How do contractors find construction leads before anyone else?
Watch the public record. Building permits, plats, bid boards and recorded sales are filed days to months before a job is advertised. Pegasus reads those sources every morning in your area, scores each one for your trade, and predicts the follow-on work (a new home means framing, roofing, HVAC, flooring and a deck, in that order).
Where do building permit leads come from?
From city and county permit portals and open-data APIs. Pegasus normalizes them into one feed with the address, job type, value and date, removes duplicates, and adds owner and property context where public records allow.
How do real estate agents and investors find off-market properties?
By stacking public signals: tax delinquency, pre-foreclosure filings, probate, code violations, long ownership with high equity and absentee owners. Pegasus combines them into a motivation score and a likely-to-sell forecast built only on property facts, never on protected characteristics.
What are expired listing leads, and can I use my MLS?
Listings that expired, were withdrawn or cancelled without selling. Agents can connect their own MLS feed through their MLS's licensed data vendor (or upload an export), and expired listings in their farm become private leads the moment they change.
Is it legal to use public records for leads?
Yes. Permits, recorded sales and court filings are public. Pegasus flags Do Not Call and known litigator numbers, follows fair-housing rules, and is not a consumer reporting agency, so it can't be used for credit, employment or tenant screening.
How is this different from Angi, HomeAdvisor or Thumbtack?
Marketplaces sell homeowner requests that are often sent to several pros at once. Pegasus finds projects at the source, before they're advertised, and you can lock an exclusive ZIP so no other Pegasus customer in your trade gets those leads.
Do you cover my city?
Pick any US city, county or ZIP. Where sources already exist, leads start right away. Where they don't, Source Scout finds and maps the local data, usually within days.
What does it cost, and can I cancel?
Plans start at $79 a month after a 14-day free trial with no card. The first 100 customers keep 40% off for life. Cancel any time from the billing page.
