-English risk score, stamped in under 60 seconds.

60+ investors wired $11M to the "Cash Flow King." He was paying on time too, until he wasn't. One 60-second check of the county record would have caught it.

Schedule of verifications

County records check

We confirm the mortgage securing your note is really recorded with the county recorder. Motil never recorded a single one.

SEC registration

We check whether the offering is registered with the SEC or claims a valid exemption. Motil's notes were unregistered securities.

Property valuation

We compare the note against independent appraisals. One $130,000 house carried $1.3M in notes, ten times its maximum value.

Multi-lien detection

We detect when multiple investors are pledged the same collateral. Twenty investors shared one house.

Risk score report

Four checks roll into a weighted 0 to 100 score with a plain verdict. The Motil deal scores 92. Do not invest.

Monitoring alerts

After you invest, we keep watching for new liens, valuation drops and SEC enforcement actions against the promoter. The day one appears, you get an alert.

The proof

Watch the Motil deal fail all four checks.

The interactive demo replays the real Cash Flow King case file: three stamped failures, one warning and a 92/100 risk score in 41.3 seconds. Then run the clean deal next to it and see what a real one looks like.

Questions of record

What is ClearTitle?

ClearTitle checks a private real estate deal against the public record before you invest: county recording, SEC registration, property valuation and lien status, rolled into one plain-English risk score. It is the check Motil's 60+ investors were told they didn't need.

How does the risk score work?

We run 4 parallel checks (county records, SEC registration, property valuation and lien search) and compute a weighted composite score from 0 to 100. Green (0 to 30) means low risk, yellow (31 to 70) means proceed with caution and red (71 to 100) means do not invest without further verification.

What does it cost?

The Free tier includes 2 verifications per month. Pro at $29 per month adds unlimited verifications, monitoring alerts and PDF export. Advisor at $99 per month adds bulk verification, white-label reports and client sharing.

What data sources do you use?

ClearTitle is being built on county recorder APIs, SEC EDGAR, automated valuation models (AVMs) and public lien databases. Checks are designed to run in parallel and return in under 60 seconds.
