What You’ll Learn

• How to export property lists from Propwire for free
• Exactly which fields to include for best skip tracing results
• How to run bulk skip tracing in Tracerfy at industry-low cost
• How to automate the workflow for teams and agencies

Step 1 — Pull Free Property Data from Propwire

Create your Propwire account and use filters such as absentee owner, equity, last sale date, estimated value, or pre-foreclosure indicators. Once you’ve defined your criteria, export the results. Propwire advertises up to 10,000 free exports per day—verify the current limit on their site.

Recommended export fields: Property address, city, state, ZIP, APN (if available), owner name(s), and mailing address when present. These fields help Tracerfy match owners and maximize contact accuracy.

Step 2 — Prepare Your CSV for Tracerfy

Save your export as a CSV. Ensure a clean header row and consistent columns. In general, include: address, city, state, zip, owner_first_name, owner_last_name (if included in your export). Remove obviously invalid rows, empty addresses, or duplicates.

For large files, consider splitting into batches of 25k–50k rows for faster upload and processing visibility.

Step 3 — Bulk Skip Trace in Tracerfy

Head to Bulk Skip Tracing and upload your CSV. Choose your desired matching options and submit. Tracerfy specializes in high-volume, low-cost skip tracing—often as low as $0.009 per record—with no monthly caps limiting throughput.

• Speed: Parallel processing and smart matching speed up results.
• Accuracy: Our pipelines target 70–95% accuracy on deliverable contact data.
• Compliance: Build DNC/TCPA safeguards into your outreach workflow; verify your lists and consent practices.

When your trace completes, export your results to CSV and push them into your CRM, dialer, or outreach sequence.

Step 4 — Automate for Teams and Agencies

Agencies and larger teams can standardize this workflow by scheduling Propwire exports, auto-uploading to Tracerfy, and syncing results to your CRM. For developers, our Skip Tracing API enables hands-free processing at scale.

• No monthly caps: Keep pipelines flowing without throttling list size or trace volume.
• Fewer bottlenecks: Coordinators don’t have to juggle limits across tools.
• Measured results: Teams report moving up to 75% faster in acquisition cycles.

Quick ROI Math

If competitors charge $0.12+ per record, processing 50,000 records can easily exceed $6,000. Tracerfy’s low per-record cost and lack of monthly caps let you trace more data for a fraction of the price—while Propwire removes list-cost constraints up front.

Best Practices

• Start wide, then niche: Use broader geographic or equity filters to explore, then narrow in on high-response segments.
• Verify deliverability: Regularly measure contact rates and adjust filters to improve hit rates.
• Compliance-first: Align with all local, state, and federal outreach regulations when contacting property owners.
• Track outcomes: Feed conversion data back into your filters and outreach cadence.
