Top Rated Estated Alternatives
The simple documentation and the easy setup. It took an afternoon to get out an MVP of a product that is using Estated. I also really like the data that is returned for from the API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the way errors are handled or when you have duplicate listing information. The returned information isn't really useful and requires an extra request to solve. IMO it would be useful to return all housing information that is available instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite thing about estated is their customer support. They are very responsive and open to suggestions. Our company has been using Estated's API for referencing commercial property data, and they surprisingly have a good amount of what we need. We didn't have any issues on the implementation side of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think they could enhance some of their commercial data fields e.g. adding property ceiling height, electricity data, lease information etc. I also think their free trial system could be improved by not having a time limit associated with a number of calls. Being a startup, trying to get the volume of calls up to their limit in such a short time frame is difficult. Possibly, offering a start-up package with no time limit would be helpful.

Our team evaluated all the possible property data APIs available when we built our single property website product and Estated was by far the easiest to implement with the most extensive property database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their API calls are quite expensive when just testing at $0.25 per call, however, if you need to make lots of calls, the price quickly becomes quite competitive relative to other solutions we've found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy of use setting up to make API calls and the JSON object is well structured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Has some data gaps as of V2 when it comes to the deeds portion of the record containing loan information compared to V1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The API is well documented and very easy to integrate with. Our contact at Estated was very helpful. Pricing is scalable so we only pay for what we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really - it has done exactly what we want it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Smooth connection to Estated API, updated AVMs.
Good onboarding with their support team.
We connect our underwriting algorithms in the back end to multiple resources and Estated is one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working with Estated is extremely easy, fast, and efficient. They get back to us quickly and answer our questions efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much I dislike! I have nothing but positive things to say about Estated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Estated has been our secret weapon for a variety of reasons:
1. They provided us very competitive pricing v.s. data companies without great APIs.
2. Their documentation is done well and they constantly expand their coverage.
3. Their newsletter on PropTech is useful and insightful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main thing to dislike is that their owner name data is not standardized or cleaned (it's just one field where everything is dumped with non-standardized treatment of names / LLCs).
So don't expect to get clean name data. Sometimes it will be LLCs, sometimes multiple owners, sometimes there will be commas. Even if it's an LLC or multiple owners, it will be formatted way different from one address to the next, so you can't parse it out on your own.
This makes it really hard if you're trying to send mail to these folks or personalize that mail or to use the data to enrich with other information or sources.
In the time we've been a customer, they have offered additional data, but the data this one data point hasn't been cleaned. So, just something to be aware of when you buy if you need clean names.
Given the price they provided, this was an okay compromise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The sandbox environment and excellent documentation made it easy for my dev team to validate the service before committing to a contract. Estated was easy to do business with and keeps us apprised of ways to save us money with upgrade opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The team is hard to get ahold of for off-schedule meetings or questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've worked with nearly all the bulk data vendors for assessor and recorder for US national parcel data and Estated's API and Bulk data come at the best pricepoint with the most flexible terms and technology. The information is a commodity, so you can get it from anywhere, it's a matter of who you work with and how reliable the data is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our address match rate (use case is an online portal which uses this based on user inputs) is 70-80% - I think this is standard for the industry, but being able to have more hits on addresses we try to pull records on would be great. Additionally, the bulk files are structured in a way which is easy to load and manage by a BI team, but isn't really manageable for an individual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
