Frequently Asked Questions

What geographic areas do you serve?

Kokobeo serves all of Ames and surrounding areas in IA. Our network includes professionals willing to travel throughout the region. When posting your project, you'll see which realtors serve your specific location and their travel policies.

How do I know if a quote is fair?

Request quotes from multiple professionals to compare pricing. Our platform shows average rates for realtors in Ames, helping you identify fair pricing. Reviews from past customers also provide insight into value and quality received for the price paid.

Can I hire the same realtor for multiple projects?

Definitely! Once you find a realtor you trust, you can hire them again directly through Kokobeo. Many customers build ongoing relationships with professionals for regular maintenance or multiple projects, with the same escrow protection every time.

What if the professional needs to buy materials?

For fixed-price projects, materials are typically included in the quote. For hourly projects, you can either purchase materials yourself or reimburse the professional. All material costs should be discussed and agreed upon before work begins, with receipts provided for transparency.

What if the project takes longer than expected?

For hourly projects, you'll only pay for actual time worked with our real-time tracking. For fixed-price projects, timeline extensions should be discussed and agreed upon. Major delays may warrant renegotiation, with your escrow payment remaining protected throughout.

What if weather delays my outdoor project?

Weather delays are common for outdoor work. Discuss contingency plans with your realtor upfront. For fixed-price projects, reasonable weather delays typically don't affect pricing. For hourly projects, you only pay for time actually worked. Your escrow remains protected during delays.

How does Kokobeo verify professional credentials?

We verify every realtor through a multi-step process: license verification with state agencies, insurance confirmation, background checks, reference checks, and identity verification. Only professionals passing all checks can join our platform and accept jobs.

What if emergency repairs are needed after hours?

Many professionals on Kokobeo offer 24/7 emergency services. Filter for "Emergency Services" when searching, and you'll see realtors available for after-hours, weekend, and holiday emergencies. Escrow protection applies even for urgent calls.
