Marcus Reeves
Head of Permit Research, PermitGrab
Marcus Reeves leads permit research at PermitGrab. He maintains the pipeline that pulls live building-permit, code-violation, and property-owner data from 60+ official municipal APIs across the United States, normalizes it into a contractor-grade lead format, and surfaces it daily to subscribers in the home-services and real-estate industries.
Marcus's work is cited in PermitGrab's pillar guides for roofers, solar installers, storm-response contractors, HVAC contractors, plumbing contractors, window and door specialists, design-build GCs, restoration contractors, real-estate professionals, and pest control firms, plus the live US Construction Pulse dashboard.
