Do you manage several properties and have a budget of thousands (even millions) for property maintenance each year? How do you ensure that each time there is sufficient transparency in service provider hiring method, invoices, and payments? How do you ensure that for each job (even as small as $100) you got the best quote? This task becomes even more cumbersome if you manage properties in different regions across the country. At Genie Bazaar, we understand the problems a large company faces specially when they have geographically remote offices.

This helps you in consolidating expenses not only for reporting and accounting purposes but also for analyzing expenses at property or job level. How much does this service cost you? Nothing!

How is GenieBazaar.com different than other freelance service provider websites?

Here is our value proposition for you:

Local and Online Services

  1. Identity Verification: With increasing online frauds related to payments, we think it is essential for any freelance company to verify the identities of not only freelancers but also customers. This way both parties can increase their trust in each other. This service costs us money, however, we believe that this is an integral part of any trust based service and thus we provide it for FREE.    
  2.  

  3. Local Services Pricing: Industry average fee per lead is anywhere between $7 – $55 depending upon the nature and size of the work irrespective of whether you ultimately end up getting a job or not!! We don’t think that way! We believe that you should pay us only if you get the job. Therefore, we have structured our pricing in 2 parts. We charge as low as $2.99  per lead for covering our costs associated with getting a lead. After you get the lead, we charge a percentage of entire labor cost.  Let’s take an example. If you were with one of our competitors and were able to convert one of 5 leads for a $2,000 job, then you would have ended up paying at least $250 for that $2,000 job. With our method, you would have ended up paying much less! If you opt for our premium account then apart from a small monthly fee you don’t have to pay us ANYTHING for getting UNLIMITED leads. Yes, that’s true! Other companies also charge a registration fee while geniebazaar.com bears that cost for all our users.
  4.  

  5. Online Services Pricing: Industry average project fees are approximately 10% for basic accounts and 5% for upgrades which cost anywhere between $30-$100 per month. We believe that we exist because of our customers and freelancers. By charging just 7% for basic account and 3% for premium account we increase freelancer’s satisfaction and thus his commitment towards his projects.
  6.  

  7. Culture: We start from customer satisfaction and work backwards. This ensures that service providers will gain repeat business from our customers. With our proprietary “Trust ratings”, we help customers with choosing trustworthy freelancers. These ratings are given by Genie Bazaar after taking into account plenty of factors which a customer generally considers before hiring online or local freelance service providers.

I wish I had a freelance genie!

I have fancied this thought since my childhood watching Sidney Sheldon’s sitcom “I dream of Jeannie”. Things would have become so simple! For example, a person who is shifting his house or buying a new one has to worry about a ton of things. Labor, painter, landscaper, maid, house cleaner, plumber, remodeler, roofer, carpet installer, carpenter are just few of them. Things which complicate it further are whether I can trust the people I am hiring? Is it safe to invite them home? Will they do a quality job? Do they have references? Are they qualified and licensed? Can their identity be verified? Do they carry a liability insurance? If we just count these factors, there are 7*10 = 70 different factors to worry about. Some other factors such as getting the best price, safe monetary transactions, nearby locality have yet not been considered. Wish you had a Genie?

Geniebazaar.com (marketplace for services) is an attempt at simplifying all these factors and presenting them at one place so that you can make the best decision. GenieBazaar.com has a pool of qualified and trusted professionals near your locality who have been verified, individually. Hire, Manage, Pay, it’s that simple! As soon as you post a job that post is sent to top quality professionals in your area via SMS and E-mails. Moreover, if you opt-in for bidding, service providers will bid on your job so that you can get the most bang for your buck. You get free quotes and you don’t have any obligation to hire someone. Isn’t that how a Genie would do it? Hope you like us.
