Welcome to
Lake & Estates
MORE LEADS AREN'T ALWAYS BETTER. THE RIGHT PROJECTS ARE.
Your Time is Valuable
Quoting projects that are outside your service area, below your preferred project size, outside your specialty, or simply not the type of work your company is looking for costs time — whether you win the job or not.Lake & Estates was created to offer a more thoughtful approach.We connect vetted home, property, and cottage service professionals with homeowner projects based on the work they actually want.You tell us what you're looking for. We make the match.
Not A Traditional Lead Service
Lake & Estates isn't designed to send the same inquiry to a long list of businesses.And we're not building another endless online directory.We start with the homeowner's project and consider which vetted professionals are genuinely suited to it.Our goal is simple:Fewer mismatched inquiries. Better-fit opportunities. More valuable connections.
How It Works
APPLY TO JOIN
Lake & Estates is a vetted professional network rather than an open business directory. Tell us about your company, services, experience and the areas you serve.
COMPLETE OUR VETTING PROCESS
Our goal is for the Lake & Estates name to represent professionalism and trust. Depending on the service provided, our vetting process may consider items such as business history, appropriate licensing, insurance, reputation, references, reviews and professional experience.
BUILD YOUR PROJECT PROFILE
This is where you tell us what you actually want. Not simply: “We do landscaping.” Instead: “We're looking for landscape construction projects starting at $50,000 in Muskoka and surrounding areas, with a preference for waterfront properties.”The more we understand your business, the better the potential match.
RECEIVE MATCHED OPPORTUNITIES
When a homeowner submits a project that aligns with your services and Project Profile, your company may be selected as an appropriate match. Instead of chasing every possible inquiry, you can focus on opportunities that make sense for your business.
CONNECTION WITH HOMEOWNER
When an introduction is made, we connect with you and the homeowner to discuss the project, arrange consultations or estimates, and determine whether you're the right fit for one another.
Lake & Estates Professional Memberships
