The data your competitors don't see
Miami-Dade publishes its records every morning. ListoScore reads them the same day and puts every signal on this map.
17,000+
Distressed signals mapped right now
Every code lien, finance referral, and lis pendens across Miami-Dade — updated daily. These are motivated sellers who haven't decided to list yet. That's the window.
12,148
Active finance referral cases
Property owners already in county collections — accruing legal exposure daily with no attorney, no agent, and no one to call. ListoScore puts you in front of them the day the record is filed.
262,000+
Active building permits indexed
Every permit is a job that hasn't been claimed yet. Contractors, roofers, HVAC, electricians — the address, scope, and job value are in the record before any platform knows it exists.
Daily
Data refresh from county records
Miami-Dade updates its records every morning. ListoScore reads them the same day. You see new signals within 24 hours of filing — your competitor finds out three weeks later.
The system
How to turn a public record into a closed deal — in 4 steps
This is not theory. This is exactly how ListoScore Pro users work the pipeline every morning.
Pick your signal type
Code liens and finance referrals for investors and agents. Building permits for contractors. Lis pendens for attorneys and mortgage brokers. Each signal type maps to a profession — you filter to yours and see only what matters.
Use the role selector on the map and ListoScore pre-filters the relevant signal types for your profession automatically.
Read the distress score — prioritise in seconds
Every property with multiple overlapping signals gets a Distress Score from 0 to 30. The higher the number, the more pressure the owner is under. You don't need to read 50 cards — you sort by score and work the top 10.
Score 22+ = Critical. Score 15–21 = High. Score 1–14 = Active. Filter to Critical and you're working the most motivated owners in the county.
Get the full property picture before you call
Every signal card pulls the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser record inline — assessed value, last sale price, year built, equity estimate, and years held. You know the property's financial position before you dial. That's the credibility that gets callbacks.
Pro users also see the owner's mailing address with one-tap Copy — the most effective channel for motivated seller outreach.
Make first contact with a built-in outreach system
Every signal card includes a pre-written email, phone script, and SMS template — personalised to that specific property and signal type. You don't need to write a word. Copy, personalise with your name, send. First contact wins.
The scripts are written to lead with empathy and information, not a pitch — the approach that consistently outperforms generic sales outreach.
The pipeline math
This is a system. Systems produce predictable results.

From a single user working the pipeline
Unlike cold calling random lists, every signal you work is a documented, confirmed need. Response rates are 3–5× higher than cold outreach because you are solving a real, specific problem.
The compounding advantage
The professionals who build deal flow with ListoScore are not running campaigns — they are maintaining a pipeline. New signals appear every morning. The window between a signal appearing and a competitor finding it is measured in days. The professionals who check daily and contact within 7 days consistently outperform those who batch it weekly.

Common questions
What is a motivated seller, and how does ListoScore find them?▾
A motivated seller is a property owner who needs to sell — not just wants to. The most reliable indicators are legal and financial: a code lien accruing interest, a finance referral from the county, or a lis pendens filing that initiates foreclosure. ListoScore maps every one of these records across Miami-Dade in real time, surfacing them the day they are filed — months before any owner would consider listing.
Is this system only for real estate investors?▾
No. The same distress signals that produce motivated seller leads for investors also produce pre-listing leads for real estate agents, attorney clients for foreclosure and real estate attorneys, refinance opportunities for mortgage brokers, and compliance jobs for contractors. Every profession has a signal type that maps to their specific client need.
How is this different from buying leads on Zillow or a lead platform?▾
Bought leads are from homeowners who have already decided to act and submitted a form — which the platform sells to 4-5 competitors simultaneously. ListoScore signals precede the decision by weeks or months. You are not competing with five other professionals; you are often the only one who knows the situation exists.
Does ListoScore work for the whole Miami metro, or just the city?▾
ListoScore covers all of Miami-Dade County — from Miami and Hialeah to Homestead and Doral — plus Broward County permit and violation data. The map covers the full South Florida market.
How quickly do new signals appear on the map?▾
Most record types appear within 24–48 hours of being filed with the county. ListoScore syncs with Miami-Dade's data systems daily. For lis pendens, the lag is typically under 24 hours from the court filing.
