What You Get Back
Each matched record returns:
- Up to 7 phone numbers — direct lines ranked by confidence score
- Up to 5 relatives — each with up to 5 phone numbers (useful for absentee owners)
- Matched Name — verified owner name tied to the property
- Deceased flag — avoid contacting deceased property owners
- Up to 2 email addresses — for multi-channel outreach
- Golden Address — the most current mailing address from our data sources
Best Practices
- Focus on high-value records. Skip trace properties with 3+ distress points or scores above 71 for the best return on investment.
- Update regularly. Phone numbers go stale. Re-skip properties you are actively marketing to every 90 days.
- Use the Golden Address for direct mail. It is often more current than the mailing address on file.
- Call top numbers first. Numbers are ranked by likelihood of reaching the owner. Start with #1 and work down.
"They score every single parcel for us and so, there's a lot more transparency and control over our own data and marketing."
