Before the Sign

For retail leasing brokers and tenant reps

Ahead of the game. Before the sign goes up.

Before the Sign checks every new restaurant, shop and gym permit in Austin, Chicago, Vancouver and Edmonton every single day, and alerts you when something in your part of town is about to open.

You get the head start. Everyone else waits for the sign.

Why brokers want this.

Ahead of the game.

Hear about a space changing weeks before the listing, the press release or the sign in the window. You make the first call.

Nothing slips by.

We check every filing in your part of town every day. You don’t search. You don’t miss one.

Alerts worth opening.

A short alert the morning something strong files near you. Not a feed. Not noise. Only what’s worth a call.

Works while you work.

Every day of every week, in the background. Two minutes on Monday and you’re caught up and ahead.

What lands in your inbox.

A short alert the morning something strong files near you. Real data from Austin, with the address hidden.

See what we’d watch for you.

Five questions, and we say that up front. Tell us where you work and what you’re after, and we show you what’s already waiting.

Put it to work for you.

The founding five

Five seats per city, then the list closes. We approve every seat, so each first month is built around one part of town. Your seat is $99 for your first month of Team (a $399 plan), credited toward month two, with your rate locked for a year ($299 Team, $119 Scout). Cancel any time. We watch your part of town every day, alert you the morning something strong files, and send the full Monday brief.

Five founding seats per city.

Start with the five questions. We reply with a yes or a waitlist spot.

Straight answers.

What won’t it tell me?

Who owns a space, who the broker is, or who the tenant is, unless the filing happens to say. Permits rarely do. It tells you where to look so you can make the call.

How fast is an alert?

We check every city’s filings every morning. An alert reaches you the morning we first see something strong in your part of town, usually within a day of the permit being issued.

Can’t I just check the city’s website?

You can. The data is public. The work is checking it every day, across every category, and knowing which of thousands of filings matter to you. That’s the part we do, so you don’t.

Aren’t permits too late?

They’re issued permits, so the work is starting or about to. That’s still ahead of the listing, the press release and the sign in the window. We add earlier signals, like applications and liquor notices, where a city publishes them.

I already have CoStar or something like it.

Those are big market databases. This watches the filings for you and tells you the morning something near you moves. Plenty of people keep both.

What is the contract?

None to start. The pilot is $99, credited to your second month. After that it runs month to month and you can cancel any time.
