You're dialing blind.
The problem
Skip tracing works — until all you have is a name.
Where there's distress, you rarely close with the person on title. You need the heir who doesn't know they inherited. Or the longtime friend with power of attorney. But all you have is a name.
So you skip just the name.
Twenty possible matches. You look for a city that makes sense, an age that fits.
You pick a result and move on. Not because you're sure it's right. But because you're done looking.
The cost
You never have just one name.
A delinquent tax suit might name 5 defendants. A will might list 8 beneficiaries. Obituaries can be double that.
Every distressed deal has its own cast of characters.
If you're guessing on any of them, you're guessing on all of them. Your call sheet doesn't have 1 bad skip on it — they are potentially all bad.
And that's why your connection rate is what it is.
The solution
Search the entire group at once.
They're not strangers. They're friends, family, and neighbors.
Use their relationships to eliminate judgment calls — and mistakes.
Family ties. Shared addresses and phone numbers. Common friends, neighbors, and other associates. These surface in skips as overlapping data points.
Skips for the most deeply interconnected people will leap off the screen.

How it works
Here's what a group search looks like.
You bring the names. GroupSkip brings the connections.
Enter your names.
Enter the property address and your list of names — defendants from a tax suit, names from a deed, people from an obituary, neighbors. You don’t need an address for every person. You don’t even need a middle initial. That’s the whole point.
GroupSkip searches them as a group.
Everyone on your list is cross-referenced against everyone else. Shared addresses, phone numbers, family ties, court records — the matching engine uses these overlapping connections to verify which results are correct. You see exactly why each match was selected.
You get a ranked call sheet.
Every contact is ranked by connection strength — strongest first. Each entry shows the relationships that verified them. You’ll also find people who weren’t on your original list — secondary targets surfaced from everyone else’s connections. One search. Under a minute.
The method
We just do what PIs do.
Private investigators always outperform traditional skip tracing. Every investor learns that eventually.
The reason isn't the data. It's the process. A PI pulls everything. Reads everything. Cross-references everything — and lets each connection inform the next.
Investigations build until the identity of your target becomes obvious.
Skip tracing platforms never replicated that. You enter a name. You get a result. But there's no way to enrich your search with context — no family members, shared addresses, phone numbers.
GroupSkip was built to put a PI on every search.
Enter an address and your people of interest, and the matching engine cross-references everyone against each other — the same way a good PI would work it.
So you get PI results without the $120-an-hour price tag.

FAQ
Questions you'd ask if we were on a call.
Short answers. No runaround.
Most skip tracing tools search names one at a time, in isolation. GroupSkip searches your entire group at once and uses the connections between them—shared addresses, relatives, phone numbers—to verify which matches are correct. You also get secondary targets: people who weren't on your original list but show up repeatedly across everyone's networks.
We use enterprise-grade data from one of the top consumer data aggregators in the country—the same source used by major financial institutions, insurance companies, and licensed investigators. It's the highest-quality data permissible for marketing purposes. But here's the real answer: accuracy isn't just about the data. It's about the process. GroupSkip doesn't just return raw records—it verifies matches using the connections between people on your list. That's how you get the right John Smith, not just a John Smith.
Under a minute. You enter the property address and your list of names, and you get back a complete, prioritized call sheet—verified matches, connection scores, secondary targets—ready to dial.
