Anyone Using Property Shark?
I am thinking of starting my search for a house in Broooklyn. I was wondering if anyone out there has used Prop Shark and would they recommend all the search options. PShark has a few search options but the cost is about $900/yr. Things like ownerships, foreclosures, comparables etc. Is this worth it or is…

Isn’t all this information public information anyway?
thanks in advance,

I’ve been using Property Shark for a very long time and have always gone the ‘free account’ route. This does limit the number of property reports you can access to one per day, but if you plan it right, this doesn’t present too great a problem. You can also email property reports to yourself at no cost. And you can also find useful information on the Department of Buildings NY website. Just type in the address and area, and all kinds of stuff pops up, including C of O information, open violations, etc. Otherwise I echo Maly: Nothing beats Streeteasy for price and up-to-date information.
i would do Streeteasy ($10/month); it’s not as complete as Property shark, but a better value. With a free account, you can get a property report a day on PS, which should be good enough for your purposes.
