The short answer

How do home service pros get on realtors' preferred vendor lists?
Home service pros get on realtors' preferred vendor lists by being easy to trust and easy to reach when a deal is on the line. Agents want vendors who answer the phone, can quote and finish inspection repairs on time, are licensed and insured, and give clients a clear invoice. A website with a dedicated page for agents makes you easy to vet and easy to recommend.
An agent's reputation rides on every vendor they recommend. When an inspection turns up a leaking valve or a failing breaker, they need someone who can look at it this week, write a clear quote, and do the work before the deadline. They also want to know you will treat their client well. Your website should answer those concerns before the agent picks up the phone.
Introduce yourself to agents and brokerages in your area, and offer to help on a deal. Show up on time, communicate with the agent and the client, and send clean paperwork. Ask satisfied agents for a short review you can share. Do not offer anything of value in exchange for referrals without checking the rules; RESPA and state rules can apply to settlement service referrals, so ask an attorney if you are unsure.
Home-service pros use the website plan without IDX: $99/month or $990/year. You can add a page by typing "Add a page for real estate agents with our repair turnaround" and review it in a draft. Lead forms file requests in the RealSavvy AI CRM with consent recorded, so agent requests do not get lost in an inbox.
