Paying nearly $7 for each property management lead is rather expensive, especially when it's obvious that some of the requests for proposals are fake or from competitors shopping the competition, but I was able to land my firm a new client thanks to Thumbtack. This client did not make contact in any of the other standard lead generation platforms, so I'm glad I had an account with Thumbtack. The only caveat I have is that there is no way to tell who is sending the request, and you are not provided any contact information to a real person directly after paying for the lead. That means you can spend a lot of money on unverifiable leads, and that makes me somewhat uncomfortable. If I had not signed a new client in the time frame that I did, I would probably have stopped using Thumbtack, simply because of the uncertainty of authenticity. I also wish that they would add property management to the list of services that a user can browse.
