Property data
Skip Genie
Skip Genie is a skip tracing service for real estate investors trying to reach property owners who are hard to find. A search returns the owner's name, phone numbers, email and address history; a separate relative search returns contact details for one of the owner's relatives, which is what makes the tool useful on probate and heir situations.
Work happens in a web dashboard. Investors run one-off lookups through the Tracer tool or upload a list in bulk, and the system prices the list by volume and charges the card on file once the purchase is confirmed. A returned mail program handles undeliverable mailers. Paid subscribers can email support for the company's calling scripts, written by a sales professional for real estate use, and join a coaching call held every Wednesday at 7:00 PM Central.
Searches cost 17 cents per record for both basic and relative lookups, and every account includes 100 searches a month before per-record charges begin. There is no setup fee and no long-term contract. The company operates out of Houston, Texas, and says it built the tool for its own investing business because it needed data it could rely on deal by deal rather than by the law of averages.
Refunds are not offered under any circumstances, including a payment taken at the start of a cycle you then cancel, so size the first month's spend accordingly. The company declines to publish a hit rate for good phone numbers, arguing any quoted percentage depends on what was measured; ask instead how it would measure performance against a sample of your own list.

Common questions
- How much does a Skip Genie search cost?
- Both search types cost 17 cents per record. A basic search returns information on the homeowner alone; a relative search returns contact details for one of the homeowner's relatives. Every account includes 100 searches per month, so charges begin only once that allowance is used.
- How do I pay for searches?
- Searches are bought inside the dashboard: open the subscription menu, choose Purchase Searches, enter the quantity and confirm. For a bulk list, submit the list in the dashboard and the system calculates how many searches the volume needs, then charges the card on file after payment is confirmed.
- What is the refund policy?
- Skip Genie does not offer refunds under any circumstances. The company says that policy is what lets it avoid a setup fee and long-term contracts, and suggests using its free material on skip tracing while a marketing budget ramps up.
- What percentage of the phone numbers are good?
- Skip Genie does not publish a figure. It argues any quoted percentage varies widely depending on the variables measured, and asks buyers to question the method behind any provider's number. It claims instead to give investors the best overall probability of a successful trace.
- When is the weekly coaching call?
- Every Wednesday at 7:00 PM Central Time. Clients are emailed the call details each Wednesday as a reminder.
