For licensed Florida contractors
How Highlands Home Services Network delivers exclusive leads.
A 6-step process — from homeowner request to your phone. Every lead screened, every territory locked, every delivery exclusive.
Highlands Home Services Network is a hyperlocal lead generation service that connects licensed, DBPR-verified contractors with exclusive homeowner service requests in Highlands County, Florida — covering Sebring, Avon Park, Lake Placid, Lorida, and Venus. Every lead passes a 6-step verification and delivery process. No lead is shared between contractors. Billing occurs after delivery, never in advance. Contractors pay per verified lead with no monthly retainer and no long-term contract.
The process
The 6-Step Path from Homeowner Request to Your Phone
Every lead we deliver passes through every one of these steps — which is exactly why our leads are different from what you find on the big platforms.
-
Apply & Get Verified — Join a Network Homeowners Trust
Submit your application with your Florida trade license number and service areas. We verify every applicant against the Florida DBPR database before approving your account. This protects the homeowners who rely on our referrals and protects your standing among peers who cleared the same bar.
-
Hyper-Local Targeting Catches the Homeowner at the Right Moment
We operate a dedicated hyperlocal platform built sepcifically for Highlands County, Florida - optimized to attract residents in Sebring, Avon Park, Lake Placid, Lorida and Venus who are actively searching for your trade. These are not cold audiences - they arrived at our platform with a specific, current need.
-
Every Lead Passes a Rigorous Screen — If It Fails, You Never See It
Every inquiry is screened for a confirmed Highlands County address, validated contact details, and genuine service intent. If a submission does not meet our standards, it is permanently discarded — never sold to you or anyone else.
-
Your Territory Gets Locked — No Other Contractor Touches It
Once a lead passes screening, it is matched exclusively to you based on your service area. That homeowner's name, address, phone, and email are yours alone — no other contractor in the network will ever see it.
-
Real-Time Delivery — Be the First Voice They Hear
Leads are delivered instantly via SMS, email, or phone based on your preference. For emergency service requests, we trigger an immediate phone bridge so you are the first voice the homeowner hears.
-
Invoice the Homeowner Directly — We Invoice You for the Lead
You invoice the homeowner directly and keep 100% of your margin. We invoice you only for verified leads delivered at your agreed per-lead rate — after delivery, never in advance.
Fairness policy
When does a lead qualify for a credit review?
A credit review is available for three specific scenarios — and only these three:
- Invalid contact information — disconnected phone number or bounced email, submitted with documentation within 48 hours of delivery.
- Out-of-area address — service address confirmed outside Highlands County, submitted within 48 hours of delivery.
- Duplicate delivery — the same homeowner lead delivered to the same contractor twice.
Leads where the homeowner did not hire, did not respond, or disagreed on pricing are not eligible for credit. We screen for intent and location — not job outcomes.
Common questions
What contractors ask before they apply.
How does HHSN deliver exclusive contractor leads?
Highlands Home Services Network uses a 6-step process: DBPR license verification, hyperlocal digital targeting in Highlands County, rigorous lead screening for location and intent, exclusive territory locking, real-time delivery via SMS or phone, and pay-per-lead billing after delivery. Each verified lead is routed to one contractor only.
Are leads shared between multiple contractors?
No. Every verified lead is routed exclusively to one licensed contractor in the network. No other contractor receives that homeowner's contact information — not at delivery, and not at any point afterward.
When does billing occur?
Billing occurs after a verified lead is delivered — never in advance. A lead is billable when verified contact information and a confirmed service request are transmitted to you, regardless of whether the job is quoted, scheduled, or completed.
Which cities in Highlands County does HHSN serve?
Highlands Home Services Network serves the entire county — Sebring, Avon Park, Lake Placid, Lorida, and Venus. It does not operate outside Highlands County, Florida.
