Broker profile
PropertyRecs
A property-records site selling reports on who owns a home, what it sold for and what's still owed on it, plus a people search that lists an age, past towns and possible relatives. The site never names the company that runs it, and no California broker registration covers it. A researcher's 2024 report tied it and a one-letter look-alike to 644,869 exposed files. Removal is one search and one click.

Our editorial assessment from public sources as of September 10, 2026, and our own opt-out testing as of September 10, 2026. Each dimension is scored 1 to 4, higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average, unless a confirmed breach holds it higher. It is an opinion, not a finding about the company's conduct or legal compliance. Dimensions marked "Editorial estimate" are estimated from the kind of service offered rather than observed on this site. How we score
A confirmed prior data leak holds the overall rating at Substantial or higher; a major or repeat breach forces Extensive, regardless of the other five dimensions.
What each dimension means
- Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
- Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
- Complaint record: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, counts against the broker.
- Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
- Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.
- Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.

Background
Background
PropertyRecs sells property reports that its terms say come from third parties aggregating county records. The terms and privacy policy call the operator "PropertyRecs.com" and nothing more, require arbitration under Nevada law, and name no parent. California's data broker registry holds no filing for the site in 2025 or 2026.

The one company named anywhere near the site comes from outside it. In November 2024 security researcher Jeremiah Fowler reported an unprotected database of 644,869 PDF files (713.1 GB). Most of the files he sampled were background checks carrying names, home addresses, phone numbers, emails, employers, relatives and criminal histories, with court, vehicle and property reports mixed in. His report, published by Website Planet, attributes the database to SL Data Services, LLC, which it says does business as Propertyrec, and estimates the company runs about 16 websites. It's filed at a propertyrecs-breach-report address and describes the company with a quote about PropertyRecs, so it treats the two names as one business. It also says it isn't known whether the company or a contractor managed the database. Access was shut more than a week after his notice, and no reply came before the report ran.
A removal now can't recall those files. The report says nobody knows how long the database sat open or who else got in, and each file was named after the person's full name and state. Clearing your card stops PropertyRecs from showing you. It does nothing about copies already taken.

Network
The one-letter look-alike
PropertyRec.com sells the same kind of property report from a near-identical site. It prints the same support number, and its opt-out page is a copy of this one that loads the same live-chat account and the same reCAPTCHA key. Neither site mentions the other or names SL Data Services, so the only written link between them and that company is the 2024 report.
Reputation
Trust signals
The one sizeable review profile is on SmartCustomer, where the business has claimed the page and the latest 20 reviews all arrived by its invitation in June 2025. Several of those still describe charges their writers didn't expect, refunded on request. The site takes up the same worry on its own page, "Why am I being charged $35?", which explains plans billed at $35 a month for 3 or 12 months.

FAQ
Q & A
Who owns PropertyRecs?
The site doesn't say. Its terms and privacy policy call the operator "PropertyRecs.com" and apply Nevada law, and there's no California registry filing. The only company named nearby is SL Data Services, LLC, which a 2024 security report says does business as Propertyrec, the look-alike that shares PropertyRecs' support number.
Was PropertyRecs part of a data breach?
A researcher reported in November 2024 that 644,869 PDF files, mostly background checks, sat in a database anyone could open. His report attributes it to SL Data Services and Propertyrec, and describes PropertyRecs as the same business. Access was closed more than a week after he raised it, and nobody knows who else got in first.
How do I get off PropertyRecs?
Search for yourself at dashboard.propertyrecs.com/opt-out and click Remove My Info on your card. The site says it's immediate. The PropertyRecs removal guide shows all three screens.
Is PropertyRecs covered by the FCRA?
Not by its own account. Its homepage and terms both disclaim being a consumer reporting agency and forbid using its reports for credit, employment, insurance or tenant screening.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans data broker sites from your device. The free scan shows which of your details are exposed but hides which broker lists you; Premium and Ultimate show where each listing is. They also submit removals for most brokers Redact covers and hand you the opt-out link for the rest, then re-scan on a schedule and file again if you reappear. Coverage varies by broker.
A full removal was carried out and photographed in May 2026, three step screenshots in all, and the guide was rebuilt around it on May 28, 2026. The opt-out page, terms, privacy policy, pricing pages, the researcher's report and California's data broker registry were all rechecked live today. The recheck reframed SL Data Services as a name from that report rather than a parent, dated the exposure by the November 2024 report that disclosed it, and cut an Amazon S3 detail, a Global Privacy Control claim and a privacy@ mailbox that no source supports.
