Each broker is scored 1 to 4 across the six dimensions above; higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average.

Background

Background

LTVCO's home-values brand

Ownerly pitches itself at homeowners - "professional-grade" valuations, appreciation trends, tax history, comps, and up to 30 years of sale and mortgage records. The part that makes it a data broker is the layer underneath: ownership data including homeowner contact information, and a FAQ that plainly offers people searches, reverse phone lookups, and email searches "across billions of data points" - the LTVCO backbone wearing a real-estate skin.

Controller (privacy policy)

"The Lifetime Value Co. LLC acting through Ownerly, LLC"

Incorporated

Aug 13, 2018 · operations from Aug 2020

Billing address

MSC-414887, P.O. Box 105168 Atlanta, GA 30348

The ownership is documented end to end: the privacy policy names The Lifetime Value Co. LLC as controller, LTVCO's brand page lists Ownerly in the family, the BBB profile shares BeenVerified's Manhattan address with co-founder Ross Cohen as CEO, and California's registry covers ownerly.com under the family filing - whose latest metrics report 502,683 do-not-sell requests across the brands.

The billing model matches the family, a $1 or $5 seven-day trial converting to roughly $29.99 a month, recurring authorization language in the terms, case-by-case refunds, and arbitration with a class-action waiver. Independent reviewers who tested the product found its valuations no more accurate than the free tools it competes with.

Why a home-values site is a privacy problem. Ownerly's reports tie a named owner to an address, a purchase price, an equity estimate, and contact details - a wealth-screening bundle for anyone deciding whom to target. That's a different risk than a Zillow estimate, and it's why the family opt-out is worth running even if you've never used the site.

The LTVCO family

Ownerly is one of nine LTVCO brands on one data backbone - but each brand runs its own opt-out, and suppression doesn't carry between them. The family members Redact profiles are below.

One opt-out does not cover the family. Each LTVCO brand serves its own copy of the opt-out form on its own domain, and suppression doesn't carry between them - run Ownerly's flow for this site, then work through the siblings that list you, starting with BeenVerified.

Statute

Dawkins v. The Lifetime Value Co.

Dismissed Feb 11, 2026

Circuit Court of DuPage County, IL · Illinois Right of Publicity Act

Outcome

Dismissed - paid trial defeats the IRPA theory

A putative class action over the family's paid-trial previews; dismissed on the holding that a $1 paid trial isn't a commercial use under the Act.

FAQ

Q & A

Common questions
Is Ownerly a data broker?

Yes. Beyond home valuations, Ownerly publishes homeowner names, contact information, sale and mortgage history, and offers people searches and reverse lookups on the LTVCO data backbone. It's covered by the California data-broker registration for BeenVerified and its affiliates, which explicitly lists ownerly.com.

Who owns Ownerly?

The Lifetime Value Co. (LTVCO), the renamed BeenVerified parent, operating through Ownerly, LLC of New York. BeenVerified co-founder Ross Cohen is listed as Ownerly's CEO, and the company shares the family's Manhattan headquarters.

How do I remove my information from Ownerly?

Click Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information in Ownerly's footer - it opens Ownerly's own opt-out at ownerly.com/svc/optout/search/optouts. Search your name, press Proceed to Opt Out on your record, and click the verification email (it can take hours to arrive). The property layer has a separate opt-out linked at the bottom of the same page, and suppression doesn't carry to the sister brands. Our Ownerly removal guide walks through it.

Does the BeenVerified opt-out really cover Ownerly?

Don't count on it. When we walked Ownerly's opt-out on August 10, 2026, it served its own copy of the LTVCO form on ownerly.com rather than redirecting to BeenVerified, and the walks across this family have consistently shown suppression is per-brand. Run Ownerly's own flow, and spot-check your name and address afterward to confirm the record dropped.

Why was I charged $29.99 by Ownerly?

The $1 or $5 seven-day trial converts to the full monthly subscription automatically. Cancel through your online account, 1 (888) 212-8460, or support email; refunds are case-by-case per the terms, and the post-cancellation charge is the single most common complaint in Ownerly's reviews - dispute with your card issuer if it happens to you.

Is Ownerly covered by FCRA?

No. Its terms and FAQ both disclaim consumer-reporting-agency status and prohibit using its data for employment, tenant screening, credit, insurance, or admissions decisions.
