What do you use to find contact information for a vacant house??

I have been using the property appraisers sight and LandGlide to find the owner and then white-pages to get contact information. It could be me but seems like white-pages isn’t producing up to date information any more. What is everyone else using??

Thanks in advance!!

For a free search I have found Truepeople.com to be effective.

    Hi @Justin Hutchins!  I have used DealMachine for this recently with varying degrees of encouragement.  My go-to way is to use something like RPR or Realist, both of which are owned by CoreLogic and offered to agents.  I wonder if CoreLogic has a non-realtor specific version of either of these apps that would be available . . . when it comes to housing data I'd say they are the holders of the keys.

    Good luck on the hunt!

    @Will Fraser thanks for the info. I'm a realtor in Florida so maybe I can get access to them.

    @Justin Hutchins Excellent! RPR is Realtor Property Resource and you'll probably see a link to it from your MLS agent portal if CoreLogic administrates your local MLS.

    @Justin Hutchins Whitepages kind of sucks. TLO is what you want to be using. Or some other skiptracing service or program.

    @Lydia R. what is TLO? I looked and couldn't find anything. I can find the owners but just have trouble finding current information. Thanks!

    @Justin Hutchins TLO is a skiptracing platform. Its actually very difficult to get access to. You can try using Locate Plus, Ive had good experiences with them.

    I have had great success searching County GIS portals.
