Question

Are Freeestimate .com A Good Lead Service?


My appologies to everyone as far as it goes to my incomlete profile!
I am running a construction firm in North Carolina and was wondeing if any of you guys had experience with the joblead service "freeestimate.com"

My website and listing is great, I can tell because this is the third company calling ME, to try to get me enrolled into their program.
In the past I spend a couple grand's at ServiceMagic and I did ok.

But this last ones are trying to get me to pre pay, or buying a bundel and I am not sure about spending money up front if I do not not if and what i'll get for it.

One of the service providers was everycontractor.com and after we got off the phone I googel'd them; boy they have a s*** load of bad press but I can't find nothing on freeestimate.com!?
Please share your knollage

It's actually myfreeestimates.com. Google them and check out all of the bad press as well as in this forum. You want to deal with a company that actually contacts 100% of the homeowners. Service Magic, everycontractor, MFE, and 99% of the companies in this industry have no actual human interaction with the homeowners. So you may get disconnected numbers, people don't own the home, they don't have a budget, they've already recieved 8 estimates and are just looking for the best price possible.

Don't waste your $$$ with them.
The majority of the leads are no good, some are fake leads. The customers do not answer the phone call and do not return the phone calls. The company is also unethical, liar, doesn't keep their words, ....
