Property research loop

The web app’s chat is the quick way to ask a question. The property research loop is the deeper flow: give Locus an address and what you’re trying to decide, and get back a single cited report you can act on — with the option to keep the property’s record file current afterward.

Status: the report loop is being built. Today the web app answers in chat (cited, sourced); the compiled async report and in-browser checkout are planned. This page describes how it will work so the shape is clear.

What you give it

• An address or area.
• Your intent — acquisition diligence, ongoing operations, a lease decision, a renter’s before-you-sign check.

What it returns

A cited report assembled from the official lanes that matter for your intent — parcel facts, flood, property tax (and the practical estimated annual tax), permits and development cases, environmental records, governing districts, what’s nearby — each fact linked to its government source, with a clear list of what to verify next. No scores, no valuations, no verdicts.

What happens after

You can optionally convert the report into ongoing record-file tracking: Locus re-checks the same official sources and emails you only what is newly posted. Public records only, double opt-in, cancel anytime.

Boundaries

Every claim in a report is bound to a retrieved record — nothing is invented — and a deterministic safety pass blocks any score, verdict, valuation, legal, or screening output before it can reach you. See Safety & boundaries.
