Our Story
We’ve spent the last 20 years sleeping, eating and drinking the property management industry from both a customer and supplier perspective, and have seen first-hand the many frustrations on both sides. E-fficiency was born out of the need to streamline the process of home improvement project delivery and to provide peace of mind to both customers and contractors. Our innovative online service is built on our network of Professional Service Partners (PSP) who are vetted and trained and of course our industry-first escrow service that ensues that our customers’ money is always kept safe until they are 100% satisfied with the job.
Escrow Service
What is an escrow service you might ask? Escrow is a contractual arrangement in which a third party receives and disburses funds, the disbursement is dependent on conditions agreed to by the transacting parties. We have partnered with registered financial service provider Truzo, a specialist escrow service.
