The information displayed on this page is compiled from recorded real estate documents, business filings, and other lawfully available sources. Elementix summarizes and analyzes public record activity related to investment real estate and associated business entities. Any contact indicators shown (such as email domain references or partial phone digits) are provided solely as unverified signals and may be incomplete or outdated.

The data may not be used to make decisions about an individual's eligibility for personal credit, consumer housing, employment, insurance, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Elementix may suppress certain contact indicators where legally required or where appropriate for safety or privacy reasons. Requests for removal, suppression, or correction of information must be submitted to compliance@elementix.ai. Elementix reviews such requests only where required by applicable law or where information is factually inaccurate. General objections or unsupported demands do not create a removal obligation.
