If I want to know the names of the people that own a house, assuming I know their address and how they look like, I can go to redfin app and do “Edit Facts” , a new screen will show and it shows all the previous and current owners of the house. Quick google search and I will have the info I want. Isn’t that a privacy violation on part of redfin?
Homeowner information is public information, you can check at county’s office.
Redfin makes it convenient to people what they can do at county’s office
Counties also make it convenient. Most of the information is online.
Privacy is a myth
That’s all public info. It’s why people use trusts.
Those are publicly available information... why don't you submit this to redfin for some bounty $$$ 🤣🤣🤣
What's even more scary is that armed with that information (address and name), you can go into county websites and get a lot more info that's supposed to be for the owner.
Yep. Endless possibilities
If you go to the county or use LexisLexis, you can get all their mortgage info, too
Scary, i thought only sale and other property info is available. Is mortgage info available? Where?
It’s all public info. Should be available at the Recorders Office. It might vary by state or county what they have online.
Yeah, it's kind of crazy how loose the government is with user data and then we're shocked when there's yet another data breach. If you have 5 pieces of data about an individual, it's trivial to find the 6th one and it gets progressively easier. It's also ridiculous how credit applications will ask you verification questions based on almost completely public information.
What I'm seeing is a list of names that are not necessarily the previous owners, it's just a captcha with real names.

Ever heard of whitepages? You can do a reverse lookup on the address to get the home owners name.
How does whitepage get information?
Just tried whitepages reverse lookup. Did not give me info for my address. But redfin did
