How do I recommend a service provider to a client?
Open Service providers, find a mover, cleaner, inspector or other provider in your market, choose Recommend and copy the link for your client. Requests that come through your link appear under My referrals.
Open Service providers in the left menu. It shows the providers listed on Housing Market Services in the market of your portal, and it is part of every plan. The menu item appears when the service marketplace is open in your market.
- Use the filters to find one: Category (movers, cleaners, inspectors, lawyers, photographers, handymen or interior designers), City or the whole market, and Business name.
- Each card shows the provider's rating and number of reviews, a price to start from where it has one, and a Verified or Featured label where it has one. Choose Open profile to read the provider's page.
- Choose Recommend to make a link for your client. Choose Copy link and send it to the client in your own message.
The link opens the provider's page on the portal and carries your referral. Your referral is tracked for 30 days from the day the link was made, and the screen shows the date it ends. If referral tracking is not available, the screen says the link does not carry your referral code.
When a client sends a request to a provider through your link, it appears under My referrals, with who contacted which business and its status: Waiting for the provider, Accepted, Declined, Completed, Cancelled or Expired. The totals of requests, accepted and completed are shown at the top.
