We're two builders
making property intelligence tools

Landset started with a gap we felt personally: the data that matters about a property is public, but it's scattered across a dozen systems and means nothing without context. No one knows if this house is typical for the neighborhood or an outlier — because no one compares.

One report. Built for homeowners, buyers, and agents who need answers — whether you're closing, renovating, or selling.

Three months after closing - after putting down every dollar they'd saved for that 20% - the cast iron plumbing gave out. Not a small leak. A full replumb. $35,000. They'd been talked out of the hydrostatic test during inspection. "Feel free to do the test, but it's likely a waste of money."

When Steve pulled permits for the neighborhood, his stomach dropped. Replumb after replumb. The same failing cast iron, house after house, all within a few blocks. The data was public. The pattern was obvious. Nobody had looked.

Steve had spent over a decade in product management at Fortune 500 companies - he knew what broken information systems looked like. This was one of them. The data existed. It just never reached the people who needed it most.

Insurance covered less than a third. The rest went on credit.

That's when frustration became Landset. If you've ever closed on a house and discovered something critical that was hiding in plain sight - or you're about to close and don't want to - this is the report you need.

Danny.

Danny and Steve have been brainstorming together since 6th grade. Thirty years later, they're still the first call when either has an idea worth exploring.

When they started talking about what homeowners actually need - not what the industry thinks they need - they kept coming back to one question: Why is critical property information so hard to find? Permits, yes - but also the patterns that reveal underlying issues and signal future problems. The kind of intelligence that should be in every buyer's hands before they close.

Steve had lived it. Danny saw the bigger picture: information that should be reaching homeowners and their agents, but wasn't. Not because it's secret, but because nobody's built the system to surface it.

That's what he's building from Arizona. Getting property intelligence - from permit history to neighborhood trends to risk indicators - into the conversations and documents where it can actually change outcomes. Making invisible information impossible to miss.

Because when you and your best friend see a gap this big, you don't just talk about it. You build it.
