Founder, WhoseTitle
Adam Kalimi is the founder of WhoseTitle, where he's connected the public property records of 1071 counties across 49 states into a single searchable map. He built the product working alongside a practicing broker, and writes from what that work keeps teaching him — how county tax rolls actually behave, what skip tracing really costs, and how an owner's name on a map becomes a conversation, a listing, and a closed deal. Adam also leads engineering teams at a US defense contractor, and previously owned a digital agency that built software and hardware for Fortune 500 brands.
