Hi Dewey Team,

I am new to the Dewey data so please let me know if this is the sort of question that you can help with! I want to work with the ATTOM Recorder data and specifically (I think) want the information recorded in the variable GRANTEEGRANTOROWNERRELATIONSHIPCODE to see if the real estate was either passed down or sold off due to a death. However, there are only 595 total observations in the data for this variable. Is there a way I can find out why this is so sparsely populated and whether it has begun to be collected recently, or if it was constructed in some way, etc.?

I've noticed that many entries in the ATTOM Recorder dataset have ATTOM_ID set to 999999999. What does this value represent? Does it indicate missing or unmatched property information?

Hello!

Hi all,

I am trying to find a variable in Recorder: GranteeMailAddressInfoFormat. It is in the codebook but not in the database. Is it possible that this variable is dicontinued? I am trying to connect the grantee with corporations? Could you please help me? Thank you.

I am trying to find the names of the corporate buyers. So far, I have found the variable grantee1infoownertype which is CN or CO for a corporation. However, I cannot find the names of the corporations that are buying the real estate (for, propertyusegroup=commercial). Could you please help me find the name of the corporations? I am interested in commercial real estate holdings/transactions of corporations in the US.
