Abstract

A property analyzer device may include (1) a receiver configured to receive property identification information from a mobile device, the received property identification information including a picture of the property and/or a property location; (2) a retriever configured to retrieve property-related information from multiple property sources (such as public record databases, websites, or an internal company database) based upon the received property identification information; (3) a processor configured to consolidate the retrieved property-related information into a consolidated property-related image of the property; and (4) a transmitter configured to transmit the consolidated property-related image to the mobile device for review by a user. The mobile device may display the consolidated images that may include several images of the property taken over time (such as showing repairs or improvements made), home insurance quotes, home loan quotes, and other types of property-related or community information that home buyers or owners would find useful.

4. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, wherein the location coordinate of the property comprises Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates.

5. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, further comprising an insurance quote module configured to generate an insurance quote for the property based upon the received property identification information,

wherein the at least one processor is farther configured to consolidate the generated insurance quote with the property-related information retrieved to generate the plurality of computer executable instructions.

6. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, further comprising a mortgage rate module configured to generate a mortgage rate quote for the property based upon the received property identification information,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to consolidate the generated mortgage rate quote with the property-related information retrieved to generate the plurality of computer executable instructions.

7. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to retrieve historical severe weather data for the property from a property source based upon the received property identification information, and

the processor is further configured to consolidate the retrieved historical severe weather data with the other property-related information retrieved to generate the plurality of computer executable instructions.

8. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to retrieve risk information for the property from a property source based upon the location coordinate, and

the processor is further configured to consolidate the risk information for the property with the other property-related information retrieved to generate the plurality of computer executable instructions.

9. The property analyzer computing device of claim 8, wherein the risk information comprises information about at least one of flooding, wildfire, and storm surge, with respect to the property.

10. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to retrieve criminal record data for the property from a property source based upon the received property identification information, and

the processor is further configured to consolidate the retrieved criminal record data with the other property-related information retrieved to generate the plurality of computer executable instructions.

11. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to retrieve property tax data for the property from a property source based upon the received property identification information, and

the processor is further configured to consolidate the retrieved property tax data with the other property-related information retrieved to generate the plurality of computer executable instructions.

12. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to retrieve market value cost data for the property from a property source based upon the received property identification information, and

the processor is further configured to consolidate the retrieved market value cost data with the other property-related information retrieved to generate the plurality of computer executable instructions.

13. The property analyzer computing device of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is configured to retrieve building permit data for the property from a property source based upon the received property identification information, and
