New Directory, Classified Ad and Verification Site Targets Home Service and Care Markets

Posted on: Thursday, 4 June 2009, 06:50 CDT

PITTSBURGH, June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Hometemps.com announces the launch of its new home service advertising and verification site for home service providers and caregivers. The new web site publishes home service provider classified ads and directory listings. Hometemps also offers advertisers verification services, including customer and character references, employment eligibility, licensing and insurance compliance and screens for criminal and sex offender history. The site is geared toward home service providers such as housekeepers, carpenters, nurses, contractors, cleaners, companions, painters, handymen, electricians, lawn care and others. Unlike home and caregiver service referral companies, hometemps.com charges a low flat annual fee. There are no referral fees.

"We have combined state-of-the-art Internet advertising, technology and background investigation systems to create the only classified advertising site with a fully integrated listing and verification service," explains Hometemps' Founder, Kirstan Johnson. Hometemps members can list as self-verified or enroll in one of several different verification and screening programs to earn the Verified by Hometemps(sm) designation.

"As the economy stabilizes, boomers age and housing growth flattens, we see good growth in the residential services market, especially for the smallest of small businesses or micro-businesses. Micro-businesses are businesses started by no or low overhead entrepreneurs who work from home or in people's homes as trainers, pet sitters, cooks, companions, home nurses, window cleaners, handypersons, housekeepers, painters, etc. The types of services micro-businesses need, such as advertising, human resources, customer service and scheduling, must be micro in cost. Our micro-business directory listing plan is a great starting place for these no/low capitalized entrepreneurs," says Johnson.

Hometemps is located in Wexford, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, and is on the Internet at http://www.hometemps.com.
