Question 1

What is GroupSkip?

Accepted Answer

GroupSkip is a connection-aware skip tracing tool built for real estate investors. You submit a property address and a list of names associated with a deal, and the system searches public records to find verified contact information for each person. What makes GroupSkip different is that searching names together reveals connections that single-name lookups miss.

Question 2

Who is GroupSkip for?

Accepted Answer

GroupSkip is designed for real estate investors, wholesalers, and asset managers who need to quickly locate and contact property owners, heirs, defendants, and other people associated with a deal. If you regularly skip trace multiple names tied to a single property, GroupSkip saves you time and finds leads other tools miss.

Question 3

How is GroupSkip different from other skip tracing tools?

Accepted Answer

Most skip tracing tools search one name at a time in isolation. GroupSkip searches your entire list together and uses the group context to discover connections between people. This means higher match accuracy, fewer false positives, and the discovery of secondary targets — people not on your original list who show up repeatedly across your targets' networks.

Question 4

What are secondary targets?

Accepted Answer

Secondary targets are people who were not on your original search list but were discovered through connections to your primary targets. For example, a relative or associate who shares an address or phone number with multiple people you searched. These often turn out to be key contacts for closing a deal.

Question 5

How long does a search take?

Accepted Answer

Most searches complete in under a minute. The system processes your submission through multiple stages — property lookup, name matching, progressive searching, and connection analysis — all automatically. You can monitor progress in real time from your dashboard.

Question 6

What plans are available?

Accepted Answer

GroupSkip is pay as you go by default — $0.15 per searched name, no monthly fee, up to 6 people per group. Professional ($29/mo) and Scale ($79/mo) subscriptions lower that per-name rate and raise the group cap. No plan includes free searches — every search is paid from your credit balance.

Question 7

What counts as a search?

Accepted Answer

Each property address and names submission counts as one search. You're charged per name in the group, not per search, so a 3-person group costs 3 times the per-name rate.

Question 8

Can I change my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time through the Billing page. Changes take effect immediately.

Question 9

What happens if my credit runs out?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to add more credit before running another search. Add credit anytime from the Billing page in $10, $25, $50, or $100 increments — it never expires.

Question 10

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Since search results are delivered immediately and involve real data lookups, we do not offer refunds for completed searches. Unused credit is non-refundable except where required by law. If you experience a technical issue that prevents a search from completing, contact support and we'll work with you to resolve it.

Question 11

How do I create an account?

Accepted Answer

Click "Sign Up" on any page to create your account with an email address and password. After verifying your email, you'll choose a subscription plan to start searching.

Question 12

How is my data secured?

Accepted Answer

Your account is protected by industry-standard authentication. All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS), and search results are stored securely in isolated storage tied to your account. We do not share your search data or results with other users.

Question 13

Can I share my account with my team?

Accepted Answer

GroupSkip does not currently offer multi-user team accounts. However, you can share your login credentials with trusted team members if needed. All activity will appear under a single account and share the same search allowance.

Question 14

Where does GroupSkip get its data?

Accepted Answer

GroupSkip pulls from public records and proprietary databases covering billions of records across the United States. This includes property records, phone records, address histories, and relationship data — all searched and cross-referenced automatically.

Question 15

How accurate are the results?

Accepted Answer

Accuracy depends on the quality of available records for each person, but GroupSkip's connection-aware matching produces significantly fewer false positives than single-name tools. The system uses fuzzy matching, address verification, and graph analysis to rank results by confidence.

Question 16

What information is returned for each person?

Accepted Answer

For each matched person, you receive phone numbers ranked by quality, email addresses, current and historical addresses, associated persons and relatives, and connection details showing how they relate to other people in your search.

Question 17

How current is the data?

Accepted Answer

Data is sourced from continuously updated databases and is generally current within the last few months. Phone numbers and addresses are ranked by recency so you can prioritize the most up-to-date contact information.
