Feedback

Feedback is an evaluation of a Homeowner's experience with the Tradesperson they hire through Travay La Fer. Homeowners can read previous feedback comments on each Tradesperson's profile before they decide who to hire.

Your feedback score shows the average of the total number of reviews that have been marked by your previous customers.

If the Homeowner has already marked you as Hired, hit the "Ask for feedback" button once the job is completed. This will send the customer a notification to leave feedback for you.

If you have received a negative feedback from a Homeowner which you feel is unfair, do not try to respond hastily blaming them. This won’t look good to potential future customers who can see your reply. Instead, you are encouraged to contact the Homeowner and try to reach a resolution where you are both satisfied with the outcome. Handling a negative feedback in a proactive manner will help you grow professionally and make your journey with Travay La Fer a successful one.
