## The renovation market

With moving costs high, more homeowners improve rather than move, which keeps extension and refurb demand strong. The challenge is separating serious projects from people fishing for a ballpark, because a wasted site visit costs you half a day.

## Where the leads come from

Word of mouth is your best source but unpredictable. A marketplace gives you a controllable flow of qualified projects, so a quiet month never turns into a bad quarter.

## How to convert them

Qualify budget and scope on the phone before you book a visit. On the visit, sell your process and reliability, not just price, then follow up with a clear, itemised quote. Persistence closes big jobs.

AceLeads matches you to homeowners with a real project and budget, so your surveyors quote real work.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I avoid time-wasters?

Qualify budget and scope before you visit. A good lead source shows you the project type and budget band up front so you can skip the fishing trips.

### Are these homeowners or trade?

Predominantly homeowners planning work on their own property and ready to speak to a builder.
