Built around your shop — not bolted on

By the time they hang up, the pre-closing inspections is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.

Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your home inspection catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Anatomy of a Lost Job

7:15 PM - Urgent Call

Buyer's offer accepted — needs inspection completed within the 10-day contingency window.

8:45 PM — No Answer

"Please leave a message or press 1 for..."

7:18 PM - Lead Hangs Up

Searches Google, hires a competitor who answers.

Bottom Line

-$450

Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Appointments to Voicemail.

A top-producing real estate agent calls while your inspector is crawling through a dusty attic with no cell signal. Missing that single call drops you to the bottom of their vendor list permanently, costing 15+ referrals per year.

Coordinating a 4-party schedule — buyer, seller, buyer's agent, listing agent — within a strict 10-day contract window requires 8 back-and-forth texts that burn 45 minutes of your afternoon.

Your inspector rushes through a booking call and forgets to offer a $225 sewer scope and $95 gas leak test on a 1985 home — leaving $320 of add-on revenue on the table for every pre-1990 property.

Home Inspection — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

A buyer's agent calls at 5 PM Friday with a 10-day contract deadline. Your inspector is crawling through an attic with no cell signal, and the call rolls to voicemail. That agent permanently drops you to the bottom of their vendor list and calls the inspector who answers on the first ring — costing you 15 to 20 referrals per year from that single agent relationship.

How Elise wins the job

A buyer's agent calls at 5 PM Friday with a 10-day contract deadline ticking. The AI agent answers on the first ring, pulls the property's square footage and year built from public records, and locks in a Monday 9 AM inspection slot. The system cross-references the 1985 build year against a diagnostic matrix and asks: 'Since this is a pre-1990 home, would you like to add a sewer scope for $225 and a gas leak test for $95?' The agent agrees. The scheduling engine books the sewer subcontractor to arrive at exactly 9:30 AM, texts the seller instructions to unlock the electrical panel and clear the crawlspace hatch, and collects a $775 credit card payment via secure link. By 6 PM Monday, the platform compiles the finalized PDF report and emails it to the buyer and both agents with a one-page executive summary.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the system increase the dollar value of every single inspection booking?

The AI agent cross-references the property's build year and foundation type against a diagnostic matrix. For pre-1990 homes, it automatically pitches sewer scopes; for crawlspace foundations, it offers moisture testing. This logic tree runs on every call, increasing the average ticket by $150 to $320.
