Skip tracing for real estate is the process of finding the current contact information (phone numbers, emails, mailing addresses) for a property owner who may be difficult to locate. This is essential for investors looking for off-market deals, agents trying to find sellers, or anyone needing to contact the owner of a specific property.

Absolutely. Protecting your data is a top priority. Your account and all searches are secured with SSL encryption. All payments are handled by Stripe, a certified PCI Level 1 Service Provider, meaning we never store your credit card information on our servers. Your uploaded lists and search results are private, secure, and never shared.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, actionable data. Our system synthesizes information from thousands of public and private data sources, including credit bureaus, utility records, and proprietary databases. We then use algorithms to cross-reference and verify this information to provide the highest possible accuracy. While no data is 100% perfect, we only deliver results we are confident in—no guesswork.

Zen Tracer uses a simple and transparent pay-per-result model. You only pay for successfully found records ('hits'). There are no monthly subscriptions and no hidden fees. You can see the cost per hit before you commit to payment. This ensures you only pay for the value you receive.

You'll receive your results in seconds, not hours. Once you upload your list and complete the payment, our fully automated skip tracing process begins immediately. As soon as the search is complete, your detailed report is ready to download from your dashboard.

To start a search, you will need to upload an Excel file (.XLSX) with the property addresses you want to find. Please ensure your file is formatted correctly to get the best results:
‍
The file must be in .XLSX or .CSV format
‍
It must contain a single column with the exact header: Address.
‍
Each address must include the street address, city, state, and zip code.
‍
You do not need to provide the owner's name or any other information—only the full property address is required for our system to work its magic.

Our commitment is to provide the highest probability matches by synthesizing data from thousands of dynamic sources. Due to the constantly changing nature of personal information—people move, change phone numbers, and update emails—no data service can guarantee 100% accuracy on every record. Therefore, as our service incurs costs to process every search, we do not offer refunds on processed data. Zen Tracer is a powerful investigative tool designed to deliver the most current, comprehensive data available, saving you countless hours of manual research and providing a significant advantage in your outreach efforts.

Ultimately, skip tracing is a numbers game. Success comes from contacting a high volume of property owners to find the few who are ready to sell. Our focus is to ensure the vast majority of the information you receive is accurate and actionable, dramatically increasing the odds in your favor. We provide the quality data you need to play the numbers game effectively and achieve success in your business.

In real estate, speed is your competitive edge. While public records are free, they are often inaccurate and can take days of manual research. Traditional skip tracing services force you to wait on someone else's timeline. Both of these options cost you your most valuable asset: time.

Zen Tracer was built for professionals who understand that time is money. Our platform delivers premium, accurate data in seconds. While you might find cheaper services promising the world, they often deliver questionable data after a long wait. We believe your time and the potential of a single deal are worth more.

Think of it as an investment. The small premium for Zen Tracer's instant, reliable results is a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands you'll gain from closing your next deal. Don't let slow data cost you an opportunity.
