Best Skip Tracing Options?

Dylan Harris
Posted

Hello All,

First post on here, I am just getting started in the RE industry - specifically foreclosures. As a major part of my work, I need to research properties, and then skip trace the homeowner to make contact. However, I am running into a consistent issue - currently I am using REIPro's built-in skip tracing software, but it seems a decent amount of the numbers this program pulls are disconnected or are not the right person (I.E. I skip trace John Doe, but get connected or sent to VM for Jane Smith - who isn't on the FC docs, and doesn't come up under the "Premium" skip trace from REIPro that brings up spouse, relatives, etc.).

I have made contact with a handful of homeowners, so some of the results are valid & get me to the person I need to connect with - however the borrowers I cannot contact are an issue, as it's a sizeable amount of results I get back that are uncontactable (No skip available, wrong # or out of service).

My question to the BP community is - what program/software/company do you guys use for skip tracing? And is the software i'm using reliable to skip trace, or should I cut it out and find a new one?

I would like to take all of the uncontactable borrowers & re-skip them in another program to see if working contacts come up.
