The Three Risks of the 'Gig Economy'

💸

Hidden Title Clouds

Unpaid sub-contractors can file claims against your property title. You wont know until you try to sell or refinance your Hines home, effectively freezing your asset.

📉

Resale Deal Killers

Savvy buyers in Hines ask for permit history. Unpermitted additions or decks are flagged by inspectors, often forcing you to lower your asking price by thousands.

🚑

Liability Roulette

If an uninsured worker falls off your ladder, **your** homeowner's policy is on the hook. Verified Pros carry Workers' Comp to protect you from medical lawsuits.
