Compliance Depot

I wish I owned Comliance depot! What a brilliant business model.

I have had PMs offer to pay the $95 for me. Just ask them to. If they complain about paying it, you probably dont want to work for them. Theyll be slow paying anyways.

I have no problems paying it. Liablility insurance is for the PM's protection too, should they pay your premium?
 
I just don't like their attitude or their fake 'service'. Look EVERYONE is going to charge that fee back to the property manager - so the PM is going to pay it, and cost savings may be zero or negative. Verifying those things is part of the PM's job description anyway. Go pay this third party or you can't work for us just isn't good business.

What a bunch of lowball'n, I want everything handed to me for free, bunch of baby's. Kreisle aren't you one of the ones who was pushing the UAMCC so hard and collecting the almost $500 fee. What did the members get for that? From what I hear and read my $95 was well spent!

Not sure what your issue is, but the "low-ballin" and ""baby's" remarks are not called for. I am only pointing out why I don't agree with the charge. They are not working for me, so I don't pay them.

And seeing as how you want to name call, just going to point out that my information is completely out in the open. No hiding behind a screen here. I attend the industry functions spending plenty of money all along the way. See you at one sometime. And yeah I just said that.
 
I had a apartment manager call me out to a property today. After talking to her she stated I was the only company in the area that was qualified and review via Compliance depot. She also stated as long as I was under a certain dollar amount the job would be mine. She also showed me another bid from a company that said they had all the necessary documents to be in compliance yet they could not produce them when it came time. I seen there bid and it was almost exactly what I would bid. Long story short She told me her budget and I would be lower than that so I guess I owe yet another thank you to compliance depot for weeding some of the competition out.

I agree its dumb and wrong, but sometimes you have to play the dumb a*s game or not, it's up to the contractor. I am doing it for that $8K job I did and pushing for many other complexes, that could turn out to be 10's or hundreds of thousands dollars more worth of work

If you look who is signing up for Comp Depot, its not the owner of one or two Apartment complexes its huge companies, go look at Greystar in just part of California, http://www.greystar.com/Greystarpro...lng=&Beds=-1&Baths=-1&distance=500&Community= if some contractor could service just some of these its worth the $95 and extra insurance

Its not for everyone and like I said I would like to say NO I am not going to pay for Comp Depot

My marketing can take weeks, months or years to pay off, but it usually pays off sooner or later, if not I change and drop things

Its there rules and if you want to work for some of them, you have to follow their insurance rules. Some of these management companies are more than management companies, look up RIET's they manage, invest, buy and trade on the stock market. They are a lot more than just a management company. its huge business apartment complex investment

I use to never go after apartment complexes, they often want cheap and don't clean regularly, but not all of them, theres contractors out there that work for these guys and make big bucks. But might not be worth it for a one time deal

Well said Jeff! It's funny how some can see it while others can not. We are interesting creatures.
 
Look I see it, they are half a scam with no real value and I hope they go out of business. I would sign up if I had to for a certain amount of money to be made.

Tom I know you understand but look at it this way. Say you had a multi million dollar pressure washing business that covered 20 states. You sub a ton of the work out, then comes a company that can handle all the subs paper work. For your staff to do it, you have to have a staff of 3, paying salary, workers comp, holiday & sick pay and on and on, Say it cost your company $225,000 a year in salary etc. Then a company comes along that specializes in handling subs paperwork and they will charge you nothing and and the sub pays $95.00. You just saved $225,000, No matter what as a businessman you just saved some big bucks

You know for these huge investment companies its just easier and cheaper and smart biz for them and I bet it would cost that big biz more than $95 per sub to keep track of them

And beside all of that, its just the game we have to play or not play

Its just like a pressure washing company hiring a Temp Agency, it saves you comp, saves you paper work and the actual worker only gets $8an hour the temp get an extra $4, but with comp and everything else it would cost you more. You do whats best for your biz
 
It seems to me if I were doing or planning to go after Apartments, Condo's, etc. I would get in now w Comp Depot and get all the paperwork in order. It's probably safe to say that this is the wave of the future for all types of contracting for commerical properties.
 
