Search deals

Submit this form, or open https://tryhighford.com/agent/search?q=judgments+in+Texas.

List a deal

Open a category and submit the form. Listing is free. The public card hides the contact.

View a deal

Open the example Texas judgment. The contact stays locked. To ask for the private room, submit the email form on that page.

curl -sS https://tryhighford.com/api/v1/listings?q=judgments%20in%20Texas

You send the intro.

Highford can draft the email, save a search, and show buyers who asked to be listed. It does not send, recommend, or negotiate.

Highford drafts the email and delivers it only when you click send. It does not send on its own, recommend a deal, or negotiate. One intro is one credit. There is no success fee.

Request an intro

One flat credit writes a draft. Nothing goes out until you hit send.

Saved searches

A weekly alert cites new public listings. It is not a deal score.

Shortlist

Add listings, then draft each intro. Drafting spends one credit per new note. None are sent.

Who's looking

Only people who opted in. This is not a recommendation.
