Check out Fixr – the “eBay for Contractors.”

via futureofrealestatemarketing.com

I am always impressed with a company that has a unique idea and value proposition.

Home improvement is always a hot topic – and usually something that Realtors know a good deal about. As a Realtor, you know how important an upgraded kitchen or bath can be when listing a home, or how it pays to scrape the “popcorn” off your ceiling, or even the power of new lighting throughout the home to make it “light and bright.” When a home is picture perfect it makes it that much easier to sell, and to sell for the best price possible.

Fixr is a home improvement site that I was first introduced to on LinkedIn. Described by the press as an “ebay for contractors”, fixR is a Home Improvement, Renovations & Repair services marketplace.

How Fixr works:

  1. Describe your project and post it 100% free
  2. Get estimates from qualified pros in your area (love the local feature!)
  3. Pick the best based on quality, reputation and price

Pretty cool concept! I really like this for a home owner but also for the agent.
