Do not do it. They rip you off and they f*** you over to not end. They're a sleazy company built on a sleazy business model. STAY AWAY. Seriously. Don't do it.

There are 2 kinds of real estate appraisers. Residential Appraisers and General Appraisers.
Because of an apparently deliberate error they list Appraiser - General and Appraiser - Real Estate. This should be Appraiser - Residential. They send Bad Leads to Residential Appraisers for Commercial properties and refuse to refund the lead fees which are very expensive for leads which are prohibited by law for residential appraisers. I warn other residential appraisers not to fall for this rip off.

Just like all the one star reviews say, They send out to at least three contractors the same customer info and in my case 75% of the customers never answered, 20% already found a contractor and the last five told me they never requested a contractor or yes they needed one---a month ago. I never NEVER, received a viable job from any contact sent to me by H. A. I set my alarm on my calendar every week to remind me to put my leads on hold during the last six months because I've heard the misery H. A. put other contractors when trying to cancel membership early. So I lasted the last six months with minimal inconvenience but still feel ripped off. I was polite when I finally cancelled two weeks prior to the end of my year but I will NEVER ever use H. A or Angies List (they are owned by H. A.)

They are absolutely horrible! If you are a contractor, STAY AWAY! YOU WILL LOSE MONEY WITH THESE MORONS! They don't adhere to the budgets you set and then tell you that budget only applies to certain types of leads so they can filter in a bunch of them that don't get accounted for and run up your balance. They were exceeding our budget by 3-4 times of what it was set at. COMPLETE RIP OFF! DO NOT USE! I WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS!

Some company I never even heard of didn't pay a bill that was $17 and I spend $1,000 a month with HomeAdvisor. They put MY account on hold because they said my account was a sister account. I never even heard of this other company. They couldn't give me a reason why we were connected and said my name wasn't on the other account or anything. I never gave them permission to connect me to any other account as the account representative and they said it's up to HomeAdvisor to decide who's account I represent and they won't unlock my account until the other people pay their bill and I can't do anything to disconnect us. Completely irrational to lose $1,000 a month for a $17 bill that isn't even related to me.

My name is Joe Mollric
I own The Septic Surgeons, Inc in Ohio.
I have used Home Adviser for over 5 years years, and currently spend about $6000. 00
A year with them. I work in several Ohio counties, and their out reach is very effective.
I have a "not to exceed figure" per month.
While receiving credits for work that I'm not licensed to perform is time consuming, and costly, they generally agree.
They can't ask me to do something that is illegal.
They get that-most of the time.
My experience, over the years, has been profitable
If the client found me on Home Adviser, I ask them to write a review on my service.
I get really crappy leads often-price shoppers or not the home owner- That's part of doing
Business.
The best leads for me come from referrals, septic pumpers.
I pay a $100 referral fee for each and every one that turns into a paying job.

Being new to the Tampa area & needing a water heater repair I turned to Home Advisor at the suggestion of my girlfriend. Home advisor contractors are vultures. Absolutely none would provide any type of estimate over the phone. I made appointments with two. The 1st Haske plumbing cancelled. The 2nd Cass plumbing is a huge ripoff. I authorized the repair before realizing what a ripoff it was. $264 to replace 2 $10 parts in less than an hour. NEVER EVER US HOME ADVISOR!

This is the most dishonest place I have ever worked for in my entire life they will charge you per lead have the audacity to charge me 51.00 for a cutting grass that's 1000 sq ft really thats a small yard called them 24hrs before I decided to cancel they said I have 297.00 credit in my account a day later there saying I owe them 653.00 That's 953.00 I paid them to use them for 3days not to mention I paid them 300bto set up there horrible and refuse to give you your money please dont use them...

This is absolutely the worse company I have ever worked with. They will change the way they send you leads and then charge you extra money without your permission. The last straw was the new "pay online" feature. They quoted one of my jobs without my permission, charged the customers card, and supposedly scheduled the job. The next thing I know the customers calls to confirm a appointment that I had no idea was suppose to be on my schedule because no one from home advisor bothered to call and schedule it. So I had to rearrange everything to get this poor customer on my schedule because she had already paid for it. It has been over two weeks no one knows where the money is and how I am going to get paid for this job. Do not work with this company!
