Skip Trace - Everything you need to know to Get Started

Skip tracing finds contact information, such as phone numbers, mailing addresses and emails, for the owners of the properties on your list. Lead Sherpa’s skip trace tool is built into your account, so you can upload a list, get the results and push them to an SMS campaign in one place.

 

What you can do

  • Look up a single property with Single Skip Trace.
  • Upload a list of property addresses with Batch Skip Trace by Address.
  • Upload a list of parcel numbers with Batch Skip Trace by APN.
  • Find the people behind properties owned by an LLC or trust.

You don’t need 10DLC to skip trace

Skip tracing works as soon as your account is set up. Paid plans include free skip trace hits every month, and on the Free plan you pay as you go. See Skip Trace Data & Pricing.
