Professional Email Address
Every contractor gets a free @listaservice.com email address (e.g., john@listaservice.com). Emails sent to your professional address arrive in your dashboard inbox. Reply directly from the dashboard and your responses come from your @listaservice.com address.
Built-in Messenger
Message any contractor directly from their profile page. No email exchange needed, no phone tag. Conversations are threaded and persistent. Contractors see incoming messages in their dashboard and can respond instantly.
