For Contractors, Vendors & Service Providers
Most lead platforms send you names and hope for the best. Home Buddha is different. We've already been in the home, earned the homeowner's trust, and identified exactly what they need. When we refer you — they're ready to move forward.
"Think Angie's List — but we've already been in the home, earned their trust, and confirmed the need for your services. This means a much higher likelihood you get the job."
Pre-qualified opportunities
Every referral is tied to a verified, active need — not someone casually browsing. These are homeowners who already know what the problem is and are ready to hire.
High-volume professional network
Gain exposure to agents managing frequent closings, investors with multiple properties, and motivated homeowners — the clients who generate consistent, repeat business.
Built-in trust
Being listed inside Home Buddha adds legitimacy. Homeowners already trust the platform — and that trust transfers to every provider we recommend.
Long-term relationships
Homes need ongoing maintenance, repairs, and upgrades for as long as someone lives there. One client through Home Buddha can become years of recurring business.
Less marketing spend
Stop paying for ads that generate tire-kickers. Home Buddha brings motivated homeowners to you — so you spend less time prospecting and more time working.
Cross-referral network
Get referred by homeowners, agents, investors, and other service providers in the network. As the ecosystem grows, so does the volume of referrals flowing your way.
We visit the home
A Home Buddha professional conducts a Home Health Checkup, documents the home's condition, and identifies service needs.
We identify the need
Specific services are flagged in the report — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, cleaning, renovation, and more.
We refer you directly
We recommend up to 3 network providers based on plan tier. Advanced members get first priority. The homeowner already trusts us — so they trust you.
You close the job
You receive a warm introduction to a motivated homeowner with a confirmed need. A referral fee applies based on job size — only when work is awarded.
| Job size | Referral fee | Why it makes sense |
|---|---|---|
| Under $1,000 | $50 flat | Small jobs, small fee — still a high-quality warm referral |
| $1,000 – $3,000 | $150 flat | Mid-size jobs with strong margin — the referral more than pays for itself |
| $3,000 – $10,000 | $200 flat | Significant projects with motivated, trust-ready clients |
| Over $10,000 | 5% of total bid | Large projects where the referral relationship has the highest value |
