Concierge Services

It seems like everyone today is in the business of referring someone to someone else for fun and profit, mostly profit.  Real Estate companies have adopted another means of improving their profitability … at your expense.

The real estate company makes contacts with home improvement stores, home improvement contractors, roofers, painters, landscapers, etc. and agrees to refer them to you for a fee (sometimes a set advance fee and sometimes a percentage of the potential job cost).

The contractor then contacts you to bid for the work.  You should keep in mind that they are already paying a portion of their profitability to the real estate company who provided the lead.  So, in effect, you are paying for the referral fee out of your pocket.

And, you just know that the contractor will always work the hardest and the best for the person who is paying the most. 

Wouldn’t letting your fingers do the walking and a subscription to Angie’s List or another such source have been a better deal? 

Opportunity knocks!  You may have the opportunity to find out just how much 'free' Concierge Services will COST YOU!  Can you spell SCAM!

 

We recommend Angie's List ...
