Tips on Getting BBB Accreditation

[Jonathan C.]

Not sure if anyone else has struggled like I have with getting BBB accreditation for their house flipping business. I've called couple of people multiple times about getting it and kept getting told they no longer accredit house flipping businesses.

Well out of the blue got a call from someone in what is basically their sales/marketing department selling me on becoming accredited. Needless to say I was like 'sign me up,' paid the $500 and got it done in like 10 minutes.

So if anyone else has struggled with it like I did, I'd suggest calling their sales/marketing department and not the actual accreditation department. Also feel free to PM and I'll send woman who contacted me phone number- can probably call her direct.

Why would you pay for BBB accreditation?  I've flipped hundreds of houses, and I don't believe I'm ever had a customer, vendor or contact inquire about BBB status.
