Hey showintellservices , i truly am sorry to hear that you work for home
advisor ! That must suck ! how do you sleep at night knowing you screw soo
many legitimate businesses ? Let me tell you ? I own TWO SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSES and make a ton of $ every year. You know why, because i stay
away from companies like homeadvisor. You clearly don’t understand how
business works. which is ok cause if it were easy everyone would have there
own business which is why you will always end up working for some scum bag
co. like homeadvisor ! . Check out there reviews online if you think were a
select few ! IDIOT ! ! ! As far as hiding goes, everyone knows where to
find me, where are you , you PIECE OF SHIT ! TIME FOR SHOW IN TELL ! come
and get it ! CRY BABY !

Thanks for taking the time to leave your honest impression of the
HomeAdvisor service. I think your “cost” for 1 job was off though (unless I
missed it in the video). You covered the cost of the six bonafide leads and
your other costs like gas, employee cost, etc but you said it took you
about 20 calls to get 6 legitimate leads and I don’t think you covered that
you had to pay for those other 14 calls at $20.00 bucks a pop as well.
That’s another $280.00 expense to get that job. Like I say, maybe I missed
it but, if anything, you were under playing how badly you got screwed. In
any event, a good video like yours will save a lot of people from making
the same mistake.

Thanks for the vid, wish I would have done my due diligence before I signed
up. Fortunately I figured out the scam within the first couple of leads, I
mean bogus leads. I just have one thing to say about home crapvisor…RUN
FOR THE HILLS!!!!!

I join them when they were ServiceMagic they did the same at that time they
would send leads to 6 people and and it was very difficult to get any of
the work a lot of it was bogus then they started calling me is home advisor
and I told them to not call me anymore because I got tired of getting
ripped off I lost money when I was working for them under ServiceMagic

Home Advisor called and I was going to join when I heard it was $13 a lead.
I decided against it when they tried to tack on a $300 annual membership
fee. From your video it sounds like they are deceitful in their dealings.
I’m glad I didn’t sign up for them.
