Nice Timing....FAS Flat Fee Notification

Thanks to AMS and LPS driving down these prices.

From everybody I have talked to it looks like we are getting the lowest base fee in TN out of all the states

Anybody up for some Janis- 4,000 sq ft 150$????

And craigslist. Have had many companies tell us they look at craigslist for base pricing.

This week had a company tell us they see ads for carpet cleaning on craigslist for $15/room and how can we jusyify $.28 sf.

They don't comprehend upselling or "get in the door" pricing, $58k truckmount costs, no water on site or freeze risk in winter or stain removal costs etc etc

Yeah, TN prices are u a couple bucks higher for a few things, BA, IL ect. But our flat fee is slightly higher. Not much.

Ya think they are being paid HUD prices?? Just wondering if they are making $50CY and giving us a whopping $18.

OK, hoping all of my properties are cash for keys and under 2Cy. Chances are they will have alot of contractors bail. Maybe we'll pick up a bunch more recurring

Thats what Im expecting/ hoping for. We cover a pretty large area going out 100 miles east or west from where we are located and Im hoping this will knock out a bunch a these crews that have been swarming my local area and we can shrink our coverage map again.

ohio is 17 cu yd,way under what i was getting,its a joke

Could someone post the prices for New York State

This'll make you mad.


From what I understand HUD pays them $2500 to get a house in marketable condition baring serious rehab/repairs etc.
So if they can con some poor schlub into doing trash out and maid for $500 they just pocketed the rest.

$17/$18 for debris?????????????????????
There is no way I'm working for that. I quit FAS like a bad habit in 09.
That continues to look like a wise decision more all the time.
What a bunch of sorry SOBs they are.

For every one person who happily continues with FAS I hear or read of ten more who are or were getting beat to death over their prices and their chargebacks.

How can we be on the same team now

I still can't see any way to make money now! How are they going to have any vendors
At all? Yes I know about CFK'S.
