Tab Tab Labs

County source intelligence for acquisition teams doing 10+ deals/mo

Every seller lead traced to its county filing.

Tab Tab Labs turns raw public records into market-exclusive seller feeds with field-level provenance: source PDF, retrieval time, normalization notes, and the exact reason each lead made the list.

Exclusive market data

Bad data does not just waste mail. It rots your acquisition pipeline.

Across a 12+ month analysis of 50,000+ real investor calls across 100+ companies, we found 2,000+ conversations where the issue was not sales skill. It was bad upstream data: already-sold properties, wrong owners, wrong phone numbers, wrong addresses, wrong property records, and people who never owned the asset.

Those calls wasted 300+ hours of acquisition-team phone time. At normal direct-mail response assumptions, those conversations pointed to roughly $90k-$175k+ in inferred mailed spend exposed to records that likely should have been suppressed, verified, or sourced differently before the campaign went out.

Directional market evidence, not an audited invoice allocation.

Method note: rounded public phrasing from a 12+ month CallRail bad-data analysis. The exact mailed-waste range is inferred from normal direct-mail response assumptions, not invoice-level spend allocation.

Rep impact Dead-end call, CRM trust reduced
Source problem Vendor row had no retained document

01

Document-level county signals

We monitor the specific filings, notices, releases, liens, deeds, judgments, and transfer records that create the signal behind a broad seller category.

02

Distress stack plus buy-box fit

One county event can be noise. Multiple related signals can become an acquisition opportunity when they fit the team's market and property criteria.

03

Field-level provenance

Each record can carry source reference, retrieval time, extracted fields, normalization notes, reason selected, and automated QA status.

04

Tool-ready delivery

Start with a live Google Sheet, or hand off into Salesforce, Left Main-style workflows, REsimpli, Podio, Follow Up Boss, or another acquisition system.

The process

From county record to CRM-ready seller feed.

You should not have to hire a data team, scrape county sites manually, or ask reps to trust a black-box list. Tab Tab Labs turns county documents into verified, daily-refreshed seller intelligence your team can use inside its existing acquisition workflow.

  1. Market review Enter your target county so we can pre-check available source coverage before the call. Book a Free Pilot Demo →
  2. Source and fit model We map buy-box criteria, monitor county records daily, and track the document families that create the seller signal.
  3. Normalize, stack, and QA Raw records become source-retained seller intelligence with reason codes, freshness checks, buyer-box fit, and automated QA.
  4. Deliver and protect The feed lands in your workflow, then active counties stay protected so the same source-backed file is not resold to competitors.

Market protection

If competitors can buy the same file, it is not an edge.

Tab Tab Labs works with one acquisition team per county so the feed does not become another commodity list sold across your market.

County status Protected after pilot fit

Open counties are reviewed before the call. Taken counties are not presented as exclusive to two competing teams.

  • Source coverage verified
  • Access locked to your team
  • Competitor feed blocked
  • Chain of custody logged

Questions serious operators ask before trusting a new data source

FAQ

Can we verify where each lead came from?

Yes. Every lead is designed to carry field-level provenance: source document reference, retrieval timestamp, extracted fields, normalization notes, reason selected, distress-stack summary, buyer-box fit notes, and automated QA status.

How is this different from 8020REI, PropertyRadar, or DistressIQ?

Those platforms surface categories or scoring summaries. Tab Tab Labs starts one layer deeper: the specific county filing, lien, deed, or notice that creates the signal, with the source document retained and the retrieval time logged. You can check where the record came from instead of trusting a score.

How fresh is the data?

County sources are checked daily. Some county systems publish faster than others, so freshness is checked at the source rather than guessed from a stale reseller database timestamp.

What does the pilot include?

We check available source coverage for your target county, build an initial source-verified sample feed, and run a specific-market demo call around your buy box and acquisition workflow. If the county fits and you want to proceed, we set up daily monitoring and protect the county for your team.

What does it cost?

We do not publish list pricing because county exclusivity means pricing varies by market density and coverage. Discussed on the call.

Do we need to change CRMs?

No. The feed can start as a Google Sheet and then move into the acquisition workflow your team already uses, including Salesforce, REsimpli, Podio, Follow Up Boss, or a custom CRM handoff.

Can you guarantee deals?

No. We can improve the freshness, provenance, and quality of the seller records entering your pipeline. Closed deals still depend on your market, offer, timing, speed-to-lead, follow-up, and execution.
