About CRS
Yesterday.
In 1989, four young people — not even out of their 20s — got the idea for CRS while sitting around a table at a local Applebee’s® Restaurant. Their idea? Make property data easily available to:
- Real estate professionals
- Real estate investors
- Appraisers
- Mortgage companies
- Title companies
Anyone who wanted access to property tax records without going to the courthouse. That’s why we're known as Courthouse Retrieval System – or CRS.
It was like having the whole courthouse at your fingertips.
Today.
CRS’ Power Tools for Property Records® offer over 2,000 corporations access to:
- All public tax records
- Sales and mortgage histories
- Warranty deeds
- Comps
- Interactive GIS and plat maps
- Area demographics
- Property analyses
Plus a host of other tools for locating and evaluating properties – not just properties listed for sale or sold through the MLS, but every property.
It’s like having the whole courthouse, plus the tools to find and analyze real estate information at your fingertips, just the way you want.
Tomorrow.
