Useful Websites #3

 

I have joined the blog-a-day blogathon for next 30 days. This is day 3 of the 30-day-challenge.

In these 30 days, what better could it be to share something either I learned from some of the ActiveRainers or some other resource online and share it with the group?

At times, I may not know where and how I learnt about the websites and may not be able to give due credit to someone who informed me about that, but I still want to Thank all of them who contributed to my knowledge which I plan to share.

You can create a free account on many of these websites and some of them may have some minimal subscription fees. I am sure, these websites will help you in your business - one way or another.

(Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any of these websites not do I derive any income from any of these sites - except that I do subscribe to some of these services.)

Here is #3:

http://www.AllConnect.com

Allconnect

As the tagline for this website says, it surely is one less thing to worry about.

What does it do?

Connect Phone, TV, Internet, Home Security & more!

And who can use it? I believe, it is an excellent tool for your buyers as well as move up (or down) sellers. Once they are ready to close on the new home, just plug-in the new home address and bingo! This is what  you get out of this website:

Compare prices on electric companies, gas companies, local phone service, cable, satellite or fiber optic TV, high speed Internet bundles and more. We can help you get connected whether you're moving or simply trying to lower your bills. Save time, money and frustration by ordering all of your home services at one time. It's fast, easy and free!

Here is what the website claims - and to an extent, I do agree with this statement:

If you're moving or simply want to lower your bills, we'll get you connected with the lowest price on ALL the home services you need for your home.

They also run specials - and I had checked some of the prices - they give one of the best deals.

About AllConnect (from their website):

Allconnect is the leading provider for connecting consumers with home services and utilities. Since 1998, we have helped millions of people set up services like power, home phone, cable and satellite television, high speed Internet and home security, all at no cost. It takes just one click or call to find the greatest selection and guaranteed best price on the services that matter most for your home.

And, once you provide this information to your clients - you are the HERO!

I hope you like this website.

Praful, this sounds like a great idea, but I know some folks who have used some of these "connect everything" services, and the problem is that when anything goes wrong, there is nobody to complain to.  Everybody passes the buck.

I was aware of this service but haven't known anyone to use it. Karen does make a valid point of who to blame it things go awry.

I have already bookmarked the site.  This will be very helpful for my buyers.  Good for "added value".  Thanks.
