Listing prep ·
Clean, paint touch-ups, exterior wash and small repairs, priced together, scheduled to finish before the photo day. Price it →
Tick the flagged items before subject removal (seller) or after possession (buyer). Drywall, paint, gutters, handyman work, cleaning, pressure washing and deck fixes get an instant price from the same engines as our booking page. Roof, electrical, plumbing, gas and structural items show as “we’ll find you a quote” — no price and no timing promise; we tell you within 2 business days whether we can source a licensed pro. Upload the inspection report for the pros to read; we never turn it into prices automatically. Start the list →
Move-out for the seller or move-in for the buyer, tied to the completion date, with window cleaning and a block of small repairs as add-ons. Book it →
You enter a first name, the job and the city. Your client gets a link with your name on it and books through our normal page, typing their own details — you never hand over a phone number, email or address. By BC real estate rules you receive nothing from Prontco for the introduction, and the client is told so on the page. You see status only (requested, booked, done) unless the client ticks “share the price and paperwork”. Make a link →
The seller or client, by card once the job is confirmed. You are never invoiced. Brokerages Hayden has approved can be invoiced instead; that option appears on your page once it’s switched on.
Yes — that’s the only way it works here. First name, job, city; the link does the rest, and the client types their own details.
The seller or the client, by card, once the job is confirmed. Realtors aren’t invoiced. Approved brokerages can choose to be.
Nothing — no fee, credit, gift or priority. BC’s real estate rules on referral compensation are why, and your client sees that line on the page.
Listing prep fails on sequencing more than on budget. Paint before carpet; repairs before paint; the deep clean last, after every trade has finished walking through with boots on. Photography after all of it, in daylight, which in a Metro Vancouver winter is a narrower window than the schedule usually assumes.
Usually the longest lead time, because it is the one where someone has to look at the job before quoting it. Book it the day the listing agreement is signed, not the day the photographer is booked.
Interior repaint of the occupied rooms is the highest-return item on most listings and the one most often cut for time. Exterior work in this climate is weather-bound — most coatings want surface temperatures around 10°C and a dry substrate, so from late autumn it may simply not be available at any price.
A driveway and siding wash changes the first photo more than anything else at the same cost, and on a shaded north-facing surface the moss is the first thing a buyer sees. Landscaping tidy-up runs the same week.
A pre-photo clean and a post-possession move-out clean are two different jobs at two different prices, and confusing them in the seller conversation is how one of them ends up unpaid.

A three-bed move-out clean, the single most-asked listing job, prices at $421 on our cleaning calculator at the middle of the range. Every figure links to the calculator that produced it, so the seller can see the working.
When you hand a seller a name, you are lending them your judgement. If that contractor damages the property, is uninsured, or leaves an unpaid WorkSafeBC assessment behind, the conversation comes back to you before it goes anywhere else — and under section 258 of the Workers Compensation Act, liability for a contractor’s unpaid assessments can fall on the party the work was done for. That is why four checks are worth doing once on anyone you recommend more than once:
Why each one matters, at length, is on our page for homeowners; the version written for strata councils who have to document it is the clearance letter brief.
Tell us the address, the deadline and what needs doing. We dispatch from a list where all four checks are already on file, the price is set before anyone is assigned, and the seller or client pays by card once the job is confirmed — you are never invoiced.
