About

We read the public record so you don't find out after closing.

Why this exists

A friend bought a house next to an active freight line. The listing was lovely and the showing was on a quiet Sunday morning. The trains came later, at night, and so did the vibration in the floor. When it came time to sell, the same thing that surprised him scared off buyers, and he lost real money on the way out. None of it was hidden. It was all sitting in public records that nobody had pulled together for that address.

That is the gap ReconNest fills. The information a buyer needs already exists, scattered across federal, state, and local datasets and written in codes most people never see. We gather it for a single address and translate it into something you can actually read, before you make an offer instead of after you move in.

Who is behind it

ReconNest is built by Jordan Werner, its founder, and operated by Werner Ventures LLC. It started from a simple realization: almost everything a buyer needs to know about what surrounds a home is already in the public record, it is just scattered and written in code, and nobody assembles it for the one address that matters. The goal is to give a buyer the same lay of the land a longtime local would have, for any address, in plain English.

What ReconNest is, and what it is not

ReconNest is a data product. We read public records, locate what is near a home, and decode it. We are not a real estate brokerage, and using ReconNest does not make us your agent. These reports are research to inform your own decisions and your own professionals, not advice and not a substitute for a home inspection, an appraisal, a title search, or counsel from a licensed expert in your state. You can read exactly where our data comes from and how we measure it on the how it works page.
