Well, 2012 is finally here, and as I promised in our year-in-review blog from last week, it’s going to be a big year for us at Spokeo. Such a big year, in fact, that we’re only 5 days in and I already have a big new feature to tell you about!

Spokeo offers multiple ways for you to search someone: first and last name, reverse phone, reverse email and username. While most users have great success with these search options, we are well aware that there are certain cases where you’ll need to try something else to find what you’re looking for. For example, what if you want to find info on somebody, perhaps a neighbor, for whom you only possess an address? Or maybe someone you need to contact to discuss a potential business opportunity? Reverse business address lookup directory can come to the rescue.

Well, today you’re in luck: introducing Spokeo Reverse Address Search!

How Does a Reverse Address Search Work?

Here are the quick, easy steps you need to know to search for the address-related information you’re looking for using our reverse address lookup information finder:

    • Simply enter the full address of the person (city and state too, if you can) into the search bar and hit enter;
  • You’ll have a full report with available info on current and past residents: their names, cell phone numbers, age, marital status and more within seconds

That’s it! Now you know how to use a free reverse address lookup. It’s easier than ever to look up telephone numbers and other useful info using just a street address.

Why Would I Want to Find Out Who Lives on My Street?

Believe me, there are plenty of scenarios in which a reverse address search could come in handy. I just thought of one, actually. See, my family has a neighbor who lives on my street, a kindly, soft-spoken postal worker by the name of Harry. While I was growing up, Harry and his wife would always pass me by while I played in the backyard. For years our relationship was limited to quiet nods and smiles until one day, around my freshman year of college, he walked by our driveway, looked me right in the eye and called out with a broad smile,

“Hi, Phillip!’

This puzzled me. There was a lot that puzzled me during those college years, of course (for example: why was I still living in my parent’s house?) but by that time I was pretty confident in thinking that my name was Patrick and not Philip.  I looked around to see if there was anyone else who he could be addressing. Nope, he was talking to me. He thought my name was Philip; in the awkwardness and nervousness of the moment I was unable (or unwilling) to correct him, so I merely waved as he walked away. “I’ll correct him next time,” I told myself and went back inside.

I never corrected him. I am now 26 years of age and he still lives across the alley from my parents. Whenever I visit my parents and happen to see Harry, he still calls me “Philip.” For nearly a decade Harry has been calling me Philip, and all because I was too afraid to embarrass him all those years ago. Now it’s too far gone, you see. To this day, I am unsure of how or why he thought my name was Philip; He was a postal worker, so maybe he remembered addresses better than he remembered names.

If we’re being perfectly honest, I should admit that I don’t even think his name is “Harry.” (Maybe I think his name is Harry because he looks like Harry Dean Stanton). Either way, thanks to Spokeo Reverse Address Search, we both can enter the other’s address and find out.
