Vetting Process for Real Estate and Home Industry Professionals

We take the credibility and reliability of our sources seriously.

Our vetting process ensures that the professionals we feature meet stringent criteria to provide our audience with accurate and trustworthy information. If you have a groundbreaking home solution, don’t let the following intimidate you. We still want to hear about it.

Below are the steps we take to verify the credibility of our sources:

Work-related Photos and Customer Stories

We scrutinize work-related photos and customer stories provided by professionals to ensure authenticity and relevance to their expertise.

Positive Customer Feedback

We review customer feedback to gauge the reputation and reliability of the professional within the industry.

Permits and Credentials Verification

We verify permits, licenses, and credentials to ensure that professionals are qualified and compliant with industry standards and regulations.

Conflict of Interest Check

We thoroughly investigate for any potential conflicts of interest that may compromise the objectivity of the information provided. This includes checking for any pending lawsuits or financial ties to products and companies relevant to the content.

Validation of Licenses and Credentials

We validate current licenses and credentials claimed by professionals to ensure their legitimacy.

Follow-up and Verification of Extraordinary Claims

Any extraordinary claims made by professionals are subjected to follow-up inquiries and verification processes to maintain accuracy and credibility.

How We Check Sources

In addition to the above steps, we employ various methods to verify the credibility of our sources:

    • Scouring Social Media: We review the social media accounts of professionals to assess their public presence and affiliations.
    • Examining Work History and Public Affiliations: We delve into the work history and public affiliations of professionals to gauge their expertise and credibility.
    • Researching Interviews by Other Publications: We research if professionals have been interviewed by other reputable publications to further validate their expertise.

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

We maintain transparency regarding any conflicts of interest identified during our vetting process. Professionals are asked standardized questions about financial ties to relevant products and companies. Affirmative answers do not disqualify them but require transparent disclosure in our content.

Our aim is to ensure thoroughness in our assessment and transparency about our vetting process to uphold the integrity of the information we provide to our audience.
