Your file will have the following columns in this order: 

  • Full Name, First Name, Last Name.

  • Property Address, City, State, ZIP.
  • Three custom columns - Information contained within these columns prior to Skip Tracing will transfer over to the final file.
  • Alternate Full Name, Alternate First Name, Alternate Last Name - These columns should return the correct name for the owner of the property you skip traced. It might be different than the info you added to the Full Name, First Name and Last Name columns.
