A brand new house. An owner a thousand miles away. Nobody watching it yet. That single fact, out-of-state mailing address on a newly finished home, is your entire business in one line, and nobody searches for a home watch firm until something has already gone wrong. We find that owner from the building permit and hand the list to exactly one home watch firm in the county.
Realtors and word of mouth reach resale buyers who know someone here. A brand-new owner whose whole network is out of state is invisible to both channels, until a pipe bursts and they search in a panic. We find them the day the house is done.
Every new home in the county, sorted by owner mailing address. The A-grade list is simply every out-of-state owner of a newly completed home, the exact client whose situation is the reason your business exists.
This list goes to one home watch firm per county, full stop. A single client at a few hundred dollars a month, kept for years, pays for the feed many times over. Nobody else in your trade can buy this list while you hold the seat.
A real A-grade record from a counted county. Owner name masked until the seat is sold; everything else, county, value, and situation, is real.
Home watch is a subscription business built on a pool of out-of-state owners. Here is what that pool actually looks like in one counted county.
The 529 figure is a real, counted number from Walton County property and permit records (the same figure shown on the live county status board). The $300/month rate and the 30-client conversion are an illustrative scenario built on typical industry retainer pricing, not a specific commitment, forecast, or record of actual clients signed through this feed.
Yes. Building permits and property ownership records are public government records in every state. JustBrokeGround is not a consumer reporting agency, and this data is not used for credit, insurance, employment, or tenant-screening decisions under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. See the full FAQ and Terms for the complete picture.
Exclusivity is per trade, per county. If the home watch seat in your county is sold, we tell you honestly on the spot when you check your county. A designer and a home watch firm can each hold an exclusive seat in the same county at the same time; they are not competing for the same seat.
Your dashboard refreshes daily at 6:00 AM from the county's own permit and completion records where a live feed is running. Every lead shows the date it was added to your feed, so you know exactly how fresh a specific opportunity is.
Only the home watch column. Real data from the same ledger that runs the dashboard, as of July 26, 2026.
