Tessellations Internal Project

The Woodlands, Texas

There is a need for land developers, real estate agents, and other investment groups to have access to a web application to quickly and easily identify attractive investment opportunities. Most of the difficulty comes from identifying good quality data, and getting it in a format to easily view and understand and use. Tessellations has done the work of collecting from multiple credible data agencies to enrich parcels with information on recent sales, parcel valuation and ownership information, demographic statistics, city statistics, flood risk and flooding tendencies, physical characteristics such as slope of the property, and soil characteristics. These parcels are enriched with over 60 characteristic and statistical attributes to help hone in on the perfect potential investment.
