The honest comparison
Why agents stop running the five-sub chain.
The usual flow has the listing agent quarterbacking roof, gutters, paint, trim, and windows across five different shops. Here is what changes when one shop owns the whole exterior.
- Phone calls during the listing windowChainOne per trade — five to seven across roof, gutters, paint, trim, windows.RAOne. The PM owns the whole exterior, start to finish.
- Schedule changesChainEach sub re-books on their own. Cascading delays to your list date.RAPM holds the schedule. If a date moves, you hear it from us first.
- Insurance workChainMost subs won’t touch a claim. Agent ends up running the carrier call.RAIn-house. We file, meet the adjuster, and execute the approved scope.
- Listing-file documentationChainYou stitch it together from invoices, texts, and a phone full of photos.RAA single PDF — before/after, scope, materials, permits, warranty.
- Warranty after the saleChainFive separate warranty letters, if you can find them.RAOne workmanship warranty — transferable to the buyer at closing.
