Skip tracing for real estate investors.

Find absentee owners, off-market sellers, and distressed properties, then reach the owner directly. DataSkip turns a list of property addresses into owner names, phones, and emails at a flat 4¢ per hit, with misses free and no minimum order.

How investors use DataSkip

Upload the list you already have: driving for dollars addresses, county records, expired listings, or inherited spreadsheets. Excel or CSV in, and every record that matches comes back with the owner's contact data in a clean CSV. Or skip the list building and buy targeted property and owner lists directly from the platform, then trace them in the same flow. Lists up to 250,000 records process in a single run.

The absentee owner signal is built into every hit

Every hit returns the property address and the mailing address when it differs from the property. A different mailing address is the absentee owner signal: the owner does not live there, which is exactly who off-market investors want to reach first. You also get up to 10 mobile phones, up to 9 landlines, and up to 28 emails per hit, so your outreach is calls and texts, not just mail.

Pricing that fits deal math

Skip tracing is a flat 4¢ per hit at any volume, and records that return nothing cost nothing. A 1,000 address list at the typical 98.9% hit rate costs about $39.56. There is no subscription required and no minimum order, so a single hot lead can be traced from the dashboard for 4¢. Full rates are on the pricing page.
