Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the North Phoenix Buyers Club?

The North Phoenix Buyers Club is simply a large group of neighbors who work together to negotiate with quality vendors and contractors for home repair and maintenance services.

Why have we never done this before?

Good question!

Large corporations, insurance companies, health care conglomerates, and franchisers do it all the time. There truly is power in numbers. Homeowners have just been conditioned to go it alone because that’s the way it’s always been done. We’re out to change that!

How does a Group Buy work?
  1. Group Members are surveyed to find out which Group Buys have the most interest. Group Buys with the most interest are tackled first.
  2. Group discussion creates a list of goals and priorities for each project.
  3. Group Members sign-up as “Interested” (no obligation).
  4. Online research of project needs and requirements is conducted.
  5. Contractor/Vendor suggestions are collected and analyzed.
  6. Online surveys are created and distributed to screened contractor/vendors.
  7. Further online analysis of all review sites, licensing boards, and consumer bureaus/websites is coordinated.
  8. Telephone and In-person interviews are conducted with leading contractors/vendors.
  9. A short-list of contractors/vendors is chosen –  the report is written – the Group votes for our preferred vendor.
  10. A Preferred Vendor is chosen and the Official Sign-Up for the Group Buy is posted.
  11. Each Group Buy participant writes one honest review (positive or negative) about the Group Buy and the Preferred Vendor.

HOW IS THE GROUP WEBSITE FUNDED?

Creating anything of value costs money. Preferred Vendors are asked to contribute 5% from each paid job to help build and maintain the website. 

What is Global Paradox Inc. and why do I see it on this site?
When the idea for the North Phoenix Buyers Club first hatched there was no funding available to build and code a website, subscribe to SAAS services, pay for hosting or domain etc. etc. etc.

Global Paradox Inc. funded (and continues to fund) the development of the North Phoenix Buyers Club until such time as it becomes self-sustaining.

Global Paradox Inc. is owned and operated by Tim C. Martin who first organized the North Phoenix Buyers Club.
