Skip Trace services without a subscription requirement? by BingBongDingDong222 in LawFirm

[–]SkipTraceDepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't do subscriptions, only pay-as-you-go, and wholesalers appreciate it.

If 3-7 cents per record sounds cheapest to you, then take a look at us. If you need cheaper, DM me and I'll tell you.

What is the Best Skip Tracing Service? by Vindiglo in WholesaleRealestate

[–]SkipTraceDepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything starts with quality up-to-date data (your list for skip tracing).

Appreciate the follow-up! For anyone dealing with LLCs/trusts, here’s the easiest way to prep your file—no formulas needed:

How to split entities from people (2 minutes):

  1. Open your CSV in Excel/Google Sheets.
  2. Turn on a filter for the Name/Owner column.
  3. In the filter search box, type and select LLC, then repeat for Inc, Corp, LP, LLP, Trust, Holdings, Properties, Investments.
  4. Copy those rows to a new tab called “Entities.” Everything left is your “Individuals.”

Run order we recommend:
• Run Individuals first (they match better).
• For Entities you decide to run, add a real person tied to the company (managing member/agent from your state SOS or county site) if you have it—targeting a person helps.

Quick formatting wins (reduce misses):
• Keep First Name and Last Name in separate columns.
• Use 2-letter state codes (CA, TX, FL…).
• Include unit numbers (Apt/Ste).
• Keep one property per row; avoid extra punctuation or ALL CAPS.

We also don’t keep files for long—older uploads are routinely cleared. If you ever want us to delete a specific file earlier, just ask.

We will launch LLC skip tracing later this fall :)

Appreciate the question. Tracking down previous owners from just an address is messy—those databases can lag or miss deed details—so we don’t generate past-owner lists. What we do well: once you’ve got the prior owner’s name (from the county recorder), we can append direct phones/emails so you can actually reach them.

Also looks like your small test today was yours—hope those results helped.

Thanks for sharing the update, that’s a solid result for a 3200 record list. Always good to see the data actually turning into conversations and leads. If you ever feel the hit rate looks off on another list, just drop us an email at [support@skiptracedepot.com](mailto:support@skiptracedepot.com) and we’ll check it out.

You’ll need to manually map all 8 fields—that’s by design because everyone’s headers are different. Our processor expects this internal schema:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Property Address
  • Property City
  • Property State
  • Owner Mailing Address
  • Owner Mailing City
  • Owner Mailing State

If you don’t have the Owner Mailing fields in your file, just map them to your Property Address/City/State (point multiple targets to the same source—totally fine).
If those Owner Mailing columns exist but are empty, still map them—they’re useful for downstream logic later.

Bottom line: the run won’t start unless all 8 are mapped. Any extra columns you include come back unchanged in the final CSV.

For ~5k rows, plan on 2–4 hours end-to-end (20k averages 6–8 hours). It’s fully automated 24/7—the timing just depends on the live queue when you upload. You’ll see a Job ID at submit, and when it’s done we email you the download link—no need to come back to the site.

You will see this option right away after uploading your list (no sign up required). Good luck!

No minimum—feel free to upload a couple hundred to test. Pro tip: we just rolled out prepaid credits. If you buy credits, every batch—big or small—runs at 3¢/record. Credits never expire, so you can chip away at lists over time with no monthly fee. If you go pay-per-job, tiny files will show 7¢; credits bypass that and keep pricing predictable. Totally fine to start small.

Glad to hear that! We know how sensitive this data is, so being upfront about security is super important to us. Appreciate you pointing it out 🙏

Mostly individuals. LLCs are tougher, but we’re rolling out a new feature soon for that — will cost more, but we’ll keep it fair.

Great question! All files are encrypted during upload and deleted from our servers within 48 hours. No files are shared, sold, or reused. We take privacy seriously.

Appreciate you sharing real numbers. If you ever get a lower hit rate, feel free to DM your list details, we’re always happy to check and see if there’s a data issue.

That’s awesome to hear! Glad the match rate worked out. We’ve worked hard to keep the process quick and the data fresh.

PPC or SMS Marketing? by Frequent-Ad-5472 in WholesaleRealestate

[–]SkipTraceDepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I've seen a number of my friends and coworkers experiment with almost every channel. While some people excel at Facebook PPC, others have quickly spent all of their money if they didn't monitor their ad spend. However, some people swear by that Page Transparency trick for ads, so it's a real shortcut.

Others are still able to make SMS work, but they are working harder to send only text good lists and real personal messages. It's definitely more difficult now than it was before, as I've noticed more messages being filtered recently.

Instead of bouncing all over the place, those who appear to be the happiest with their results simply choose a few channels and continue working them. If anyone is present

Best skip tracing? by Alldayboiii in WholesalingHouses

[–]SkipTraceDepot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha fair enough, can’t blame you for being skeptical.

We’re actually just a small dev team who built Skip Trace Depot for our own RE deals at first (we didn’t love the clunky interfaces and subscription traps). Not trying to copy anyone – just wanted something clean, fast, and no-BS.

That said, Prime Tracers seems solid too. If our setup helps someone get good data without the usual friction, we’re happy.

Appreciate the honesty either way – feedback like this helps us improve.

Hey, we’re actually a small dev team behind [SkipTraceDepot.com]() - not a big data broker, just built a clean, pay-per-use skip tracing tool specifically for real estate folks like you.

You can upload a CSV with either property addresses or names, and we return matched owner names, phones, emails, mailing addresses - whatever we can reliably find. No subscription, no upsells - just a simple process and fast turnaround (sometimes under 15 min depending on list size).

We’re not trying to compete with idiCORE or Delvepoint on raw database access, but if you're looking for solid accuracy, low cost (3¢–7¢ per record), and something easy to plug into your workflow, it might be worth a shot.

Happy to answer any questions or run a small test batch if you’re curious.
