Not that we don't love blogging for you but we have a ton o' stuff to do today. Also, I have a lot of these fancy soup can graphics to use up here. So I won't be posting a lot here today, though even this is more than some bloggers do for you.
I was awakened this morn by a call from another contractor's representative who told me I was on the Preferred Homeowners list but wouldn't tell me who sells this list or where they got their copy. I told him this homeowner prefers not to get these calls. Interestingly, he told me — I dunno how true this is — that he calls everyone on the hunk of the list assigned to them except those who are marked "in bid," meaning a contractor who subscribes to the list is trying to close a deal with the homeowner. This, presumably, is to prevent one of them from underbidding another.
I thought these calls came from various firms that just bought the list and then it was every man for himself…but apparently, there's some tracking and constant updating of prospects. I think I'll try telling the next few that I no longer own the house. I've moved into a condo that has a maintenance contract with some company so I'm no longer in a position to hire contractors. Wonder if that'll get me off this list. I'm willing to sacrifice the pride I get from being a Preferred Homeowner to make the calls stop.
See you later…maybe.
