LightBox Unveils ‘True Owner'--Breaking Down Barriers to Commercial Real Estate Decision-Makers
A new industry standard in verified property ownership data, True Owner enables professionals to connect faster and with greater confidence. IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LightBox, a leader in geospatial intelligence and property data solutions, today announced the launch of True Owner, a new solution that provides verified ownership details, corporate officer information, and direct contact data in one platform. True Owner is designed for professionals in commercial real estate (CRE), finance, insurance, utilities, and other industries that rely on accurate property ownership insights to drive decisions. LightBox True Owner solves the problem of identifying actual decision-makers behind a commercial property. Ownership is frequently registered under LLCs, making it difficult to determine who is responsible for an asset. Even when the company is identified, finding the right person and obtaining accurate contact details can be time-consuming and frustrating. A More Reliable Approach to Ownership Data 'For too long, professionals have relied on incomplete or outdated ownership information, making it difficult to connect with the right people,' said Eric Frank, CEO of LightBox. 'With True Owner, we provide a more complete and reliable view of property ownership, helping our customers make decisions and engage more efficiently.' Unlike existing tools, which often provide incomplete or unverified contact details, True Owner goes deeper, identifying the real individuals behind ownership entities and verifying their contact information. The result? A dramatic reduction in research time, improved outreach success, and faster deal-making. True Owner will be available within LightBox Vision, LightBox data products, and soon in the new LightBox Live platform. By integrating ownership data into these solutions, LightBox makes it easier for professionals to access verified contact details, reduce research time, and improve the success of their outreach efforts. More Than Just a Contact List—A Smarter Way to Navigate Ownership True Owner is more than a database—it's a powerful decision-making tool. By integrating with LightBox's broader property intelligence platform, professionals can: Uncover hidden ownership relationships through cross-referenced datasets Streamline outreach efforts with direct, verified contact details Gain a competitive edge by reducing time spent searching and increasing time spent closing deals With True Owner, LightBox is setting a new industry standard for ownership transparency and actionable real estate intelligence.
