The [address lookup](https://abodeintlrealty.com/property-research/lookup/) reads free government sources for flood zone, wetlands, soil, elevation, slope, drainage and land cover at one point. Your browser contacts those sources directly and ABODE does not receive the address. The results are context, not a determination, and each checklist tells you whom to ask next. To read several addresses at once, use [compare addresses](https://abodeintlrealty.com/property-research/compare/). Sellers can make a printable [readings sheet](https://abodeintlrealty.com/property-research/seller-sheet/) for their own address. See how the readings work on the [property research tools page](https://abodeintlrealty.com/property-research/). These tools carry no data about schools, crime, who lives in an area or neighborhood scores, on purpose. Those topics can work as stand-ins for protected characteristics. See ABODE’s [fair housing commitment](https://abodeintlrealty.com/fair-housing/). ## Planning tools: frequently asked questions Are these tools legal, engineering, tax or insurance advice?
