Finding and Quoting Available Jobs

Open maintenance requests that match your service categories and area show up on Available Jobs. Submit a quote, and the landlord decides whether to move forward — you accept the assignment afterward from My Jobs.

Go to Available Jobs

What shows up here

A request appears on Available Jobs only if all of the following are true:

  • It is still open and has no job assigned yet
  • It matches one of your service categories on your Business Profile — if you have not picked any categories yet, every open request is shown
  • It is within your service radius (10, 25, 50, or 100 miles from your business zip code). If you have not set a zip code, distance is not checked and every request in your categories stays listed

Filter tabs across the top let you narrow the list to a single category. A running count ("Showing 1–25 of N") and Previous/Next links appear once there is more than one page of results.

Available for Jobs must be on

New quotes are paused while Available for Jobs is off on your Business Profile. Turn it back on to see and quote open jobs again — jobs you are already assigned to are unaffected either way.

Platinum first look

Platinum subscribers ($5/month) see newly posted jobs before they open to everyone else. Free vendors still see and can quote every job once its first-look window ends — Platinum does not change the platform fee, only the timing.

Reviewing a job before you quote

Opening a job from the list shows:

  • The full issue title, description, and priority (Emergency / High / Normal / Low)
  • The property address and category
  • An AI-generated cost estimate and triage summary, when the landlord's request included one
  • Any photos the tenant or landlord attached, opened full-size in a new tab

Submitting your quote

Below the job details, the quote form asks for:

  • Quote amount — the total you would bill, at least $1.00
  • Estimated days to complete — between 1 and 180 days
  • Notes (optional) — scope of work, parts included, access requirements

As soon as you enter a valid amount, a preview shows the platform fee and your payout at that price (3% platform fee, so your payout preview is 97% of the quote). Submitting takes you straight to the job's detail page.

Quoting does not assign the job to you

Submitting a quote lets the landlord see your estimate — it does not reserve the job. Multiple vendors can quote the same request. Once a landlord proceeds with your quote, the request becomes a job assigned to you, and you accept or decline it from My Jobs. See Managing Your Jobs: From Assigned to Paid for what happens next, including the identity verification you need before you can accept.
