Lock Your Rate. Hold Your Territory. Join the National Network.
Founding Partners are the people who were here first. When ListWorx expands into a new market, Founding Partners in that trade and county already have their position. The rate they locked is the rate they keep — for as long as they're in the network.
$75 activation. Billing starts immediately at your locked rate. No trial. No games.
Every Founding Partner profile displays the IronClad Founding Partner badge — a permanent marker that you were here from the beginning.
First Position. Locked Rate.
National Network.
You do the work. We make sure the right people know your name — everywhere we go.
ListWorx is building the largest vetted independent contractor network in America. Founding Partners lock their rate the day they join and hold first position in their trade and county as we expand. That position doesn't get auctioned off. It doesn't get renegotiated. It's yours.
This Isn't a Lead Platform. It's a Network.
Lead platforms make money when you fail. They charge you per contact, sell that same contact to fifteen other contractors, and pocket the spread while you race to underbid everyone. That's the business model. That's why it feels bad — because it is.
ListWorx is built the other direction. Flat membership. Three referrals max per request. IronClad Standards required for everyone in the network. When a realtor or homeowner gets a name from us, they're getting someone who earned it.
No per-referral fees. Ever.
No lead auctions. You don't bid for your own name.
You compete against two other vetted pros — not fifteen strangers.
How It Works
From application to first referral — here's exactly how you get in and what happens next.
Apply
Submit your license, insurance, and trade. We verify credentials within 48 hours.
Get Approved
IronClad Standards verified. Your profile activates in the network.
Lock Your Rate
Founding Partners pay one activation fee and their monthly rate never moves — not next year, not ever.
Receive Referrals
When someone in your trade and county needs work, you get the call. Not fifteen other people. You.
Why the Network Model Wins
Lead platforms are built to extract money from contractors. A network is built to protect them.
High-Intent Referrals Only
Every request comes from a realtor managing an active transaction or a homeowner with a real project. No tire-kickers. No price shoppers browsing for quotes they'll never act on.
Maximum 3 Contractors Per Request
Your referral isn't sold to 15 other contractors. You compete against at most 2 others — both vetted professionals. Higher close rates. Better margins. No race to the bottom.
Predictable Business Costs
One flat monthly rate — no per-referral fees, no surprise charges, no bidding for priority. Know your marketing spend up front and build your business around it.
The IronClad Badge Builds Your Brand
Being an IronClad Partner signals professionalism to every realtor and homeowner you work with. It's third-party credibility built into every referral you receive.
Stop Paying for Dead-End Leads
Here's what changes when you stop chasing random contacts and join a national network built around your reputation.
Traditional Referral Platforms
- ✗Pay $15–$100+ per shared contact received
- ✗Same referral sold to 10–20 other contractors

- ✗Forced to underprice to outbid competitors
- ✗No network standards — anyone can buy a lead

What We Require
IronClad Standards are requirements, not suggestions. Here's what every Partner must have and maintain.
Required Credentials
- Valid state contractor license for your trade
- General liability insurance ($1M minimum)
- Workers' compensation insurance
- Minimum 2 years in business
- Clean business and complaint history
Ongoing Standards
- Respond to every referral within 24 hours
- Professional, timely communication on every job
- Written estimates provided for jobs over $500
- Show up on time and honor your commitments
- Stand behind your work — or risk network removal
Standards Are Enforced — Not Just Stated
We verify credentials before approval and monitor compliance throughout your membership. Poor performance or complaints can result in suspension or removal. IronClad Standards protect realtors, homeowners, and the contractors who maintain them.
Is This the Right Fit?
Built for contractors who take pride in their work — not everyone qualifies, and that's by design.
A Good Fit If You:
- Are licensed, insured, and have a track record
- Want predictable, manageable marketing costs
- Respond fast and communicate professionally
- Are tired of competing against 15 other contractors
- Want high-quality work from realtors with real projects
- Value your professional reputation and want to grow it
Not the Right Fit If You:
- ✗Are unlicensed or don't carry proper insurance
- ✗Want volume over quality — high-count, low-margin work
- ✗Can't commit to 24-hour response times on referrals
- ✗Are just starting out with no verifiable history
- ✗Won't meet professional communication or conduct standards
- ✗Prefer anonymous transactions with no accountability
Founding Partner Program
The people who join now are the people who own their position in the network — permanently. As ListWorx expands nationally, Founding Partners are already there. That's not available later.
Permanent Badge. Permanent Status.
Your Founding Partner badge stays on your profile for the life of your membership — visible to every realtor and homeowner who finds you in the network. It cannot be bought later.
First Position in Your Trade & County
Founding Partners hold first position in referral matching for their trade and county. As the network expands, that position is already yours.
Rate Locked From Day One
The rate you lock in today is the rate you pay — forever. Standard pricing goes up when the founding window closes. Yours doesn't.
Closes When It Fills — No Exceptions
Founding Partner spots are limited by trade and county. When yours fills, the program closes in your market. There is no waitlist and no reopening.
Choose Your Spot in the Network
Flat monthly pricing. No per-referral surprises. Pick the level that matches where your business is headed.
Your reputation matters. So does ours.
