> Skip Tracing & Property Owner Contact Data Platform

## Overview

Tracerfy is a B2B skip tracing, property data, and lead-generation platform that helps businesses find contact information for property owners, build targeted niche lead lists, and scrub phones for TCPA compliance. Customers include real estate investors, wholesalers, agents, call centers, home service companies, and developers integrating contact data into their own platforms.

**Website**: https://www.tracerfy.com

## What We Do

Tracerfy provides eleven core services:

1. **Bulk Skip Tracing** ($0.02/hit) - Batch contact lookup
   - Upload CSV or submit via API with address, city, state and owner name
   - Multiple phone numbers per match with labels (mobile/landline)
   - Multiple email addresses per match
   - Current mailing addresses
   - 70-95% match accuracy
   - Async processing, results delivered via CSV download
   - 1 credit per hit, 0 on miss

2. **Instant Trace Lookup** ($0.10/hit) - Single-address instant lookup
   - Synchronous API endpoint, results returned immediately as JSON
   - Web UI at https://www.tracerfy.com/manual-search/ for one-off lookups
   - Two modes: find property owner (address only) or find specific person (address + name)
   - Returns all phones with DNC status, carrier, type, and rank
   - Returns all emails, age, DOB, deceased flag, litigator flag, property owner flag, mailing address
   - 5 credits per hit, 0 on miss
   - Ideal for CRM integrations, real-time lookups, and individual property research

3. **Enhanced Trace Lookup** ($0.30/hit) - Property owner and person lookup with additional context
   - Synchronous API endpoint at `POST /v1/api/trace/enhanced/lookup/`
   - Owner search: property address only with `find_owner: true`
   - Specific-person search: first name, last name, and associated address with `find_owner: false`
   - Returns core person/contact data plus relatives and linked/historical addresses when available
   - Includes phones with DNC/TCPA flags, carrier, type, rank and last-seen data where available
   - 15 credits per hit, 0 on miss
   - Built for CRMs, sales teams, and enrichment workflows that need more context than a basic instant trace

4. **Phone Verification** ($0.10/hit) - Verify and enrich a phone number
   - Synchronous API endpoint at `POST /v1/api/phone/verify/`
   - Checks a phone and returns line type, carrier, DNC/TCPA indicators, and associated person/address context when available

   - Built for CRMs, dialers, list hygiene, and phone-first lead enrichment

5. **Lead Builder** ($0.10/row) - Build niche lead lists from scratch
   - 24 pre-built strategy presets: probate, pre-foreclosure, vacant, tired landlord, tax delinquent, absentee owner, high equity, zombie property, vacant land, failed listing, and more
   - Layer geographic filters by county, city, zip, or radius
   - Layer property attribute filters: equity %, owner type, assessed value, beds, baths, square footage, year built, property type
   - Each delivered row includes full property attributes, propensity scores (sell, refinance, renovate by vertical), and owner skip-trace columns (phones with DNC flags, emails, mailing address) where a match is found
   - Free preview shows estimated row count and total cost before you commit credits
   - Async batch delivery via CSV download or webhook
   - 5 credits per delivered row

6. **Lead Builder Lookup** ($0.20/hit) - Sync single-row Lead Builder lookup
   - Synchronous API endpoint for one-shot enriched lookups
   - Returns full property record plus skip-trace contact data
   - 10 credits per hit, 0 on miss

   - Send a plain-English prompt describing your ideal lead
   - Returns the strategy selection, filter overrides, geography, and explanation with confidence score
   - Free in the web UI; 1 credit per search via API
   - Use the output to drive a Lead Builder execute or preview call

8. **Parcel Trace** ($0.10/hit) - Search by APN / parcel ID
   - Batch endpoint accepting CSV of parcel IDs
   - Instant sync endpoint for single-APN lookup
   - Returns owner contact info and property attributes
   - 5 credits per hit, 0 on miss

9. **Property Monitors** ($0.50/new row) - Saved searches that re-run on a schedule
   - Save any Lead Builder search and set it to run daily or weekly
   - Every delivery is deduplicated against rows already sent, so you only ever receive properties that are new to you
   - Results delivered by email and webhook for direct CRM ingestion
   - Each delivered row carries the same property attributes and owner skip-trace columns as a one-shot Lead Builder run
   - Pause and resume any monitor at any time
   - 25 credits per delivered new row; you are never charged twice for the same property
   - Designed for time-sensitive lists (new pre-foreclosure filings, fresh vacancies, newly listed distress) where being first matters

10. **MCP Server** (no additional charge) - Use Tracerfy from an AI assistant
   - Connect a Tracerfy account to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
   - Exposes skip trace lookups, parcel lookups, DNC checks, lead list preview/execute, strategy listing, and balance checks as assistant-callable tools
   - Connector links are generated from the account profile and can be revoked individually at any time
   - Usage bills against the same credit balance at standard per-service rates — the connector itself costs nothing
   - Marketing page: https://www.tracerfy.com/mcp/

11. **DNC Scrubbing** ($0.02/phone batch, $0.10/lookup sync) - TCPA compliance checking
   - Check phone numbers against the Federal DNC registry, state DNC registries, and TCPA litigator records

   - Batch upload CSV or submit via API
   - Sync single-phone lookup endpoint for real-time pre-dial checks
   - Two output files for batch: full results and clean-only (non-DNC phones)

**Q: Is there a minimum purchase?**
A: API requests have no batch minimum. Web batch uploads require at least 20 records.
