Complaint Review: Northsight Management - Select State/Province

If you work for them they will make you fight hard to get your money if you get it.

SOUNDS A LITTLE FISHY , THAT THIS IS THE SAME GUY ADVERTISING ON THEIR SITE.  IS THIS A FRIENDLY NOBODY OR A WORKER/EMPLOYEE OF THE NORTHSIGHT TEAM TRYING TO REBUTTAL ALL BAD RHETORIC.  I THINK YOU CAN GUESS FOR YOURSELF AND SEE IF HE THINKS HE IS SMART BY REMOVING THE INFORMAITON ON THEIR SITE AS A REPUTTAL VENDOR MADE GOOD LOL.  FIRST THEY CHARGE YOU TO COME ON BOARD.  THEN THEY CHARGE YOU FOR ACCESS TO THE SITES AND THEN THEY CHARGE FOR THE UPLINK TO GET THE PHOTOS ON LINE. SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE IN BED WITH JUST ABOUT EVERY VENDOR TO GET KICK-BACKS AND THEY ARENT WORTH THE STUFF THAT COMES OUT OF COWS... BEWARE AND BETTER YET FILE COMPLAINTS WITH YOUR STATE AG, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICE/PEOPLE AS WELLAS BETTER BUSINESS BEREAU SO WE CAN FINALLLY PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS.  I AM REACHING OUT TO MY PEOPLE IN LOCAL OFFICES/OFFICIALS AND ALSO IN THE BANKING INDUSTRY TO DENY THEM ANY MORE QUESTIONABLE BUSINESS.  IF WE ARE LUCKY YOU WILL SEE THEM GO VIRAL AS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS I AM FORWARDING INFORMATION TO ARE ABOUT TO RELEASE THE HOUNDS.  THEY ARE A JOKE AND IF THE HEAT DOWN IN ARIZONA DONT PUT THEM OUT OF THEIR MISERY , WE WILL.  300 K AND SO HAPPENS TO WORK FOR THE COMPANY BUT NOT AS A VENDOR A SCAMMER.  WHAT ARE THE ODDS THE SAME GUY REPORTS ON SIGHT I MADE OVER 300K IS ALSO COMBATING BAD BUSINESS COMPLIANTS HE HAS ALL THAT TIME AND LOVES THEM SO MUCH.  ODDS SAY SOMETHING IS TOO FISHY AND IT STINKS. 

I've done work for Northsight for over a year in Arizona as a sub-contractor. I do not work on the Safeguard side. I work on the Maintenance side. They are one of the best regionals/nationals out there. I did over $300k in billing for them in 2013 alone (I also do work for a few other companies). I run 4 crews. I lead one of the crews myself everyday. We do work anywhere from grass cuts all the way up to renovations. I've never had an issue with payment, as long as my work is done correctly.

I've talked to a lot of PP vendors over the past several years, and there is clearly a difference in who is built to make money doing this work and who wants a way to make money for nothing. I know a bunch of guys who do as well as I do doing the maintenance work. I also know some guys who do pretty well doing strictly landscaping and grass cuts.

I'm not saying that there are not bad companies to do work for out there because there are, however, the vast majority of people I speak with that have complaints about doing this work and/or payment, have nobody to blame but themselves. They do not read their work orders carefully, they do not read the approval requirements carefully, they don't pay attention to deadlines, they don't bother to read the guidelines put out by the different mortgage holders such as HUD, Fannie, Freddie, Wells Fargo, etc..., they don't follow the guidelines for bidding work, they do work that isn't included on the work order and expect to get paid for it, they don't take the time to schedule out their work load for the day/week, and they don't communicate effectively with their manager.

I can tell you that our manager at Northsight, Michael, is good at what he does. He is a straight shooter, follows through on things, and not once have I had a problem getting paid for things that I have done right. There have been times when I've made mistakes and have had to eat costs, but even then, Michael try's to help with it. I get paid for all the work I do monday - sunday the following Friday with direct deposit. They pay me on time every week, and the few times there have been some mistakes, they have gone out of their way to pay me the next day.  I do not have to wait for them to get payment, and I have never been given a partial payment or a charge back.  If I do my work right...I get paid. 

Again, I do not know much about their grass cut side except that they do strictly Safeguard stuff. I can tell you working for their maintenance side has been great.

As I said, overall, if you are not making money doing this you are not set up for it, or are not willing to take this work for what it is, and make it work for you. I know a lot of good companies that make great money doing this work. You don't see them getting the attention that the negative posts on these forums get.

I would definitely recommend Northsight if you're considering this type of work.
