I had to call for a reimbursement. Well 2. Because they were denies. The first one the guy spoke Spanish. I do not speak spanish or other employees. There is no way we can run the appointment to give a price. We would not know what he is looking, we could not answer his questions, he could not answer our questions. The leads cost us $32.75 Home Avisor said they would credit me back $30.00 I figured fine I was busy and it was only $2.75 But after thinking about it they should have dine a full credit. If they do this throughout the day to 500 business's they profited $1375. 00
I received another lead that was denied. The guy did a garage floor for his customer. He messed it up. It was unlevel and needed to be re-done. He was paying for it. The problem is I told Home Advisor he is NOT the home owner. We give warranties and have a legal contract for the homeowner to sign. Home Advisor said they would reimburse me $15.00 I told them that was unacceptable. The lead cost $28.57 Home Advisor said well we could not get a hold of him, no one else sent this in for reimbursement. I told them well maybe they could not reach him like you could not. Them the lady said it is considered a lead because he is paying for the job. I told her we signed up to get leads from Homeowners NOT sub-contractors. My boss then got on the phone and said so what your telling me is you would rather loose our business over $28.57? She said she could not do anything and he asked to speak to someone that could make a business decision since she was not authorized to. She then said she would do a one time credit. If this happens again they are losing our business. They are on thin ice with us. We have another business we use to use them for and stopped bc the quality of leads went down and they did not reimburse you back fairly. Ever since they combined with Angie's List THEY WENT DOWN. I use to love them and got other business's to sign up with them bc they were great to deal with. NOT the same anymore. Save your money and spend it elsewhere. STAY AWAY FROM HOME ADVISOR & ANGIES LIST... Thay just want your money and don't care about the lead quality.
