Has anyone used anything like Service magic? I am interested in expanding a bit and would love any info people have about any companies they might have used. I am in the Westchester NY area and am skeptical about anyone who wants money upfront for a service I have no real information on. Is it worth it? Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I messed around with ServiceMagic for a while, and I'm not impressed. Lots of wasted time, and money. They act like the leads are qualified, but they are not. I paid $45 for a build an addition lead, called the guy, and he wanted a square foot guestimate. Not even planning on building, just trying to figure out how much his neighbor spent on an addition.
I used them for 3 or 4 months, and sold 2 jobs total. I made all my money back in one of the jobs, but there is no way to recoup all the wasted time.
