Customized Software for Real Estate and Property Investment Decisions

Nico Tek builds software that puts everything you need to know about a property on one map: who owns it, what it’s zoned for, what’s being built next door and what changed this week. It updates itself from public records every day, so you see the opportunity, or the problem, before it shows up anywhere else.

Free, ten minutes, no pitch deck. Bring an address, a neighborhood or a problem.

How it works, in plain English

  1. Live feeds

    Permits, sales, zoning hearings and ownership changes, pulled from public records every day.

  2. Map layers

    Each feed becomes a layer on a map (that’s what GIS means), stacked on every parcel.

  3. Your answer

    Software built around your decision. You own the code and the data.

The same feeds and map layers work anywhere an address drives a decision: insurance, utilities, logistics, retail site selection. If your question has an address, bring it to the call.

Sheet 01 · The ground

The ground is already moving. We draw the plan on top.

Permits, deed transfers, zoning dockets and ownership changes — the landscape your analysts survey by hand, recorded daily and plotted on one map before the listings exist. Custom-built software on AWS. You own the code and the data.

Free, ten minutes. Ends in a plan, a proof-of-concept, or an honest “not a fit.”

What Fragmented Data Costs

An analyst spends hours every week pulling county portals, permit databases and MLS exports into a spreadsheet that’s stale the day it’s finished. That’s salary spent manually rebuilding a dataset that should refresh itself overnight — and it’s the cheap part of the problem. The expensive part is the site that trades while your team is still reconciling exports. Permit filings, rezoning applications and entitlement moves are public months before they surface anywhere else. The firms that see them first aren’t luckier — they’re looking at a different layer.

“We already pay for a data subscription.”

Those products tell you what already happened — closed comps, recorded sales, last quarter’s absorption. They’re rear-view mirrors, and every firm bidding against you is looking in the same one. Permit filings, rezoning applications and entitlement moves are public, structured, and months ahead of any of it. They’re just not aggregated for you — because aggregating them for your submarkets and your buy box isn’t a product anyone can sell at scale.

“Our GIS person can do this in ArcGIS Online.”

Sometimes true — and I’ll tell you when it is. What ArcGIS Online won’t do is run an unattended pipeline that pulls every county portal you care about on a schedule, normalizes their inconsistent schemas, and puts the result in front of your acquisitions team each morning with nobody maintaining it. I spent six years at Esri building exactly that layer of automation underneath their raster tile services. I know precisely where the platform stops and custom work starts.

“Custom software means a year of build and a dead product in two.”

Not how I work, and the structure protects you: the first working map ships in one to two weeks as a fixed-price proof-of-concept sprint. The code and data are yours from day one, and the platform runs in a dedicated AWS account I manage for you — transferable to your firm whenever you want it. If I disappear tomorrow, any competent engineer picks it up — nothing is locked in a vendor’s platform.

Thirty seconds each. No reading required.

The problem, the ladder, and what gets built between client work. Silent by design.

Proof, Not Promises

Nicolas Roldos

Built by Nicolas Roldos: six years engineering satellite-imagery infrastructure at Esri, fifteen-plus years shipping geospatial, web and iOS software. Every system below is live and verifiable.

Development & Spatial Design

Nesso Plaza

Paid clientClient engagement · H Street NE, Washington DC · ongoing

An indoor-outdoor marketplace filling 13 retail spaces needs tenants, investors, and the neighborhood to see the place before the doors open.

Why it matters: A development on paper has to sell itself before it exists. Spatial design does the leasing conversation’s heavy lifting — before opening day.

World Imagery Wayback

EmployerEsri · Product Engineer II

A secured browser app for a government client to explore years of historical satellite imagery — on infrastructure that could not go down.

Why it matters: The same discipline that serves satellite imagery to millions of map users is what runs your zoning, parcel, and comps layers without babysitting.

Spatial Search at Scale

Image Hunter

ContractApollo Mapping · Contract Engineer

Let customers of a satellite-imagery broker search a global archive of scenes by location and date, and trust what they find.

Why it matters: “Show me everything within this boundary, filtered by date and quality” is the same query behind parcel search, comps, and market screening.
