Why NEO31 is different
Built for the people the platforms keep ripping off.
Homeowners, realtors and trades all pay the old platforms first — for leads, for listings, for ranking — and get served last. NEO31 was built the other way round. The platforms earn when the lead is sold. NEO31 earns only when the work is done. That one difference is the whole company — and below is exactly how it works, audience by audience.
NEO31 — the network that cares.
For homeowners
You are not the platforms’ customer. Your phone number is their product.
What you’re done with
- ✗Your job, sold to a crowd. Your post is blasted to a pile of pros who each paid for your name — then they race to underbid each other for it.
- ✗The no-show. The cheapest bidder vanishes, and the platform that sold your number has nobody to call and nothing to fix.
- ✗Bought trust. Rankings and badges money can buy — stars that say nothing about whether the work was ever finished.
- ✗Pay first, argue later. Money committed before you can judge the work, and a dispute means a help-centre maze.
How NEO31 answers
- ✓One pro at a time. Your job is offered exclusively to a single pro, whose licence is checked against the official register before matching. Insurance is not verified — ask your pro for a certificate if you need one.
- ✓A progress pie, updated daily. You watch a chart of your job fill in as the work advances, with photos — silence is impossible, and a missed day flags itself to us.
- ✓You approve completion. Payment is released when you approve the finished work — photos and the final amount on the record — never before.
- ✓A complaint desk that is permanently free. If anything goes wrong, a person reads every complaint. That never becomes a paid tier.
For realtors
You win the listing. Then the platforms charge you to reach the buyer for it.
What you’re done with
- ✗$36,000 into Zillow, nothing to show for it — one agent’s own words on G2. Leads at $800 each, sold to your competitors at the same time.
- ✗$680 a month to Realtor.com for what another agent called “fake crap leads” — on a contract that renewed itself when he tried to leave.
- ✗The 30% referral bite. Partner programs keep 30% of your commission for sending you what their own agents describe as crumbs — one closed a single deal from 500 buyer leads.
- ✗Paying for your own listing’s leads. Homes.com charges roughly $475–$500 a month for “your listing, your lead” — a membership fee to receive enquiries your work already earned.
- ✗Sunday nights chasing contractors. Texting cleaners, confirming handymen — and when a vendor no-shows, it lands on your reputation, not theirs.
How NEO31 answers
- ✓Exclusive seller leads. A lead goes to one realtor only — never shared, never raced — priced by the home’s value (C$279 under $500K, C$559 at $500K–$1M in Canada), charged as a delivered introduction, and refunded automatically if the lead is invalid.
- ✓Free profile. Free listings. No subscription, no membership, nothing that renews itself behind your back.
- ✓We never take a cut of your commission. Not 30%, not anything. The trades side pays NEO31 — you don’t.
- ✓The headaches move to us. Listing prep and closing repairs run through NEO31: one register-checked pro per job, held to account until it’s done. You post once; we carry the chasing.
For trades
You do the work. The platforms take their cut before you’ve lifted a tool.
What you’re done with
- ✗$50–$60 for one Angi lead — then the same lead is sold to a row of your competitors, so every job starts as a race you already paid to enter.
- ✗Fees before the work. HomeStars and Thumbtack subscriptions and per-lead charges land in good weeks and bad — whether a single job does or not.
- ✗Pay-to-play ranking. Pay more, appear higher — your reputation, rented back to you.
- ✗Contracts that renew themselves, and cancellations designed to fail.
How NEO31 answers
- ✓Free to join. No per-lead fees. No subscription. There is nothing to renew and nothing to cancel.
- ✓15% only when a job is completed — 10% when the same homeowner books you again. Founding Pros pay 0% on their first completed job.
- ✓You’re the only pro. A job is offered to one licence-checked pro at a time — your licence checked against the official register before matching.
- ✓Preferred Listing is visibility only. It never buys ranking, placement or dispatch priority — for anyone, at any price.
See how it works
How NEO31 matching works: one job, one licence-checked pro, pay only when it’s done.
NEO31 is new, and we build market by market — so this page carries no ratings we haven’t earned, no review counts, and no job volume we don’t have. What we promise is the structure above, in plain sight, on every job. We are fed up with watching customers, realtors and trades get ripped off. This is the alternative, and it gets paid last — when the work is done.
The network that cares.
The platforms earn when the lead is sold. NEO31 earns only when the work is done.
