Greensboro County Foreclosure Data

[Mahmoud Y. Elhalawany]

Hey there everyone! My partner and I have recently just locked up our first wholesale deal. I'm really excited but have a slight problem. Recently we have skiptraced our 3rd list, we acquired this list from the county foreclosure site, unlike the lists that come from our software program (propstream), these lists are completely unorganized. I went through and scrubbed the list by sorting out first and last names into two seperate columns and then replacing LLC names with thier registered agent from the SOS website. We skiptraced the list and the results are pretty terrible. I know it's not the skiptracing company as we have had lists skipped by them before and they are wonderful. I know that it's the government data. Has anyone on here ever tried to skiptrace one of these county lists? What did you do and could you point me to a resource that could help us out? Our whole bussiness model currently works through cold calling on records we get from the county, and then absentee lists which are smaller which we pull from propstream, if we cannot get the county lists to work then we have a large problem.

thanks so much

I've skipped traced county list, city list and got addresses, emails and phone numbers from almost every businesse in the United States and sometimes outside the US. My tech background has helped me get a lot of data that helps me which is sometimes good and sometimes bad. 

What I would do is not skip trace the register agent. The registered agent often times isn't the owner and it could be a waste of time contacting someone was has nothing to do with the company than receiving paperwork. Some skip tracing companies will skip trace the LLC name if you just have the address information. I will not list those companies here.

You might want to do a google search on the owners address that's in the county records of the LLC that you have found. Find what businesses show up, go to the website and give them a call. This will take sometime because you are doing it by hand but this is my suggestion. If the name doesn't show up then you will have to do some data diving/mining.

Good luck! Hope this helps.
