Our story

At Housestory, we believe every home has a unique story to tell. We're here to uncover that story for you, providing context, clarity, and connection to the place you call home. Learn more about our mission and what makes us different.

The housestory difference

Housestory is a residential property history service that helps people understand the story of a home, not evaluate its condition. We research and organize documented records such as past ownership, permits, renovations, and notable recorded events, then present that information as a clear, narrative report. Housestory is designed to provide context, clarity, and connection—whether you’re buying, selling, or simply want to know more about the place you call home—and it is not a home inspection, appraisal, or condition assessment.

More than just data

Most people describe Housestory as a backstory for their home. Rather than focusing on defects or evaluations, it brings together documented records like past ownership, renovations, and notable changes to tell the story of how a house became what it is today. It helps buyers, sellers, and homeowners understand a property’s history and context, turning an address into something more personal and meaningful.

Built on trust and accuracy

Housestory is built on documented, verifiable information. Each report is researched using publicly available records and reliable archival sources, with care taken to clearly present what is known and documented without speculation or evaluation. By focusing on accuracy, transparency, and clarity, Housestory provides information clients can trust and understand with confidence.

"Housestory gave us such a deeper understanding of our home. It's more than just a house; it's filled with history."
