Honest answers about how BidWise works, what data we use, and how investors get value.
When a covered county publishes its tax-sale list, BidWise analyzes every property on it — pulling comparable sales, public records, and the opening bid the county lists as due. Each property that comparable sales can price receives a deal score and ROI estimate, and the rest show the county figures, so you can decide quickly whether a parcel is worth pursuing.
Not at this time. BidWise covers county tax-sale and auction lists for DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb and Clayton counties. We do not resell third-party owner or lead databases, and we do not provide phone numbers or emails.
Comps are aggregated from public records and third-party real-estate data sources. BidWise draws them from the parcel's ZIP code or city, matches them on square footage and bedroom count, and shows confidence indicators so you know how much weight to place on each comp. Comps are not filtered by distance, so check how close each one is before you rely on it.
No. BidWise is a research and analysis tool. It improves the quality of your inputs — investing still involves real risk. We help you make better-informed decisions. Outcomes are yours.

Property records, tax history, and auction lists come from county and public data feeds. Comparable sales are aggregated from public records and third-party real-estate data sources, drawn from the parcel's ZIP code or city, matched on size and bedroom count, and shown with confidence indicators so you can weigh each one.
Yes. The platform is designed to be usable without a real estate background. Deal scores, rehab estimates, and financials are clearly labeled so you can evaluate properties while still doing your own diligence before bidding.
BidWise covers four metro-Atlanta counties: DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton. Georgia has 159 counties in total. Georgia sells tax-delinquent property on the first Tuesday of the month, and each of these counties sells on that schedule in the months it has parcels to offer. Sale dates and parcel counts change month to month, so the county pages under /tax-sale carry whatever is currently published.
BidWise checks each covered county's official source every day. When a county posts or amends its list, the new list is analyzed and published after a person reviews it, which can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The analysis runs at that point, not when you open a parcel, and the comparable sales behind it can be a few months old. The dashboard and the county pages show the date of the analysis.
