Discover your inner service provider

Most of the time, your washing machine isn’t doing anything for you. That great view you have, probably doesn’t get appreciated as much as it could. And certainly, you have skills that your neighbors could use.

This page will help you get the most of the assets you already have. It will help you turn your skills, your stuff and your home into a revenue-generating business. Once you get started, spread the word and watch your home and your neighborhood transform as you, your neighbors and visitors start to participate in a new residential marketplace.

Remember, all services were once invented. What’s yours?

Understand your assets

Answer these questions to get started.

What makes your house stand out? Does it get a lot of sunlight? Do you have the best sound system, the friendliest cat, a unique art collection or a roof-top terrace?

What’s collecting dust in your house? Think of the things that you use only once in a while. a powertool, a train set, a lawnmower…

What are your special talents? Your hobbies? for example, you might be a good listener, and some people just want to be heard.

What are you known for in your neighborhood? What favors do people ask of you? Quite possibly, you might already be performing a service without knowing it.
