Growing Up
The year 2010 marked a key moment for PropertyShark, as California-based Yardi Systems - the global leader in property and investment management software-acquired the company with one goal in mind: to expand PropertyShark's services nationwide.
By 2011, the website's coverage extended from the East Coast to as many as 46 states, and by the time it celebrated its ten-year anniversary, PropertyShark reached a crucial milestone, with over 1.4 million registered users.
Our Products
Offering unparalleled property reports for both the commercial and residential sectors, PropertyShark can help you determine when the property was developed, who owns it, its exact characteristics, up-to-date sales history, property value estimates, information about current zoning, air rights, and much more.
Additional services include Pre-Foreclosure and Foreclosures Listings, Sales Comparables, Detailed Maps, Building Photos, Real Estate Leads & Property Lists, and in-depth Ownership Information.

I have supported PropertyShark from its infancy. By compiling most of the information I need together in one place, PropertyShark has been instrumental in streamlining answers to many questions. My advice to Harlem buyers: If you don't have a fully fledged PropertyShark account, make sure your broker does. Best value around!
