## Example

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "person",
  "name": "john doe",
  "nameOnDeed": true,
  "skipTrace": {
    "phones": [
      { "number": "5550000001", "type": "Mobile", "ranking": 1 },
      { "number": "5550000002", "type": "Residential", "ranking": 2 }
    ],
    "emails": [
      { "email": "john.doe@example.com", "ranking": 1 },
      { "email": "jd@example.com", "ranking": 2 }
    ]
  }
}
```

## Notes

<Note>
  `name` is returned in lowercase. Normalize it before displaying in a UI or writing to a CRM:

  ```js theme={null}
  const display = owner.name.replace(/\b\w/g, c => c.toUpperCase());
  // "john doe" → "John Doe"
  ```
</Note>

<Note>
  For a broader people graph that includes relatives, see [SkipTraceResult](/types/skip-trace-result). The `owners` array contains only the known property owners.
