Every season has its own to-do list
Homeowners think about different jobs as the weather turns, and service businesses feel it. Timing varies by region, so treat these as common patterns, not a forecast.
Home care by season
Homeowners take stock of what winter left behind.

From a map to a full route
After you join, the work comes down to four habits. Pick the monthly plan that fits your business from the pricing page and create your account.
The full walkthrough
- 1
Define your service area
Draw the area you actually cover on the map, from a cluster of neighborhoods to several counties.
- 2
Build and stack lists
Filter homes by criteria like year built, recent sale, owner-occupancy, property type and lot size, where county records include them.
- 3
Reach out responsibly
Work your lists with direct mail, phone calls and, where your plan includes it, SMS, using skip-traced contact details where available.
- 4
Automate and track
Turn on automated list updates so new sales and changed records flow into your saved lists.
How we work
Not a contractor.HomeIsSecure does not perform or dispatch home services.
Plain commitments about records, consent and what data can and cannot tell you.
Records vary by county
Property details come from public and county records, and each county decides what it records and releases. Some fields will be missing or dated in places, and we tell you so instead of filling gaps with guesses.
Consent comes first
A phone number or mailing address on a list is not an invitation to use it however you like. Members are expected to follow consent, do-not-call and telemarketing rules, along with local solicitation and permit rules.
You stay in control
HomeIsSecure supplies data and tools, not jobs. You pick the service area, the search criteria, the wording and when anything goes out, and you remain responsible for making sure your outreach meets consent, do-not-call and telemarketing rules in your area.

Pick the plan that fits your crew
Every plan searches the same homeowner and property records. The difference is volume, automation and how many people share the account.
The data, question by question

Property and owner details are drawn from public and county records, and contact details come from skip tracing. What is available differs from county to county: some record lot size, year built and property type, while others leave those fields out. Contact details never replace consent, and do-not-call and telemarketing rules still apply.
You can search by criteria such as home age, recent sales, owner-occupancy, property type and lot size, where county records include them. Combine filters, stack lists to find properties that match several criteria at once and save lists so automated updates keep them current as new records arrive.
Records are only as current and complete as their sources, and county practices vary. Homes change hands, sales take time to be recorded and some fields are missing. Use the data to plan and prioritize, confirm details before quoting or contracting, and update your own records when a homeowner tells you something has changed.
Plan campaigns around property characteristics such as home age, sale history, property type and lot size. Never target or exclude people or neighborhoods based on race, religion, national origin or similar traits. Fair housing, anti-discrimination and consumer protection rules vary by state and city, and following them is every member's responsibility.
