Listing Lookout – Check a Home Listing Before You Buy or Rent

Check a home listing before you buy or rent: the agent's license, flood and fire figures, true monthly cost, photo AI tags.

Know what you’re looking at before you call, sign or send a deposit. Listing Lookout checks a home listing against the public record, right next to the listing. Open a home on Zillow or Craigslist, click the Listing Lookout icon, and Chrome’s side panel shows you: ✓ Is the agent licensed? The listing agent looked up in the state’s own license file: active or not, license number, expiry and broker, with a link to the official lookup. California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, New York and Texas today; other states link to their official search. ✓ Does it flood? The FEMA flood zone at the address, plus the neighborhood’s flood insurance claims and its share in high-risk zones, from FloodFireCheck. California fire hazard zones too. ✓ Hurricane evacuation zone, where the county publishes one. ✓ What will it really cost each month? Mortgage, property tax, insurance, HOA and a typical flood premium. Every number is yours to change. ✓ Rental red flags. The warning signs the FTC lists, quoted from the listing: wire or gift-card payments, keys before a viewing, an owner who’s “out of the country”. ✓ AI-edited photos. It checks the photos for AI and virtual-staging tags. ✓ Save and compare up to four homes side by side, or export them as a spreadsheet. Private by design. No account, no ads, no tracking. Only the agent’s name and the address leave your browser, to look them up. Saved homes stay on your computer. Listing Lookout never changes the pages you visit. Free, from Swift Agent Sites. Public records, not official verifications. Links marked “Sponsored” are paid. Not affiliated with Zillow, Craigslist or Meta.
