Skip Tracing for Real Estate Professionals

Skip tracing has become an essential tool for real estate investors, wholesalers, and agents who need to find property owners for off-market deals. When a property appears vacant, distressed, or owned by an out-of-state entity, skip tracing can identify and locate the actual owner.

Real estate skip tracing typically involves searching property tax records, deed records, and multiple databases to find the owner's current contact information including phone numbers, email addresses, and mailing addresses.

Finding Absentee Property Owners

Absentee owners — those who don't live at the property address — represent some of the most motivated sellers in real estate. Skip tracing helps investors identify these owners and reach them directly, bypassing the competitive MLS market.

Our comprehensive skip trace provides the owner's current address, all known phone numbers, and associated persons, giving real estate professionals multiple ways to make contact and present offers.

Heir Property & Estate Sales

When a property owner passes away, the property may transfer to heirs who are unaware of or uninterested in maintaining it. Skip tracing helps identify and locate heirs for estate sales, tax lien purchases, and probate property acquisitions.

1SkipTrace's relative and associate search is particularly valuable for heir property situations, identifying family members and their current contact information to facilitate property transactions.
