Case Study
From Daily Courthouse Searches to a Morning Deal Report
Client
A commercial real estate debt investment team (anonymized).
Challenge
Finding new commercial mortgage foreclosure filings meant a team member manually searching court websites every business day, county by county. Each matching case then had to be opened individually to copy out the parties, property, and filing details. It was hours of repetitive daily work, easy to skip when things got busy. In a business where reaching a borrower or note-holder first wins the deal, every missed day meant missed opportunities — and there was no record of what had already been reviewed.
Solution
KJ built an automated monitor that searches the courts every morning, gathers the full details of every new commercial mortgage foreclosure filing, and delivers a clean, branded report to the team's inbox before the workday begins. Reliability was designed in, not assumed: every report is archived, building a permanent historical record, and expanding coverage to new counties or courts is a configuration change, not a new project.
Results
Daily manual searching eliminated; consistent coverage every business day; deal leads delivered automatically each morning; a complete searchable archive.
