Why Wholesalers Need Skip Tracing

Skip tracing is the secret weapon of successful wholesalers. Here's why.

Beat the Competition

Contact motivated sellers before they hit the MLS. While others wait for listings, you're already making offers on off-market deals.

Direct Contact

Get phone numbers and emails to call or text sellers directly. No gatekeepers, no agents, no middlemen—just you and the decision-maker.

Scale Your Business

Trace 10,000 leads for $100. Process massive lists affordably to fuel high-volume cold calling campaigns and close more deals per month.

Higher Margins

Off-market deals have less competition and more motivated sellers. Negotiate better discounts and earn larger wholesale fees per contract.

6 Wholesale Scenarios Where Skip Tracing Wins

The most profitable wholesale strategies all start with skip tracing.

Probate Properties

Heirs inheriting property often want quick sales. Skip trace probate lists to find heirs' contact info. Enhanced skip tracing provides relatives' phones—perfect for reaching family decision-makers.

Wholesale Advantage: Motivated heirs + distressed situation = deep discounts and fast closings.

Vacant Properties

Drive for dollars to find vacant homes, then skip trace to contact absentee owners. Vacant properties cost money to maintain—owners are often eager to sell.

Wholesale Advantage: Low competition + maintenance burden = motivated sellers ready to wholesale.

Pre-Foreclosures

Reach homeowners facing foreclosure before the auction. Skip tracing finds their current phone even if they've moved. Offer solutions to stop foreclosure through wholesale assignment.

Wholesale Advantage: Urgent timeline + distress = highly motivated sellers willing to discount.

Tax Delinquent

Property owners behind on taxes face liens and potential tax sales. Skip trace tax delinquent lists to offer wholesale deals before government auction. Many prefer selling over losing to taxes.

Wholesale Advantage: Tax debt pressure + auction deadline = desperate to sell.

High Equity Homes

Owners with 50%+ equity (no mortgage or small balance) have flexibility to negotiate. Skip trace high equity lists from PropStream or county records. Target refinance candidates or long-term owners.

Wholesale Advantage: Equity available + no bank approval = fast wholesale closings.

Inherited Properties

When property passes to heirs, there are often multiple decision-makers. Skip trace to find all siblings/family members involved. One motivated heir can facilitate the wholesale deal.

Wholesale Advantage: Multiple heirs + property burden = consensus to sell wholesale.
