·wondering how many vendors are staying busy with fas since they lost amh contract.
So do I. They're forcing you out. Someone has offered to do the work for less than you...ARpreservation said:Not me. Just lost all of my AMHSI snowplows last week. So now Im down to 8 properties in 150 mile routeCripes, I remember the good ol' days when we had 35 properties and alot of snow. Such a fantastic year! Makes me wonder which vendors screw us ALL out of work. I wish they would pick up another good contract. Kinda holding out to see if some vendors drop off so I will pick up.
Oh BTW now if you have snows that dont drop you dont call your re-coord. You have to call each PM individually...ugh! Pain!
I want the old FAS days back!
Someone here posted that they cut over 1500 vendors and furloughed several hindered employees. I guess my competitions inside scoop was telling no lie.d+jhomeservices said:wondering how many vendors are staying busy with fas since they lost amh contract.
In the first 6 years, we made a KILLING with them.mtmtnman said:I don't know how y'all made any $$$$ with FAS in the 1st place. Hell i was getting 100% QC scores from my brokers and still was getting my work picked apart!!! I consider them one of the biggest thieves in the industry. Jobs i would get $2,000 broker direct they where wanting to pay $600.What a joke. I guess that is one of the things about working for brokers in a way. You learn what things REALLY pay and then you feel slighted when a National tries to feed you dogfood instead of steak!!!! Honestly these Nationals have cut rates SO low trying to cut each others throats there is no money in it for anyone BUT the nationals nowdays. Their 20-25% discount is more that a contractor has left in the end and what do they have for expense? A few office people in India?? Hell i wouldn't bee as bitter about the discounts if they paid immediately but they hold you out 45-90 days so they don't even have the expense of factoring!!!!!

Trust me when I say that we would all love to be doing broker work! I know how to work up clients, generate leads, do or ect. I worked sales for years and had to self generate all of my clients. But the fact is, some areas like mine Brokers and Realtors do their own work. or their husband, son, nephew, brother in law, or friend is doing it. We know its not suppose to happen, but frankly it does. I can rattle off a dozen reo brokers and know exactly who they are hiring to do their pp work. I know several doing their own, a few sons are doing it, several spouses. It's frustrating, but that's how it is here. There may be a few Brokers who don't, and I continue to call on them.mtmtnman said:I don't know how y'all made any $$$$ with FAS in the 1st place.

After the the community agitator took office it slowly went down hill.mtmtnman said:Was this previous to the mess our country is in now??
FAS only requires a 25 ft plow on drive way and path to front door if snow is 3 inches or higher. If there is ice on the drive way more than 2 inches, bid as over the allowable or call in for price increase.mtmtnman said:Here's an FAS snowplow job...............
We made more money doing 1/5th the work load from other nationals before we finally kicked them to the curb. Spent so much time chasing our tails over their ca ca we didn't realize it soon enough.d+jhomeservices said:wondering how many vendors are staying busy with fas since they lost amh contract.
