Property Explorer: Search, Filter, Save · 1:17
Three steps. Draw the geography. Set the filters. Review and save the results.
Open the map and draw a polygon around any geography you want to search. A single city block, a full submarket, an entire metro. You can also select by state, province, county, MSA, zip code, or postal code. The map is the starting point for every search.
Refine results by physical attributes, asset class, year built, and assessed values.
Narrow results using the dimensions that matter to your work. Asset class, property size, assessed value, year built, lot size, zoning, ownership type, transaction recency, building permit activity, and ownership tenure length. Combine filters to get as specific as your criteria require.
Property Explorer returns a list of matching commercial properties with the data attached to each record. Review results in the platform, then save what you need to My Data for ongoing access and portfolio tracking.
Each property record pulls from VIREC's intelligence graph, built from land registry sources across the US and Canada.
Structural attributes, building specs, lot dimensions, assessed values, year built, use codes, and zoning. For Quebec, includes municipal assessment rolls and the Registre foncier.
Owner identification with portfolio mapping and ownership change history. See who owns the property, how long they have held it, and what else they own.
Confirmed ownership transfers from land registry records. Sale dates, buyer and seller information, and asset class on every recorded transaction.
Recently issued permits and demolition permits organized by market and quarter. Track construction, renovation, and demolition activity around any property.

Property Explorer offers a deep filter set so you can search commercial properties the way your work actually requires. Combine any of these to sculpt a search as broad as a national multifamily scan or as narrow as long-tenure industrial owners in a single zip code.
Commercial property data in North America is fragmented across thousands of county, municipal, state, and provincial registries. Each jurisdiction runs its own portal, its own data format, its own access rules, and its own fee schedule. A cross-border search means separate logins, separate data structures, and a spreadsheet to reconcile results that were never designed to sit next to each other.
VIREC normalizes registry-sourced property data across the US and Canada into one searchable platform. One login, one map, one filter set. Property Explorer handles the jurisdictional complexity so you can focus on the search criteria that matter to your deal, your appraisal, your pitch, or your lending decision.
Most legacy CRE data platforms cover the US only. VIREC covers both sides of the border from a single interface.
