The second a sound investment popped up, one of my clients made an offer, it was accepted and we closed in 4 weeks.

.-  The data seems just as good as Propstream in the markets I tested (mostly Portland, OR and Phoenix, AZ). -  Estimated Values from Propwire are similar to Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com -  You can search for specific properties by address. -  You can download up to 10,000 properties at a time, and I've downloaded multiple large lists.
