Job description

Are you a self-starter with a passion for providing top-tier customer service and support?  Are you willing to be a part of a quickly growing, product-oriented company while working remotely from home? Then welcome to HomeBuddy!

This full-time role offers home working flexibility; however, you must be able to work evenings and weekends in PST or MST.

HomeBuddy is an online home improvement platform connecting homeowners with local, verified contractors in the U.S.

Already a well-established, successful firm, HomeBuddy is growing at a fast pace and is determined to achieve even more explosive growth. To support this ambitious vision, we are actively developing our team of smart, self-starting and entrepreneurial individuals in many professional categories.

  • Responding to emails, text messages, inbound calls and voicemail messages in a timely manner.
  • Adding notes to client profiles.
  • Engaging in active listening with customers, confirming or clarifying information; all while being able to maintain patience and professionalism throughout the call and accurately capture answers over the phone.
