The research question comes first
A property can pass a filter.
And still miss the brief.
Recorded acreage is not usable land. An owner name is not a verified decision-maker. A zoning label is not confirmation of a permitted use.
Source & Acre helps acquisition teams examine those differences. We build focused property datasets and research notes, with the sources, exclusions and open questions attached.

Research at the level
your decision requires.

A dataset your team can use
Structured records, clear field definitions and source references, delivered in an agreed format.
A practical starting point
Industrial property.
With the yard in view.
Our initial focus is industrial outdoor storage and small-bay property with yard space. These searches make the gap between a database match and a usable site especially clear.
Each brief defines its own markets and criteria. We assess the available sources before committing to coverage.
