There are various reasons why you may want to run a reverse address lookup for phone number. Perhaps you want to look up an old friend or a relative, and you know where they live, but somehow lost their number. Perhaps you’re house hunting, and an unattended house by the riverside caught your eye and you want to contact the owner.

Luckily, with the right tools at hand, doing a reverse address lookup to find out someone’s phone number is not so hard at all…

3. PeopleFinders – Best for in-depth information about a property and its neighborhood

As an older cousin in town, PeopleFinders has been in business since 1999.

PeopleFinders has a gigantic database. By mining its property data from 43 billion records, it aims at providing you as much information as possible about a property. This includes, the history of a home or business, their previous/current residents,the tax values as well as criminal/sex offender records to assess the safety of the neighborhood. Once you locate the owner, you can run a further search to obtain his or her phone number.

The lookup process won’t require you to sign up (which means no logs of your search), and it is pretty quick – all it takes is just a couple of minutes.

1. Go to PeopleFinders Address Lookup page.
2. Enter the address whose associated phone number you would like to find out and hit Search.
   
3. Wait a while as PeopleFinders generates a report of all up-to-date information about your search query.
   
   

5. Perform a manual search

Using a dedicated people & property search engine helps you quickly track down someone’s phone number (and a trial membership doesn’t costs you more than $1). On the off chance that they don’t yield a satisfactory result, or you don’t mind doing some digging yourself, you can go the manual route:

Google the address

Google is our #1 source of free information. You can try popping the address into the search bar to see if you get any information about the owner. Once you do find a lead, you can add the information in your query to further narrow down.

You may be hit with hundreds of results if the address you enter is a public one. To refine your search, put the address in quotations to make sure that Google only return results that exactly match your query.

Find out the phone number on social networks

Another place to try your luck is social media. To start out, you can hop on the regular haunts such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn and see if the address is tagged. If it is, tap on the tagged posts to view the posts in detail to see if you can trace back to the owner. You can combine this approach with searching on Google. The whole process is a bit hectic and it’s a lot of work for not too much information.

Keep in mind that the manual process could very likely prove futile, especially if it’s not a public place or the owner doesn’t leave any traces on these networks.

Wrapping up

When you have an address at hand and wish to trace the individual’s phone number, you can use an automatic people search engine such as BeenVerified, Spokeo and PeopleFinders to help you do the job. Alternatively, if you don’t mind a bit of digging yourself, you can search on Google or hop on social networks to track down the owner’s phone number. But as you would expect, the manual process is hectic and you may hit a dead end if not much information is revealed on these platforms.
