Do you need to locate someone? A lost family member, an old friend, a business associate, a witness on an important case, an insurance case plaintiff or defendant, a runaway child, high dollar collateral, or an ex-spouse who needs to be located?

We specialize in locating people, and we're good at it. Skip tracing, or finding someone who may or may not want to be found, is both an art and a science. It is a specialized skill that takes years to hone, and success is achieved through a combination of modern, state-of-the-art technology and old-fashioned boots on the ground. Online searches, databases, and public records are all good resources, but they do not do anything magical in finding someone that doesn't want to be found. Everything and every resource has to be used together for a successful locate.

Most of the background check and people finder web sites found online offer nothing more than automatic searches through free public record sources, or they buy outdated information and resell it to you at several times their cost. This is especially true for companies offering instant background checks. The services they provide may be timely, but almost always deliver meaningless results, compromised data, or information you already had. These companies are data brokers rather than licensed, professional private investigators. Not that the information can't be helpful, but it's almost never that easy.

At LocateMasters, we have access to vast information repositories, millions of records, proprietary tools, and unique methods. In addition, our years of experience set us apart from others in the industry. However, most of it boils down to being willing to do things others don't want to do. Nothing illegal of course, but endless hours talking to a lot of people, knocking on a lot of doors, following a lot of dead-end leads until something pays off, etc.
