I am a real estate wholesaler looking for a Python/web scraping developer to build a reusable tool that collects motivated-seller real estate leads from publicly accessible U.S. county, court, municipal, and other government data sources.
The goal is NOT to receive a one-time list of leads. I want a scraper/tool that I own and can run myself repeatedly and ideally without per-run fees or monthly fees.
The tool should be designed to collect records that show genuine signs of potential seller motivation rather than simply scraping random property-owner records.
Examples of data sources/lead types I am interested in include:
Tax delinquent properties / tax liens
Pre-foreclosure / foreclosure-related public records
Probate / estate-related property records where publicly accessible
Code violations
Vacant / abandoned properties
Municipal nuisance or unsafe-property records
Demolition orders
Property-related liens
Eviction-related property records where useful
Other publicly available government records that may indicate a motivated property owner
I want the system to be capable of working with different counties. I understand that counties use different websites and databases, so I am open to starting with one or several counties and having the system designed so additional county scrapers can be added later.
Important: The scraper should collect only data that is publicly accessible and should not bypass access controls or obtain private/non-public information.
When possible, the tool should identify and export:
Owner First Name
Owner Last Name
Property Address
City
State
ZIP Code
Motivation/Lead Type
Source
I will handle skip tracing separately. I do NOT need phone numbers or email addresses scraped.
The final property-address data should be clean and easily exportable as a CSV that can be uploaded into DealMachine.
I would also like basic filtering/deduplication when practical, including the ability to exclude obvious business/entity-owned properties (LLCs, corporations, etc.) so I can focus primarily on individual property owners.
Ownership/operating requirements:
I receive the complete source code upon completion.
I can run the finished scraper an unlimited number of times for my own business.
No per-lead or per-run fee paid to the developer.
Preferably runs locally on my computer or through another simple setup I control.
Avoid paid APIs, proxies, CAPTCHA services, cloud hosting, or other recurring third-party expenses whenever reasonably possible.
If any recurring third-party expense is absolutely necessary, it MUST be disclosed before development.
The tool should be simple enough for a nontechnical user to operate.
Include setup instructions and/or a short walkthrough showing me how to run it.
I understand government websites can change over time and that future website changes may require maintenance. I am primarily looking for ownership of the initial working system rather than an ongoing subscription.
Have you previously scraped U.S. county, assessor, recorder, court, tax, municipal, or other government public-record websites? Please give examples.
Would I receive the complete source code and be able to run it myself after the project is finished?
Can you build this without ongoing paid APIs/services? If not, what recurring costs would be required?
How would you approach making additional counties/data sources easy to add later?
