Maximizing Skip Tracer Results: Best Practices

Skip Tracer won't return 100% results, but these tips will help you achieve the best possible performance:

Address Formatting Requirements

• Ensure addresses have separate fields for:
  • Street
  • City
  • State
  • Zip Code
• Avoid importing all address elements into a single field

Data Types to Avoid

• P.O. Boxes: Not included in our dataset; always use street addresses
• Commercial properties: Low success rate
• Bank-owned properties: Low success rate
• Properties owned by:
  • Trusts
  • Investors
  • Limited liability companies (LLCs)
  • Estates

Special Handling for Absentee Owners

• Map addresses correctly:
  • Property address → Property Address field in Mojo
  • Mailing address → Mailing Address field in Mojo
• When running Skip Tracer, select the option to look up the mailing address
• This ensures you're contacting the actual homeowner, not tenants

Understanding Success Limitations

• Distressed properties may meet validation requirements but still lack owner information
• Our dataset updates daily with additions, deletions, and changes
• Owners of distressed properties often vacate and temporarily disappear from our database
