Most people are too busy for DIY…
DIY’s share of home improvement spending has experienced a decline from 25.5% in 2003 to 15.1% in 2018. “Why do it if someone else can do it… also, comes down to time value of money.2

Home Improvement Spending is on the INCREASE!
As more people either upgrade their existing homes or buy a new home to fix up, the annual amount spent on home improvement projects rose to more than $230 billion.

This is why we have added Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) to assist you with keeping in contact and growing your LTV.