I think you need to be with a certain property first Doug, since I had to give the name of the PM when I called to register. Then they send you what I assume are the specific requirements of that vendor. Once you get in with the first one its probably a lot easier down the line just gotta add additional insured and fax it in each time

Hey William I'm gonna call you tomorrow, I'm already confused by this commercial stuff haha
 
Hey, how about an "accounts payable" business where I can pay all their bills for them because if they can't put a tickler in their file to ask for POI every year they are surely too busy to pay your invoices every MONTH!

Maybe next time you bill them you'll have to pay me $50.00 to accept and process your payment. (What? You don't like that? You must be a lowball hack! - Only a hack would not realize the benefits of paying $50.00 to get paid on a $5000 invoice!)

I'm on a roll here. I'm quitting the cleaning business and becoming a worthless middleman!

What an easy sale. Now I need a motto.

How about this one -

"We do your work for your lazy a** and charge someone else for it!!!"

What a concept.

I'm going to be a millionaire!
 
This is what this country has come to.

I know someone who can't buy a gun (brady check) because they got in a fight with their brother at 15 years old that got reported to the police. That is now a "domestic violence" charge (no conviction, just a charge).

No trouble since then, runs a reputable, profitable PW business with full insurance and workers comp. Never been arrested since age 15.

This is the guy who gets screwed by unAmerican companies like this.

I hope they report a conviction in a state that has limits on the amount of time a conviction can be reported to non-police entities and get their butts sued off.

Tony I would gladly pay that in exchange for being paid net 15.

You're a big player. How about you come up with a legitimate name, company name and phone number or get lost.

The clock is ticking.

Sorry Tony no millionaire off that idea, to late there are companies that do that already and the contractor has to pay a 3rd party to process, per invoice to get paid through this 3rd party, its a small amount, but its $$$$. UNREAL isnt it. If big biz can find a way to ..... ..., they will. Maybe you can regulate them so the contractor doesnt get screwed. You want Obamas number, maybe he will help.:happydance:

But really there are 3rd party AP already
 
Jeff, I know you "gotta do what you gotta do" when it comes to stuff like this. I just wish you guys would at least make them pay a BIG premium for it.

We work for a few cities, counties, the state and the federal government and as incompetent as they are they somehow are able to check our background and insurance to their satisfaction and pay our invoices on time.

IF the vendor was only charged upon winning the bid it would be a little more palatable.

The fact is, checking the backgrounds of vendors is the hiring company's job and responsibility. It's a carry over from their slimy practice of making prospective tenants pay for credit checks.

Where is the accountability with a company like this. How long do you think it will be before it makes the news that someone has been paying them big bucks to disqualify competition?

It's a magnet for corruption potential.

Tony I agree, I much rather do like I do for 99% of the companies, I send it to them.
The 2 companies I know that use Comp Depot are huge, multi state companies. I figure its just easier for them, but yes they save money on our backs. You know I am no fan of big biz and how they treat people but like you say you gotta do what..............

Hey I saw this and was happy to read it. Looks like enough people complained and they are finally bringing back jobs from overseas. YAY>>>>>>>>>>>>



NBC Nightly News recently ran a story about outsourced call centers that are being brought home. These outsourced job services are failing mainly because of customer frustrations where they are sick of being forced to deal with foreign workers over personal matters. First, there is the horrible impersonality of it all. Next, there is the obvious language barrier. Brian William reported that the problem has gotten so bad that people have taken to posting these horrible customer service calls on You Tube. Here is one such telemarketing call.

This is not the end of this piece of good news. These formerly outsourced jobs are literally being brought home and being taken by stay-at-home workers. Yes. There is now a bigger job market for people who want to work from home.

Tony, the name of that company is OPSTechnology. I pay them $10 to be able to send an invoice to get paid. OPSTec and Compliance Depot is one of the best things to come around to weed out the competition with regards to apartments. Not many people want to jump thru the hoops.
