Dear Agent,
You will be responsible for answering the calls that come in during our after hours so please be
very professional, respectful, and use a clear voice. Once you know what the call is about, you
will need to choose and complete one of the forms accordingly. After you choose the correct
form you will need to ask and fill in the questions listed on that form with the answers provided
by the caller. Once the form is completed, submit it and let the caller know someone will get
back to them during business hours. Scroll down and you will find the three contact forms in
which you will only complete one depending on what the customer is calling for. Included on
top of all the contact forms there is a description box with examples detailing which form to
choose. Scroll to bottom.

If the customer wants to schedule an appointment for our surveyor to visit their home to price them please complete this form. If the customer wants to schedule a Virtual Survey which is done through a video call you will also need to fill this form.
Scenarios:- I want someone to come out to give me a price.

***As a complementary service Visual In Home Surveys are free charge within the following counties: Miami-Dade, Broward, and West Palm Beach county.
***Since Virtual Surveys are done virtually on a video call and there is no set location to meet; the customer can be located anywhere and we’ll still perform the survey.
