Who owns the house next door?
A property sold to an LLC. Find out who's actually behind it.
2 API calls · $0.01How can I find out who bought the Florida property next door? A property in your neighborhood sells — and the buyer is an LLC, not a person. Is it an investor converting to short-term rental? A developer about to demolish? Or just someone who uses an LLC for personal privacy? One lookup reveals the officers, the address, and the corporate structure.
In this example, the deed shows "Example Sunset Holdings LLC" as the new owner.
The lookup
L00000000001What you learn
Instead of sending letters to a PO box, you have:
- A named person (Jane Example) and their office address
- The parent company (Example Capital Group LLC) for escalation
- Context — this is a professional investor, not an absentee owner
Whether you need to discuss a fence line, report a violation, or just know what's planned for the property — you now have a starting point. Total cost: $0.01.
How it's built
Two API calls, one API key. Search the LLC name from the deed, then pull the full detail to see who's behind it.
# Step 1: Search the LLC name from the deed or title record
# Replace "EXAMPLE+SUNSET+HOLDINGS" with the actual LLC name
$ curl -s -H "x-api-key: $API_KEY" \
"https://api.sunbizdata.com/api/v1/corporations/search/name?name=EXAMPLE+SUNSET+HOLDINGS"
< 200 OK (35ms)
{ "results": [{
"documentNumber": "L00000000001",
"corporationName": "EXAMPLE SUNSET HOLDINGS LLC",
"status": "Active",
"fileDate": "10032024"
}], "total": 1 }
# Step 2: Get full detail — officers, agent, address
# Replace "L00000000001" with the documentNumber from step 1
$ curl -s -H "x-api-key: $API_KEY" \
"https://api.sunbizdata.com/api/v1/corporations/detail?documentNumber=L00000000001"
