I'd try finding someone in Ellensburg or if it is on the river maybe I'd promote it as a hunting "lodge". ;-)  Anyway, the Credit Union lent against it so it can't be too old.

And you telling me "hey DMM works" tells me and the world NOTHING.Show data and we can have an awesome conversation on lead generation and figure out ways to improve it.I am NOT selling my SEO services nor am I promoting them.

Lets say he buys a promoted package on "Houzz" or "angies list" - that's doesn't make him great .It could be a contractors business strategy to not talk to some one with out the house under contract - its completely up to you as the business owner .
