What they knew
Founded in 2018 in Azusa, California, Connected Companies develops and syndicates multifamily projects across the San Gabriel Valley, with a pipeline of more than 600 units. Its acquisitions team bought two-to-fifty-unit buildings the same manual way: export the owners from LandVision, vet every owner's contact details by hand in a skip-trace database, then run thousands of touches a month across phone, text, and other channels. The assessor's address is often a registered agent or a PO box, and vetting one owner took thirty seconds to ten minutes. The team wanted a way to grow its outreach without losing that accuracy.
What they asked
Find every 2 to 50 unit multifamily building in these San Gabriel Valley cities, and for each owner give me the person behind the LLC and contact information for each of them.
What MAIA did
01Pulled the buy box from parcel records. Unit count, year built, last sale, and owner came from assessor records, so every two-to-fifty-unit building in the target cities landed in one table without a road-by-road export.
02Pierced the LLC to the person. MAIA found the ownership record, read state filings to drop lawyers and registered agents, ranked the likely decision maker, and ran a skip trace for a phone and email.
03Verified the contacts against the county. The address from the skip trace was checked against parcel records before it was written to the row, so outreach reaches the owner, not a registered agent.
What came back
- 11,000 multifamily parcels across the San Gabriel Valley in one pull, filtered to 2 to 50 units, the year built, and no sale in the last two years
- Owner contacts on nearly all of a 4,000-parcel batch, with each contact checked against county records before it hit the row
- 1,000 rows checked head to head against the team's hand-vetted list, with MAIA's contact enrichment winning in 90 percent of them
What they did next
Connected Companies is using MAIA to accelerate its outreach, with thousands of touches going out a month by phone, text, and other channels. The research that used to fall to one person by hand now comes back from a prompt, and that time goes to higher-leverage work. Next the team is getting ready to run MAIA across other counties in Southern California, including markets where its local knowledge runs out. With MAIA, that is no longer a worry.
