EPMS

I am looking at doing some mystery shops for EPMS in the Charlotte NC area. They are all apartment type shops it seems. I believe I saw some daycare shops on there as well a few months ago. Has anyone worked with this company before? Were they legit?... Continue Reading

Apartments for $20

When I do apartments, I won't do anything less than $35. I logged into one company and they had student housing apartment shops for $20. I saw about 15 on their board.... Continue Reading

EPMS (asking for a SPECIFIC PERSON question.

Hi, Hoping somebody can help answer. I have been assigned an apartment complex shop for a specific agent. I have done a few shops, but not when asking for a target person. What if a person answers (1st/2nd call, etc.), and they don't introduce themselves by name? ... Continue Reading

CANCELLED

Hi, everybody. I have a scheduler who got frustrated with me for verifying questions. Then I had problems with submitting the eval. I was traveling, wasn't sure if it was the internet or what was happening.. The last time I emailed her, she said, "We don't have any problems with... Continue Reading

Team Top gun poor response

What the heck is up with the team top gun schedulers at intellishop. They take forever to respond. I have to send multiple emails to get a response. Is anyone else doing the apartment shops in Mass for limited income/age restrictions? There are no vacant/model apartments to show and the... Continue Reading

Ipsos can just suck it

As a nice ending to my massive 6-day mostly apartments route, I grabbed a conditional reveal gas station for $20 fee + $80 bonus. Location has always been weird with their hours, but this was the 6AM - 3PM slot on a Saturday. Still weird... store is temporarily closed, but... Continue Reading

Getting back in the EPMS groove

Now that my cashflow needs have loosened a bit, and I've invested in a button cam rig, I'm actively pursuing well-paying apartment jobs again after avoiding them for the past few years. Just completed 2 audio recorded visits for EPMS. Yes, their online experience remains pretty horrible. I especially love how... Continue Reading

Oh joy... SASSIE busywork in everyone's future

Now that I have invested in a PV-500 button cam, I'm pivoting when it comes to my route planning MO. Now, I will first look for high paying apartment gigs in the boonies and then try making a route work by filling in with whatever gas station, truck stop,... Continue Reading

Anyone doing shops for Cirrus?

About 10 years ago I did 2 apartment shops for them but never got paid. I've heard other shoppers will not touch them with a 10-foot pole. What has been your experience? Have they changed at all over the last 10 years?... Continue Reading

Apartment Video Shops-What Happens on the Other Side?

I’ve been wondering- What happens on the other side of things after an apartment shop. Do the employers watch the video with the leasing consultants? Do they tell them your full name and everything? If anyone knows, I’d love to learn about this!... Continue Reading
