Ownerly opt out: how to remove yourself
Ownerly is a property-valuation and owner-lookup tool from The Lifetime Value Co, the same family as BeenVerified. It surfaces property records tied to owner names, addresses and contact details, which is the join investors and wholesalers need to go from a parcel to a person.

What Ownerly exposes about you
Property records tied to your name, address, and contact details. These are the records a wholesaler or investor buys to decide which owners are worth cold-texting and calling.
How to opt out of Ownerly
- 1Search your name or address on the Ownerly opt-out page.
- 2Select the record that is yours and submit the request.
- 3Confirm from the email, which is the step that files it.
- 4Do BeenVerified separately even though both belong to The Lifetime Value Co. Shared ownership is not a shared opt-out, and this is the assumption that leaves people half-removed.
- 5Expect less public exposure here than from a typical people-search site, because Ownerly is primarily a paywalled valuation product, so fewer of its per-person pages are publicly indexed. Worth doing anyway: the data behind the paywall is what a subscriber uses to find you.

The same records that put you on Ownerly 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. Opting out of one site helps for a while, then Ownerly re-lists you after its next data refresh. 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 Ownerly legitimate?
Yes. Ownerly is a real company, not a scam. It is a data broker: it buys and compiles property, ownership, and contact records, then licenses them to marketers, lenders, and the skip-trace tools wholesalers use to find owners to call. That is a legal business in the US, which is why your records can be in its database without you ever hearing of it. Opting out is your right and it is free: Ownerly publishes its own request process, and you do not have to give a reason. Some property and mortgage data may be kept under regulatory exemptions, so a removal can be partial.
Why is Ownerly showing my information?
Ownerly builds its file on you from public property and mortgage records, recorded deeds, and commercial marketing data it licenses in bulk, not from anything you handed it. Your name enters its database the moment you appear on a recorded document, which is why it can list you with no signup. You can request removal or suppression for free, though some property and mortgage records may be retained under regulatory exemptions.
Will removing myself from Ownerly stop the "we buy your house or land" texts?
It helps, but Ownerly is one of many data brokers feeding the same marketing and skip-trace lists, and the records return after each refresh, so you need to remove yourself across the whole set and re-verify 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.
