ClariDeed was founded by Ryan Eckert, an Essex County, Massachusetts property researcher and data systems builder. Ryan built DeedRead — a public-records property research tool serving buyers, agents, and homeowners — and launched ClariDeed to serve the more complex legal-adjacent situations that standard property research doesn't cover: estate sales, probate, FIRPTA, and tax appeals.
ClariDeed is a research service, not a law firm. Every document we produce is compiled from official public sources — the Essex County Registry of Deeds, Massachusetts Assessors databases, MassCourts MUPC dockets, and IRS guidance — and is designed to hand directly to your attorney, CPA, or closing counsel.
The research draws on deep familiarity with Essex County's public records systems built through years of property data work. We are not your attorney. We give your attorney something accurate and well-organized to work from — so they spend their time on legal strategy, not records retrieval.

Deep familiarity with the Salem Registry of Deeds, Essex Probate & Family Court, and local assessor databases.
