Property Record Protocol

How PropVault Works

PropVault is the official, transferable record for a property. This guide outlines how a Vault is structured, how information is captured, and how it persists from setup through closing.

Introduction

Most property records are fragmented — scattered across receipts, emails, and memory.

PropVault consolidates maintenance, documentation, and professional attestations into a single, structured record bound to the property itself, designed to transfer at sale.

PropVault does not replace title insurance, appraisals, or inspections. It complements them with a continuous, verifiable history that persists across ownership.

What is a Vault

A Vault is the living record of a single property.

It is initialized against a parcel and expands over time as owners and verified contributors add:

  • Documents
  • Service events
  • Professional attestations

At closing, control of the Vault transfers to the buyer. They receive the original, continuous record — not a static export — ensuring the property's history remains intact.

Three Dimensions

PropVault organizes property information across three dimensions that define value and risk:

  • History

    Origin and build-out.

    Permits, inspections, materials, builder records, and warranty registrations — anchored at construction or major renovation.

  • Condition

    Current and evolving state.

    Audits, maintenance, repairs, and upgrades over time. Entries from verified professionals carry greater evidentiary weight.

  • Legacy

    Continuity across ownership.

    The Vault transfers with the property at closing, preserving a complete record so diligence does not reset with each transaction.

Lifecycle

  1. Initialize

    Bind the Vault to the property. Setup is lightweight, allowing immediate documentation.

  2. Document

    Upload records and evidence. Invite professionals to contribute verified attestations where applicable.

  3. Share

    Provide controlled access to buyers, advisors, or partners. Permissions and expectations are defined by the owner.

  4. Transfer

    At closing, control of the Vault transfers with the property, maintaining continuity for the next owner.

Who it is for

  • Homeowners & Sellers

    Maintain a complete record of care and investment. During a sale, replace claims with primary, verifiable evidence.

  • Buyers

    Review a structured property history before committing. Reduce unknowns alongside your own inspections and due diligence.

  • Contractors & Professionals

    Attach your work directly to the property record. Your contributions remain visible, attributable, and preserved beyond the final invoice.

Access and Trust

Not all information should be universally visible.

PropVault is built on controlled access:

  • Owners determine who can view specific records
  • Access can be scoped to transaction participants
  • Confidentiality expectations can be formalized where required
