Referral & Lead Generation Disclosure
Last updated: May 2026
HoardAssist is committed to transparency about how this website operates and how we earn revenue. This disclosure explains the commercial nature of our referral model in plain language.
What HoardAssist Is
HoardAssist.com is a lead generation and referral website. Our purpose is to help individuals, families, and property owners find qualified hoarding cleanup specialists in their local area quickly and without unnecessary stress.
We do this by ranking in search engines for hoarding cleanup related searches, collecting service requests from visitors, and connecting those visitors with independent cleanup contractors who serve their area.
How We Make Money
HoardAssist earns revenue through commercial arrangements with the cleanup contractors in our network. These arrangements may take the form of:
- Monthly rental fees paid by a contractor in exchange for receiving leads generated by this website in their service area
- Per-lead fees paid by a contractor for each qualified service request we forward to them
- Hybrid arrangements combining a monthly fee with per-lead compensation
This means that when you submit a form or call a number on this website, your contact information and service request details may be forwarded to a contractor who has a paid commercial relationship with HoardAssist.
This does not cost you anything. There is no charge to visitors for using this website or submitting a request. The cost of our referral arrangement is borne entirely by the contractor, not the person seeking help.
How Contractors Are Selected
HoardAssist works with one contractor per geographic market area. Contractors in our network are selected based on their availability to serve the relevant area and their representation that they hold appropriate licensing and insurance for the services they provide.
HoardAssist makes reasonable efforts to work with reputable contractors. However, we do not independently audit, inspect, or continuously monitor contractor credentials, insurance coverage, or work quality. We strongly encourage all visitors to independently verify contractor credentials before allowing work to begin on their property.
Your Information
When you submit a service request through HoardAssist — by form, phone call, or any other means — the following may occur:
- Your name, phone number, email address, location, and description of your situation may be shared with the contractor serving your area
- Phone calls to numbers displayed on this website may be tracked and recorded for quality and business purposes
- Your information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy
We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or marketing lists. Your information is shared only for the purpose of fulfilling your service request with a local contractor.
Third-Party Contractor Relationship
Contractors who receive your referral are independent businesses. They are not employees or agents of HoardAssist. HoardAssist is not a party to any agreement between you and a referred contractor. Any contract for services, pricing agreement, or service guarantee is solely between you and the contractor directly.
HoardAssist is not responsible for the conduct, quality, pricing, or outcomes of any contractor’s work. See our full Disclaimer for complete details on limitation of liability.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements, testimonials, and material connections (16 CFR Part 255). Our commercial relationships with contractors constitute a material connection that may influence which contractors are featured or recommended on this website.
Any testimonials or reviews displayed on this website reflect the experiences of individual customers. Results are not guaranteed and individual experiences may vary.
