Reach the Decision-Maker. Not Just Anyone.
Every skip-trace vendor advertises a 98% hit rate. That number is misleading. A hit is anything coming back — a relative's name, an old address, one disconnected number. We measure differently: by decision-maker found.
Three steps. One owner. Every channel.
We run a premium-first trace — starting with the industry's highest-accuracy data source — then apply a decision-maker filter before anything reaches your export. Agents, influencers, and unknowns are stripped out. What you get is a shorter list of people who can actually say yes.
When depth matters, an optional waterfall layers additional premium sources to recover decision-makers the first pass missed.
Everything you need to reach them.
Up to 5 Phone Numbers
Each number ranked with line type and DNC status (positions 1 to 5). Up to 3 relatives with 3 numbers each also returned. Litigator-scrubbed automatically; DNC flagging available on request.
Up to 5 Email Addresses
Email data returned on 70 to 80% of contacts. Delivered with status so you know which to prioritize for drip sequences and cold outreach.
Golden Address
The most-recent skip-traced mailing address. Critical for absentee owners who no longer live at the subject property. Used for direct mail targeting.
Flags + Optional Waterfall
Bankruptcy and deceased flags on every record. Optional waterfall to additional premium sources recovers decision-makers the first pass missed, maximizing depth on high-stakes distressed lists.
“98% hit rate” doesn't mean 98% of owners are reachable.
A hit is anything coming back — a relative's name from five years ago, an old landline, a disconnected number associated with a forwarding address. Every vendor counts those as hits. That's how they get to 98%.
We ran 6,266 records against three industry sources — including the database most commonly used for basic-tier skip tracing. The difference in decision-makers reached was not marginal.
Same data sold to every vendor. Inflated 98% headline hit rates that include relatives, old addresses, and disconnected numbers. Real decision-maker reach falls off fast.
Premium-tier database. Decision-maker filter strips agents and unknowns before export. ~91 to 92% DM hit rate. Built for distressed lists: pre-foreclosure, probate, tax delinquent, and bankruptcy.
6,266 records. Three databases. One winner.
We tested our premium source against three industry databases on the same list. Here's what the numbers actually say about who gets reached — not just what gets returned.
Records tested across three industry sources
More decision-makers found vs. basic-tier alternative
Our miss rate vs. 35.3% for the basic-tier source
Of records: only ours returned a decision-maker
~16% of records yield no decision-maker from any source. We're honest about that. A 91% DM hit rate is not 100% — and anyone claiming otherwise is counting differently than we are.
