The house is empty. That is the whole reason they hired you.
You check the property because the owner cannot. ExpectFire covers the days you are not scheduled to be there, and it is built to go on your service menu, not on your expense list.
A schedule cannot catch what happens off schedule.
Weekly, biweekly, after every storm. However tight the interval, there are days between visits, and an emergency does not check the calendar. A pipe, a fire, a medical call for a guest or a contractor: whatever happens on one of those days, you find out on your next visit or when somebody thinks to call you.
Meanwhile the fire department knew within seconds. The engine was rolling within a minute. That information already exists, it is already moving, and it simply never had a route to the person the owner trusts with the house.
That is the only thing ExpectFire does. It routes it to you.
This is not software you buy. It is a line on your invoice.
Most tools sold to home watch companies are costs. You pay monthly, you absorb it, and you hope it wins you enough work to justify itself. This is meant to work the other way around.
Every client on your book is a client you can offer this to.
Dispatch alerts are something an owner immediately understands and immediately wants, and they cost you nothing per property to deliver. There is no hardware to buy, no truck roll to install, and no visit required to turn one on. That combination is what makes it work as a paid upgrade instead of an overhead line: your cost per house does not move when you add a house.
We are not going to pretend we have this fully worked out. There is no published partner rate and no reseller portal. What there is: a live product, a county it works in, and a real interest in building the commercial side with the first few companies who use it rather than presenting it to them finished.
- A text the moment Fire or EMS is dispatched to any house on your book, with the call type and the address.
- Something real to add to a service tier, rather than another subscription coming out of your margin.
- A reason to call the owner first, which is the moment they remember why they hired you.
- Nothing to install, carry, or maintain at a single property.
- Their house covered between your visits, not only during them.
- A call from you, by name, instead of a voicemail from a number they do not know.
- No box on the wall, no app to keep charged, no code for a houseguest to forget.
- Nothing to set up themselves, because you set it up.

Check your book
Paste your address list into the coverage checker and see how many we can turn on today. Takes a minute, needs no account, and tells you whether the rest of this conversation is worth having.
We work out the terms
Per-address pricing for a book of houses is set on a call. To be straight with you: we are still working out what that number should be, so early conversations shape it rather than just receiving it.
You price it your way
Fold it into an existing tier, add it as an upgrade, or include it as the thing that makes your top tier the top tier. How it shows up on your invoice is your call, not ours.
You make the call
When a dispatch goes out to one of your houses, the alert comes to you. What the owner hears is their home watch company, calling because something happened at their house.

ExpectFire is live across Pinellas County, Florida, and nowhere else yet. Pinellas is dense with exactly this work, so for a lot of home watch companies here the answer is most of the book. For anyone working across the bay it will not be, and finding that out from a checker in one minute beats finding it out from us on a call in twenty.

Roughly how many houses, and where. Paul will get back to you to set up a time. He is a firefighter who serves with St. Petersburg Fire Rescue, so it will be a short and fairly practical conversation.
