Totally misleading advertisement on Fox news. Clickbait. All of the information is available for free for anyone with 5 or 10 minutes and a mouse.
Highly recommend you avoid this one and watch it fall into the canyon of useless kiosk businesses that are aflush out here.
This is a sucker-bet business model.

Please feel free to email us at support@Ownerly.com and we'd be more than glad to assist you.
Ownerly is pathetic!
Ownerly only had records going back to 1998, but my home was built in 1929! They should have had 96 years of records instead of a measly 27! I wanted to know for whom my house was built and who owned the land!

Predatory marketing
Predatory marketing. They say it is going to be $1. Then they automatically sign you up for a subscription and change $41 right after that. Buyer beware

Inaccurate data provided
I admit I was confused and thought I was ordering a report on our property from Ownwell. Report I received was inaccurate as it didn’t even show us as owners. We bought this house in 2018. Was enough to cancel; but I got no more information than if I looked at my property on tax roll. Won’t call it a scam, just useless information.

1 out of 3 houses can be found
I went to search my own home and it wasn't even found!
I searched my neighbors and they did not find that house either. I searched my son's home and they had his. So out of 3 official homes 2 weren't even able to be found.
Not a good company if their % of recoveries is 1 out of 3 homes.
Canceled immediately

Thank you for reaching out and allowing us the opportunity to resolve this for you.
We are sorry to hear that you weren't able to locate the information you are looking for.
The information in our reports comes from aggregated public records and publicly available data. Property sales data can come from the municipal office responsible for recording real estate transactions in the area. Parcel information may come from county records. The report may also contain tax assessment, mortgage data, and much more. We are dependent upon the data that has been made digitally available by county records and other public sources.
If we are missing data on a property, please know that we are constantly updating and expanding our database to provide the most accurate and comprehensive reports we can.
Moreover, we would like to further investigate on this matter, however I was unable to locate an account associated with the information you provided. Can you please provide the member ID or the full name and email address that is associated with this account?
Kindly send us the details of your account at support@Ownerly.com so we can further assist you.
Pleased they did respond to my demands
OK I am pleased to say that I found the right contact info to get to someone about my frustration. They cancelled my membership and returned the $37.50. So I have to give them a few stars for that. But you need to go to your treasurer.org for your state and you get much more correct information free.

Although I initially thought I wouldn't get a refund. Ownerly did do the right thing and credited the money that was charged to my PayPal account. Users, just be careful of what you click on. Most of these are innocent mistakes but you will be charged. I think the company does offer a solid service, it's just I didn't really need it at this time. Thank you, Ownerly

This company is a scam
This company is a scam. I paid the $1.00 to receive a report and the report was worthless. I also cancelled the subscription immediately. I have not visited the site since then. They are now refusing to credit the $34.99 that I did not give them permission to debit. BEWARE!!! This company is a scam!!!

I got a free trial
I got a free trial. It was clearly stated that you need to email to cancel the subscription before the free trial ended or you would be charged a $34.99 subscription fee. I searched for the address to a home I own. The information I received was identical to Zillow.com. Zillow.com is completely free for those that don't know. 3 days before the free trial ended, I used the email I signed up with to cancel my subscription. I was then repeatedly billed by them for $34.99. I had to send another email informing them that I would be contacting my lawyer if they didn't stop trying to charge me after I had followed their cancellation policy exactly. They did finally cancel my subscription within 5 minutes of me sending that last email.

Worthless
The report I was given to value a property I was interested in buying had no more information than what was available online. Worthless.
I sent an email to the directed email address with the following copy and paste message "Cancel at any time, by calling 1-888-212-8460 or online by simply emailing support(@)ownerly.com." and haven't gotten a confirmation that I canceled.

I signed up for a trial
I signed up for a trial. The search result was ok, however nothing special. 2 days later I cancelled, only to hear back saying they couldn't find my account and needed more info, which I provided. No refund but a new charge for the full amount. I guess they found my account. I protested again, well within the 7 day period, only to hear I didn't cancel in time. Be careful with these characters.

BUYER BEWARE!!!
BUYER BEWARE! I purchased a report for one property in Arizona (I could not find the info in public databases) and paid $5. After I paid the $5 there was no report with the record. Even worse, they charged my PayPal $34.99 three times! I requested a refund and they denied it. DO NOT give them your PayPal info.

Hi there Robin,
Thank you for reaching out and allowing us the opportunity to resolve this matter for you.
We were able to locate your account.
We completely understand your concerns regarding the account.
Ownerly wants our customers to be aware of the billing prior to creating an account with us.
When signing up for our services the terms and conditions in addition to the privacy policy are required to be agreed to prior to signing up.
Each customer must agree to these terms before successfully creating the account.
This way our customers confirm they are fully aware of the charges including the date to cancel the trial.
Our subscriptions are not based on usage; they are recurring subscriptions that will continue to renew until a customer cancels as stated in the agreed terms.
Our records do not indicate a previous request to cancel the account, in this event the account continued to renew as stated in the agreed terms.
However, Ownerly prides itself on understanding our customers' concerns.
We have refunded additional amount, details of that refund has been emailed to the address on file.
We issued this refund in an act of good faith based on your expressed circumstances.

Ownerly takes publicly available…
Ownerly takes publicly available information on real estate and sells it in "reports" for $34.99 per month.
There free trial is "evergreened" into a monthly subscription in partnership through venmo(paypal) with access to ACH through your checking. Together venmo and Ownerly.com are taking advantage of retail customers. It's not billed through a VISA credit card that could more easily challenged and credited. Very little and highly questionable business practices.
Buyer BEWARE!

Do not sign up $1.00
Ownerly have a $1.00 offer for ONE report which I signed up for. I was surprised when later on I was charged $37.79 for a 25 report membership AUTOMATICALLY. I am mad as hell and cancelled right away. They will say read their terms when you sign up but that is not really in plain sight when you do. I suspect they designed their sign up service to grab easy money from the unsuspecting. Be very careful DO NOT sign up for their service.
