RECO Data builds decision ready home reports so buyers can move from “love it” to “it’s the right one.”
A single, easy-to-read report that organizes the essentials into three pillars: Property, Economic, Neighborhood.
Everyday homebuyers (useful to agents/investors too), looking for a fast, objective view of risk, fit, and context.
Listings and AVMs focus on price. PEN Report™ focuses on decision readiness. Does this home have permits, what are the climate risks, how are the schools, what hazards are nearby, Economic market context, and livability (Places of Interest, Elected Officials, EV Stations, Golf Courses).
We’re not better, we’re different. Your first look should be the MLS, the brokerage listing, or a major platform for the freshest listing facts (status, price, photos). The PEN Report™ steps in to help you decide. It’s independent of MLS status and still shows what matters: permits, taxes/liens, lifestyle and climate risks, schools, and nearby amenities. If reliable public data exists, we’ll surface it even when a home is off market or delisted.

A high level snapshot of the three pillars with short notes so you see why something looks strong or weak. It’s a guide, not a verdict.
An AI Summary (4 to 6 factual highlights), a PEN Scorecard for Property/Economic/Neighborhood with a grading system from A to F on sections many homebuyers care most. In many cases many of these call outs arm you to have have further conversations and may require a closer look.
