Why HandNorth · 10
Post once. Quotes. Hire one. Not sold to three neighbours.
Homeowners post once. Pros send a quote on that job. We do not sell the same contact to a stack of contractors. That is the opposite of pay-per-lead.

Do you sell my job as a shared lead?
A HandNorth job is one project on one file. The homeowner posts once in a live visit city. Professionals who cover that city can send an all-in quote. The homeowner hires one. We do not sell that phone number or email as a lead pack to three neighbouring crews. Pros do not pay per contact. They pay for access: a plan, six months at $0 for new Pros, then the package. While quotes are open, messages stay with the pro who received them. After award, only the hired visit writes. 0% on the completed job. Card billing is on the way. We will not dress a shared lead as a marketplace. Catalog Request a visit is not a blast to every van on the South Shore. A booked visit is live in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard and Terrebonne. Find elsewhere does not turn a Toronto search into a sold contact.
Jobs this rule applies to
These six Greater Montreal job pages use the same all-in quote, catalog label, and visit cities. Each spoke has its own copy.
Marketplace vs pay-per-lead
| HandNorth | A shared lead |
|---|---|
| One job file | The same contact sold several times |
| Quote is your price on that visit | You buy a name, then chase it |
| Hire one; one thread after | Several crews calling the same kitchen |
| Access plan, 0% of the job | Pay per contact, often on top of a cut |
What Pros actually buy
Access: live cities, job opportunities in those cities, a listing, messages. Not a stack of exclusive-sounding leads that three other vans also bought. New Pros: six months at $0, then Starter, Growth or Pro. Stripe Checkout bills CAD packages; Book still does not charge.
What homeowners actually post
One form. Photos, city, the work. Quotes come in. Hire one. You are not paying us to spray your number. If a listing comes down mid-thread, we tell you. Report goes to a person at hello@handnorth.com.

Questions on this rule
Do you sell the same job to several Pros?
No. One job, quotes, one hire. We do not sell the homeowner’s contact to a stack of neighbours.
Do Pros pay per lead?
No. They pay for access. 0% on the completed job. See public pricing.
Can several Pros still quote?
Yes. That is a marketplace. Selling the same contact as a lead pack is the thing we do not do.
Is the homeowner’s phone sold with the job?
No. Chat stays on the thread. We do not sell that contact as a lead pack.
Do I pay to see a job in my city?
Access is the plan, not a per-job unlock. Job opportunities follow the cities on your file.
