Foreclosure lead skip tracing into GoHighLevel

We built this lead pipeline for a real estate investor who pulls pre-foreclosure lists from PropStream. The n8n workflow takes the list from Google Sheets, sends it to Tracerfy for skip tracing, qualifies the contacts it finds and creates them in GoHighLevel, ready for the acquisitions team.

Project brief

Deliverables

  • Sheet-to-CSV export and Tracerfy upload
  • Polling loop for skip-trace results
  • Hot, Warm and Cold qualification logic
  • Deduplication and property grouping per owner
  • GoHighLevel contact, tags, pipeline, SMS, email and note
  • Processed-leads logging back to the sheet

The challenge

Raw foreclosure lists have property data but rarely a working phone number or email. Skip tracing by hand meant exporting files, uploading them, waiting for results and re-importing contacts into the CRM one batch at a time. Owners with several properties showed up more than once, and nothing told the team which leads to call first.

Our approach

The workflow reads the PropStream leads from a Google Sheet, limits the batch and builds a CSV file, which it uploads to Tracerfy. It then waits and polls Tracerfy until the skip-trace results are ready, and parses them. Leads with no phone number are marked in the sheet and set aside. Leads with phones are qualified as Hot, Warm or Cold, deduplicated and grouped so several properties sit under one owner, and the best valid email is selected. For each lead, the workflow checks whether the contact already exists in GoHighLevel and creates it if not, then adds tags, places it in the pipeline, sends a first SMS and email and adds a note with the property details. Finally, it builds a summary and marks the leads as processed in the sheet.

The outcome

The investor's team now drops a list into a sheet and gets back CRM contacts that are traced, scored, tagged and already contacted once. The processed-leads sheet shows what was handled, and the GoHighLevel pipeline is sorted by lead temperature from the start.

How we did it

  1. Step 01

    Map the list

    We reviewed the PropStream export and agreed which fields decide whether a lead is Hot, Warm or Cold.

  2. Step 02

    Automate skip tracing

    We connected Tracerfy so files are uploaded and results collected without anyone watching the job.

  3. Step 03

    Build the CRM handoff

    We set up GoHighLevel contact creation with duplicate checks, tags, a pipeline stage and the first messages.

  4. Step 04

    Run and review

    We processed test batches and compared the CRM output with the source sheet before handing it over.

Why this project matters

In foreclosure deals, the investor who reaches the owner first usually gets the conversation. Removing the export and import steps means traced leads move into the pipeline without waiting for someone to run each stage.

Questions about this project

Can it use a different skip-tracing provider?

Yes. The upload and polling steps are standard API calls, so we can switch Tracerfy for another provider with a batch API and keep the scoring and GoHighLevel steps as they are.

Can you build something similar for my business?

Yes. We adapt the workflow to the tools and process you already use, and we give you a fixed quote after a short call about what you need.
