What DealMachine exposes about you
Your name, the address of a property tied to you, and a skip-traced phone number. This is the kind of tool a wholesaler runs to pull your number and start the "we buy your house or land" texts.
Can you opt out of DealMachine directly?
DealMachine keeps no public listing you can look up and delete, but you can still ask it to suppress your information: it honors a privacy request, and Shield Pro handles that request for you (DealMachine has confirmed receiving ours). Because it sources your number on demand from upstream data brokers rather than storing a profile you control, a one-time suppression does not keep you off for good. The lasting fix is getting off those upstream sources, which is what Shield Pro does: it removes your info from most of those sources for you and re-checks every 90 days.
DealMachine is one of 255 broker sites Shield Pro covers
The same records that put you on DealMachine are spread across our full data-broker opt-out list, and that spread is how wholesalers and spammers got your number in the first place. DealMachine pulls fresh data on demand from those same sources, so opting out of it alone leaves the rest. FendLand shows where you are listed. Shield Pro removes it for you at most sites, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.

Questions
Is DealMachine legitimate?
Yes. DealMachine is a real company, not a scam. It is a skip-tracing and lead tool that real-estate wholesalers and investors pay for to attach a phone number to a property owner, then text or call them. Selling that data is a legal business in the US, which is why your number can be in it without you ever signing up. Opting out is your right and it is free: you can ask DealMachine to suppress your information, and you do not have to give a reason. The texts you get come from its users, not from DealMachine itself, so blocking one sender does not remove you from the tool.
Why is DealMachine showing my information?
DealMachine shows your details because one of its paying users looked up a property tied to you, and it matched your name to a phone number pulled from upstream data brokers. It is a lead tool for investors and wholesalers, so your number is there to be found, not because you signed up. You can ask it to suppress your data for free, but it re-traces from those upstream sources, so a listing can come back.
Will removing myself from DealMachine stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but wholesalers can still reach you through the people-search and data-broker sources DealMachine pulls from, so you also need to remove yourself from those and re-check on a schedule. Shield Pro removes your info from most of the 255 broker sites for you, walks you through the rest, and re-checks every 90 days.
