Product — skip tracing

skip tracing for investors.
Owner contact, one click away.

Skip tracing is how you get from an address to the person who owns it — names, phone numbers, emails, mailing address. In Verleon AI it is not a separate tool you export into. You trace the owner from the property you were already reading, and the answer lands on that property and in your CRM.

What it is.
What comes back.

Public records say who owns a parcel. Skip tracing is the step that turns that name into someone you can actually reach this week.
01

The record.

County records name the owner of every parcel in the country and where the tax bill goes. That is a name and an address — not a phone number, and not a conversation.

02

The trace.

A skip trace matches that owner against public and licensed consumer data — address history, phone records, people files — and returns the contact points tied to the same person.

03

What lands.

Owner names and age, phone numbers with line type and do-not-call status, email addresses on file, and the current mailing address — often nowhere near the property itself.

Inside Verleon AI

One click.
From the deal you are already reading.

No list to build first, no CSV to push out to a second vendor and pull back in.
1step

Trace from the property.

Open any property in the deal feed and hit skip trace owner in the owner panel — or type an address, city and state straight into the skip trace screen.

2step

The answer stays put.

Names, numbers and emails render on that property, and the owner becomes a contact record in your CRM with the property attached. Nothing to re-key.

On-market? Trace the agent.

For listed deals Verleon resolves the listing agent instead — name, brokerage, phone, email — on a confirmation card you approve before an offer ever leaves.

A meter you can see.

Every plan carries a monthly skip-trace allowance. The balance sits on the screen, and a lookup that finds no records refunds its credit automatically.

Credits

What a trace costs.

One lookup, one skip-trace credit. Allowances are included in the plan and reset every month.
planskip traces / monthpace
Starter50roughly 1–2 a day
Pro500roughly 16 a day
Max2,000roughly 65 a day

A lookup that returns nothing is refunded — you are not charged for an empty record. Tracing a batch of owners from the contacts list draws on the same monthly allowance, one credit per owner.

After the trace

A phone number
is not a deal.

The trace is the cheap part. What happens in the next ten minutes decides whether it was worth a credit.
01

Send the offer.

Verleon already underwrote the property — deal score, DSCR, cash flow, comps and ARV. Take the number the analysis supports into the offer generator instead of guessing on the call.

02

Work the pipeline.

Every traced owner becomes a contact with the property attached, so the second and third touch have context. Off-market sellers rarely answer the first one — how to find off-market properties covers where the lists come from and how long a sequence usually runs.

03

Structure it.

An owner with equity and no urgency is not a cash sale — it is a terms conversation. Sub-to and seller financing walks the two structures those calls most often end in, and what each one costs you.

Limits

What we will not promise.

Skip tracing markets better than it performs. Here is the version nobody puts on a sales page.
01

Hit rates vary.

Some addresses come back with three people and six numbers. Some come back empty. Common names, recent moves, LLC title and trust ownership all cut the match rate, and no vendor hits every address in the country.

02

Accuracy varies.

A number was accurate when the file was built. Numbers get reassigned, people move, mailing addresses go stale. Verleon shows you line type and do-not-call status so you can judge a record — it cannot make an old record new.

03

Outreach has rules.

Obtaining a number lawfully is not the same as being allowed to call or text it. The TCPA, the national Do Not Call registry and state statutes govern that, the rules vary by state and they change. Consult your own counsel before you build a campaign on it.

FAQ

Before you trace.

Straight answers, including the ones that are not flattering.
— Definition —
What is skip tracing in real estate?
Take a property address, find the legal owner in public records, then match that owner to current contact info — phones, emails, mailing address. It is how you reach an owner directly instead of waiting for a listing.
— Legality —
Is skip tracing legal?
The lookup is — it runs on public records and licensed data. The outreach is the regulated part: TCPA, the Do Not Call registry and state rules govern calls and texts, and they vary and change. We flag do-not-call status on every number; confirm your own campaign with counsel.
— Cost —
What does it cost here?
It is in the plan, not billed per lookup. Starter 50 skip traces a month, Pro 500, Max 2,000. One lookup uses one credit, and an empty result is refunded.
— Accuracy —
How accurate is it?
It varies by address and by owner, and anyone quoting one hit-rate number for every market is selling. Expect several numbers per owner, expect a few to be dead, and verify before you build a deal on one.

Trace the owner. Then make the offer.

Skip tracing sits in the same screen that already underwrote the property — deal score, DSCR, comps and ARV included, nationwide.
