The Fenandez Family's crawlspace creep
Fast - Do they want your money NOW?
Funds - Is the amount of investment far smaller than the promised pay-off? That's a formula for too good to be true!
Found - A person who intends to rip you off will make certain he can't be found after he gets your money
Define - Your deal by comparing Products, Offers and Prices.
Ensure - Your deal with an Ethical negotiation, an Equitable contract and an Effective Guarantee. The Fernandez family did virtually everything right. They checked references and made certain they had an effective guarantee. The problem was, the contractor couldn't make money off fixing their problem, so he kept putting their repairs on the back burner.
Authenticate - Your deal by requesting References, checking Reviews, and examining government and watchdog reports. The Fernandez family smartly forced the contractor's hand by "reporting" the problem to TrustDALE. Today they have a ship shape home.
Legitimize - Your deal by determining if the company has a business license, liability insurance and is Lawsuit and background checked.
