What is Relatives Skip Tracing?

Possible associated-person context inside Enhanced Trace, not a separate bulk-only product.

Relatives skip tracing is part of Enhanced Trace. It searches for a specific person using their name and associated address, then adds relatives or associated persons. You can run it as a single enhanced lookup, through the API, or inside a bulk CSV workflow.

This is invaluable when:

  • The property owner is deceased (probate situations)
  • The owner won't answer your calls or texts
  • Property is inherited with multiple decision-makers
  • You need additional lawful contact intelligence
  • You want more owner context before direct mail or compliant outreach
How Relatives Data is Used

Relationship signals may be incomplete, outdated, or inferred and should be independently verified before use.

Why Relatives Data Matters

Situations where relative context may help your research.

Probate Properties

Owner passed away? Enhanced trace can surface relatives or associated persons that may help you research the right next contact. Always verify the relationship and outreach basis before contacting anyone.

Unresponsive Owners

When standard owner contact data is stale or incomplete, relative signals can support additional research. Verify the relationship and lawful outreach basis before contacting anyone.

Inherited Properties

Inherited property with multiple possible decision-makers? Enhanced trace can add research leads and associated-person context so you can verify ownership and contact paths more carefully.

Out-of-State Owners

Owner lives far away? Associated-person context may help you understand the contact landscape, but customers remain responsible for respectful, lawful, and compliant outreach.

Elderly Owners

Older owner records can be harder to resolve. Enhanced trace adds extra context that may help with research, without representing that any associated person has legal authority over the property.

Competitive Markets

In competitive markets, better context matters. Enhanced trace gives you additional research signals while keeping outreach subject to Tracerfy's Terms and applicable law.

Three Ways to Use Enhanced Relative Context

Run one high-value lookup, test the API, or apply Enhanced Trace selectively to bulk records.

Workflow Best For Output Credit Use
Dashboard Lookup One-off person research Formatted enhanced result 15 credits/hit
API Tester / API Developers and CRM workflows JSON response with relative context 15 credits/hit
Bulk CSV Upload Selective high-value records Exportable enhanced trace columns 15 credits/hit
Team Workspace Shared operations and billing Results backed by shared credits Admin-managed balance
The Tracerfy Difference

This is no longer a bulk-only add-on. Enhanced Trace can support one-off research, API evaluation, CRM integration, and selective bulk workflows without changing the product into a background report. Use it for lawful skip-tracing and contact-enrichment workflows only.

Real-World Examples

Examples of how relative context can support research workflows.

Probate Property Example

Situation: Property owner John Smith passed away.

Problem: Need to research potential heirs and estate contacts.

Enhanced Data May Show:

  • Mary Smith, possible relative, available contact signals
  • Robert Smith, possible relative, available contact signals

Use: Cross-check probate records and confirm the proper party before any outreach.

Unresponsive Owner Example

Situation: Vacant property, absentee owner.

Problem: Called owner 6 times—no answer, voicemail full.

Enhanced Data May Show:

  • Michael Johnson, possible associated person
  • Additional associated address history

Use: Add context to your CRM and verify the safest next outreach path.

When to Use Relatives Skip Tracing

Decision guide: Normal vs Enhanced context.

Use Enhanced Trace (15 credits/hit) When:
  • Property is probate or owner is deceased
  • You need to research possible associated persons
  • Standard owner contact data is stale or incomplete
  • Deal value is high ($20k+ potential profit)
  • Market is competitive and you need every advantage
  • You need additional linked or historical address context
Use Normal Skip Tracing ($0.02/lead) When:
  • Standard cold calling campaigns (1,000+ leads)
  • Owner contact info is likely current
  • Property type is standard (vacant, absentee, high equity)
  • Volume matters more than per-lead depth
Pro Tip

Start with normal skip tracing for broad campaigns. Use Enhanced Trace as a single lookup, API call, or selective bulk mode on higher-value or harder-to-verify records where additional context is worth the extra credit cost.
