HomeVerified Home and Neighborhood History Reports
OREA has received member inquiries about privacy issues arising from HomeVerified home and
neighborhood history reports. These reports disclose the history of insurance claims and reported incidents
of marijuana grow-ops and methamphetamine labs at subject properties. They are currently available for
purchase by listing brokers through Teranet’s GeoWarehouse. In response to these member inquiries,
OREA reviewed sample HomeVerified reports with outside legal counsel and met with HomeVerified and
Teranet. After carefully considering the matter, we have concluded that use of these HomeVerified reports
by our members raises significant privacy law concerns.
