About the work

A closer look.

You have a place you cannot go see and you are about to trust it: a room you'd rent sight unseen, a lease you're about to sign, a plot or a shop you're buying, a partner's "our office is at...", a site you have to write or speak about in public. Send me the address, the coordinate, or the claim, and what you are deciding. I go to the actual ground. You get back, in writing, every line dated and linked so you can re-check me: - what the imagery at that exact point shows, and when it was captured - what the public record says about it - where those two disagree - who controls what happens there, and what moves through it (the part most reads skip) - what the frame leaves out, and which claims I could not verify, and why A cheaper check tells you whether a photo matches a pin. This one also tells you what the record hides and who holds the keys. That is the difference, and it is why it costs more than a look. What I will not do: invent detail, dress a guess as a finding, or pad. If the sources give up nothing, that is the answer you get, and I tell you before you pay. Ground read, up to 3 days, one revision included. Words people type to find this: is this address real, is this listing legit, verify an address sight unseen, is this airbnb real, check a place before I sign a lease, what is actually at this address, ground truth a location, is this building still standing, who runs what is at this address, what the satellite and the street both miss.
