In practice
RealEstateAPI is a strong records layer, with search, detail, comps, boundaries, and skip tracing in one place, built for developers who assemble their own stack. The gap is everything after the data, because someone still has to turn records into a number you can offer. That layer is the Bricked API.
A RealEstateAPI comps call returns candidates, and your code decides what they mean. Bricked returns comps that are already selected, condition-scored, and adjusted.
RealEstateAPI valuations arrive as an AVM range. Bricked returns ARV, as-is value, an itemized repair budget, and an offer price.
With RealEstateAPI, turning records into an underwrite is a modeling project for your team. Bricked is the underwrite. One POST with an address returns one finished analysis.
