Your challenges

One significant challenge that can negatively impact homeowners is depending solely on referrals to find professionals and contractors on social media.

Self named professionals and contractors

While there’s nothing inherently wrong with receiving referrals—after all, they often indicate that someone has provided excellent service—relying exclusively on this method can place your home improvement or new build in the potential hands of what we call, a self named professional or contractor.

You end up asking on social media for someone you don't know to "give" you referrals, hoping that a friend or a past chat will see your post. Or anyone for that matter.

This is the quest to mention on social media to someone you're in need of services. Opening your private concerns for all to see. You think you're safe but in actual fact your making yourself a target. Call it what it is, self reliance in todays day and age poses serious problematic concerns. And we all know trust is a serious concern. 

Critical Issues identified

This dramatic situation highlights a critical issue: ideally, homeowners and business owners should be able to seek professionals based purely on referrals, but this approach is unpredictable and unsafe. We have the proof. Further, some "agencies" work on referral commissions unbeknownst to yourself. Thereby inflating real service delivery prices. Sometimes, this practice has drastic effects when identified. To the end users, including the "agency." When found out.

And the end user is left picking up the legal tab for false COC's substandard installations. Even some conveyance attorneys and PPRA agents has fault here. We have the Proof. What happened with regards to unbiased approaches and professional acumen? Not to mention the duty of care and treating customers fairly! 

Ever evolving Landscape

Some homeowners or business owners have strike it lucky successfully solely on referrals, but that landscape is changing. They know it. They can feel it. Nowadays, homeowners and business owners are not just competing with prices. They are also up against countless self named professionals and contractors who are willing to travel significant distances to underquote and provide inferior services by by-passing Sec 10. Do we have your attention? And vice versa. You struggle to understand rates and legalities. And to identify real from fake. But why? We know why!
