Hi,
I thought of sharing this site
http://www.getvendors.com with you as I find it very
useful and convenient for my occasional service
requirements in local area. I just broadcast my
requirements to multiple vendors in one shot and
service- providers get back to me with competitive
offerings. After short listing, I pick the best.
Generally, I get good deals because getvendors.com has
some discounting agreement with service providers.

This site serves multiple categories including
Household (plumbing, Electrician etc.), Automobile
(used / new cars, mechanics etc), Financing (CPA,
mortgage broker etc.), Wedding/party (photography,
caterer, wedding planners etc.), Legal, Real Estate
and so on. Try it out.

Do let other people know about
http://www.getvendors.com and benefit from it.

Thanks,
Subharaj
