Surety Leads frequently asked questions
Direct answers about what Surety Leads does, how contract bond leads are sourced, and what makes a lead qualified.
What is a surety lead?
A surety lead is a documented opportunity to provide a surety bond. At Surety Leads, it means a public record identifies a live project, the parties involved, and a requirement for a performance, payment, bid, maintenance, subdivision, or site-improvement bond.
How does Surety Leads find contract bond leads?
Surety Leads monitors municipal and county public records every weekday, including planning approvals, governing-body resolutions, commissioners court records, bid postings, and contract awards. A project becomes a lead when the record shows that a bond is required.
Are Surety Leads shared with multiple brokers?
No. Surety Leads is built around custom, exclusive lead generation. A customer's feed is prepared for its territory and underwriting appetite rather than pulled from a shared list.
What counts as a qualified lead?
A qualified lead has a documented bond requirement, a named live project and parties, and no evidence in the record that the tracked bond has already been placed. Dead or already-placed projects do not count.
Which bond types are covered?
The pipeline focuses on contract bonds used in construction and public works, including performance bonds, payment bonds, bid bonds, maintenance bonds, subdivision bonds, and site-improvement bonds.
Where does Surety Leads currently find leads?
Published coverage currently includes New Jersey, Florida, California, and Texas, and the monitored county list expands as new county sources are activated. The market-data page lists current aggregate counts by state and county.
How can a broker request leads in another area?
Use the form on the Surety Leads homepage or email [email protected] with the county or region you write. New areas are researched against the public records available there before coverage begins.
