Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace Purchasing

There are parameters set for washers, dryers, fridges, and dishwashers in Craigslist. Please review the daily/weekly emails received with items that match the parameters set. The goal is to carry a decent inventory so we are not scrambling at the last minute to replace an appliance.

1) Check what is available online currently, either through notifications or just weekly browsing

2) If item(s) meet the proper criteria, contact seller(s). This may require email, text, and phone call correspondence.

3) Set up a meeting with the seller.

• We will meet the seller during normal business hours

• Confirm with maintenance supervisor that someone is available to meet the seller. Ideally, a maintenance tech goes out to do this (instead of field tech) as maintenance team has better idea of appliance condition

• The maintenance supervisor would have to approve meeting a seller at a time outside of normal business hours

• Create task in SF using the Appliance Purchase template

4) Arrange cash for purchase.

5) RepairPro tech meets with the seller.

• If purchased, record the transaction in Service Fusion as an expense, if putting in to inventory, no need to click billable.

• If purchased, have the RP take photos of the appliance

  • Overall photos of appliance, as well as make/model stickers

• Add appliance to SF inventory
