How do you get a free home history report?

Housefax and SearchQ offer free home history reports on their websites, searchable by the property address. SearchQ only requires an address to obtain the free report, while Housefax requires users to enter personal information, including a phone number and the reason the report is being requested.

A SearchQ free report details information regarding previous property ownership, a neighborhood map, occupations in the area, school enrollment, marital status in the area and population statistics. Users are provided with the crime rate, density statistics and housing occupancy. SearchQ also provides a walk score that indicates what kinds of stores and amenities are within walking distance.
