How to use CurbScope

CurbScope runs entirely in your phone's browser — there's no app to download. It needs three permissions, each doing one job: the camera is the view itself, your location tells CurbScope where you're standing, and motion & compass access tells it which way you're pointing.

1. 1Open curbscope.ai on your phone and tap 'Open the camera.'
2. 2iPhone: when Safari asks for Motion & Orientation access, tap Allow — that's the compass.
3. 3Allow camera access when your browser asks.
4. 4Allow location access — and make sure it's precise (GPS-level), not approximate.

• Cards landing on the wrong homes usually means approximate location — fix it with the precise location guide.
• Tired of the camera prompt on iPhone? In Safari tap the aA menu → Website Settings → Camera → Allow, and CurbScope opens with zero prompts from then on.
• Denied a permission by accident? Browsers won't re-ask on their own — the same guide shows where to re-enable it in Settings.

CurbScope shines out in the world: walking a neighborhood, pointing at homes as you pass. It works from a balcony or terrace too — switch to the Balcony preset in View Settings when you're looking down from up high. In a car it works best at slower speeds from the passenger seat; if you're the one driving, keep your eyes on the road and let a passenger do the pointing.

Point at a home and a glass card floats over it: the property type (blue dot for single-family, purple for condo, teal for townhouse, amber for multifamily), the address, the owner's name, and the last sale price and year. The small arrow under a card points at the home it belongs to.

Tap a card and the full detail sheet slides up: the owner, what they paid and when, home facts (beds, baths, living area, lot size, year built), assessed value, sales history — and the deeper lookups covered below.

• Free includes 1,000 property detail views a month — map and AR browsing never counts; paid plans remove the limit — see pricing.
• Too many cards at once? Filter by property type, or turn the density down in View Settings.

Tap 'View Settings' at the top of the camera view. Presets match where you are: Walking (the default — close range, steady cards), Driving (longer range, for the passenger seat), Balcony (for looking down from up high), and Custom (your saved mix).

The sliders are plain English: how many properties to show, how far to look, card size, stability, and how much cards can overlap. CurbScope also switches between Walking and Driving automatically based on your speed — turn off 'Automatic switching' if you'd rather it didn't.

• Found a mix you like? 'Save as custom' keeps it under the Custom preset.
• 'Reset to defaults' puts everything back if the view ever feels off.
• More detail in the View Settings FAQ.

Tap 'Filter' at the top of the camera view (it's on the map too) and pick the property types you want — single-family, condo, townhouse, multifamily. Everything else disappears until you turn it back on. Working single-family leads on a condo-heavy street? One tap and the towers go quiet.

On any home's detail sheet, the Contact section finds the owner's phone numbers, emails, and age. Contact searches come with every paid plan and use one credit per owner — a home with two owners lets you pick which one to look up (or both, one credit each).

Every phone number is screened against do-not-call lists before you see it, and a search that comes back with nothing refunds its credit automatically.

• Results stay on the property — reopening the sheet later shows them without spending again.
• Out of credits? Packs are $5.99 for 25 on any plan, including Free — on Free, credits buy owner contact searches only.

The mortgage lookup (5 credits, included with every paid plan) shows the loan on record for the home: the lender, original amount, recorded date, estimated rate, and an estimated current balance — plus a monthly payment breakdown including taxes and insurance.

The mortgage shown is typically the loan placed when the current owner bought the home. When our system detects payoff signals, it flags the mortgage as looking satisfied instead of showing it as active.

Plenty of homes are owned by companies and trusts. When one is, the detail sheet offers 'Who's behind this owner?' — the company's filing, its officers, and its registered agent, included with any paid plan at no credit cost. For the full picture, LLC Search (one credit per company) lists the people AND companies behind the owner, each person with the address they filed under.

If a company in the results is itself owned by another company, tap it to drill one level deeper. You only spend a credit on each new company you open — re-opening one you've already searched is free.

• Contact searches on company-owned homes automatically aim at the human behind the company when one can be identified.

On the Pro plan, 'View foreclosure & lien info' (2 credits) checks a home for foreclosure and lis pendens filings — one spend covers both.

Each filing renders as a case card: the filing type, an Active or Resolved pill, the case number, filing date, the parties (plaintiff v. defendant), and the attorney and judge when on record. An active lis pendens means a lawsuit touching the property is underway — often the earliest public sign of distress.

• Foreclosure and lien intel currently covers Miami-Dade County.
• 'No filings found' is an answer too — the home is clean as of the latest records.

Every detail sheet shows the home's assessed and taxable values alongside its sale history — an instant read on how the home is valued and how that compares to what the owner paid.

In select Miami municipalities, the sheet also lists permit history — open and recent permits are an early sign of renovation work (and sometimes of a seller getting ready).

Prefer to scout from the couch? The map view shows every property as a dot, colored by type. Tap a dot and the same detail sheet opens — everything above works from the map too.

Search by address or owner name to jump anywhere in the market, and use the same property-type filters to declutter the view.

Tap Save on any detail sheet and the home lands in Saved. Create lists to organize your work — a farming route, a block you're watching, a buyer's favorites — and add a home to any list right from its sheet.

Lists come in two views: visual cards, or a spreadsheet-style grid with owner, contact results, sale dates, and mortgage and foreclosure flags side by side — ready to export.

Point at a condo tower and you get the building's card: its name, unit count, and the range of recent sales inside. Tap it for the building sheet.

From there, browse the unit roster — every unit with its owner and last sale — and tap any unit to open its own full detail sheet, exactly like a house.
