Real estate investors
Review published code-enforcement records with property context where linkage is available. A violation is a research signal, not evidence that an owner intends to sell.

Roof permits and electrical upgrades in Wake County provide project context for solar-market research. Filter by the current project signal and verify ownership separately.
Insurance agents
Wake County renovations can identify properties for a policy-review workflow. Confirm coverage needs independently before contacting a property owner.
