The difference

Every figure comes from the offers themselves. Stated package values are each provider’s own estimate of what their bundle is worth, and most of the work in them is performed by named third parties the provider brings along.
I need work doneHow it works
Three steps, whichever side of the job you are on
The same marketplace, read from both directions.
Step 1: Describe the job once
A few sentences, a ZIP code and a timeline. No phone calls, no account fee, and nobody gets your number until you decide to give it out.
Step 2: Providers compete for it
Every qualified provider in range can bid — nobody is picked for you. Offers are whole packages rather than a single price, and providers can improve theirs while bidding is open.
Step 3: Compare, then pick
The offers land side by side with what each one includes and what it leaves out. Pick the one you want, or pick nobody at all.
Free for homeowners. Always.
Posting a request, comparing offers, messaging providers, and hiring are free and always will be. There is no seeker tier to upgrade to.
Homeowners and businesses
- Post as many requests as you need
- Receive unlimited competing offers
- Compare bundles side by side
- Message every provider who bids
- Pick whoever you want, or nobody at all
Providers pay for membership. That is the whole business model, and it is why nothing on the homeowner side needs a card.

This week
Top listing agents in the Chicago Metro this week
Ranked on completed jobs, rating quality, reply speed, bid win rate and how recently they showed up. Recency is weighted heavily enough that the list actually moves.

Featured placement is a paid product. It is always labelled and it never moves a provider above rank they earned.

Illustrative — sample dataReviews land after both sides mark the job done
WhoIPick has not opened, so these are sample reviews written to show the format — not quotes from real customers. Every score is shown with the number of reviews behind it. A 5.0 from three jobs is not a 4.8 from three hundred, and we will not display it as though it were.
Installed on the day they promised
Three rooms, no drama, and the de-stage was included rather than a surprise invoice. My photographer said it was the best-staged vacant he had shot this year.
SellerWheatonHired Fig Tree Staging Co. 4.8 out of 5 from 163 reviewsFlat price on a third-floor walk-up
Every other quote was hourly, which on those stairs is a blank cheque. They took the piano down three flights without a scratch and filed the COI without being chased.
SellerEvanstonHired Lakefront Movers 4.5 out of 5 from 341 reviewsHe sorted instead of dumping
My mother's things went to the Brown Elephant, not a landfill, and Petey got me the receipt without being reminded. That mattered to us more than the price.
