What it is

A name and an address in. A phone that answers out.

Skip tracing means finding current contact details for someone you already know by name or address. In real estate, that someone is a property owner who hasn’t listed. County records tell you who owns the house. They don’t tell you how to reach them. That is the gap a skip trace fills.

The catch is quality. A raw skip-traced list is full of disconnected lines, landlines, old numbers and namesakes. Your callers spend the day on numbers that were never going to reach the owner. Tracer is built around one question: does this number belong to this owner, today?

How it works

Three checks on every number.

01 · Match the owner

Mailing address first

We match on the owner’s mailing address before the name, so an absentee owner comes back as the owner — not the tenant, and not a stranger with the same name.

02 · Check the line

Live carrier line type

Mobile or landline is confirmed against the carrier, and numbers come back sorted mobile-first, most recent first.

03 · Check the person

CNAM + DNC

The number’s registered caller name is compared to the owner, and the number is checked against your DNC suppression list.

Who it’s for

Built for people who call homeowners.

Investors & wholesalers

Absentee owners, high-equity owners, tired landlords, inherited homes. Pull the list, trace it, and call the owner before the next investor does.

Agents & teams

Reach homeowners in your farm area with a mobile number that belongs to them, not a landline that rings in an empty kitchen.

Roofing & solar

Aged-roof and solar-ready homeowner lists, checked from above before they are traced.
What you get

One record. The full owner picture.

Every trace comes back with a confidence score, so you can dial the sure things first. Upload a whole list at once with bulk skip tracing, or pull owners by county, equity and absentee status from 11 states of parcel data.

Questions

Skip tracing FAQ

What information do I need to skip trace a property owner?

The owner's name and mailing address (street, city, state and ZIP) give the best results. If you only have the property address, Tracer can look up the people living there, which works well for owner-occupied homes.

Why does Tracer use the mailing address instead of the property address?

For an absentee owner, the property address is where the tenant lives. Tracing it finds the tenant's number. Tracer reads the owner's mailing address first, so the number you get belongs to the person who can actually sell.

Is skip tracing data the same as a background check?

No. Tracer is for lead generation only. It is not a consumer report, and it must not be used for credit, employment, insurance or tenant screening decisions.

Do I have to scrub the numbers before calling?

Every trace is checked against your own suppression list, and the federal DNC registry scrub is available as an add-on. You are responsible for TCPA compliance on your calls and texts.
