Which home service leads you can buy
Summit sells homeowner requests in these home services trades. Each trade’s buyer page explains its requests, fields and filters:
| Group | Trades |
|---|---|
| Home improvement | Roofing leads, window replacement leads, bathroom remodeling leads, siding and gutter leads (or siding leads and gutter leads on their own), flooring leads and kitchen remodeling leads |
| Home systems and energy | HVAC leads and solar leads |
| Trades and services | Plumbing leads, home security leads, pest control leads and fencing leads |
A buyer can take one trade or several, in the states they choose. Filters and caps are set per trade, so each campaign receives only the requests it can work.

How ping/post delivery works
Home service leads are sold in Summit’s real-time ping/post auction, so each request reaches a buyer seconds after the homeowner submits it:
Ping
When a homeowner submits a request, Summit sends a ping without contact details to every buyer whose filters and remaining daily caps match it.
Bid or pass
Your system replies to each ping with a bid or a pass within the response window agreed at setup. A reply after the window counts as a pass.
Post
The winning bid receives the full lead by post, with the contact details, trade fields and consent certificateConsent certificateA record, often produced by a third-party consent certificate provider, that shows how and when a consumer gave consent on a web form. Glossary.
Accept or reject
Your endpointEndpointThe web address in a buyer's system that receives pings and posts. Glossary accepts or rejects the post and returns a response, so both sides have the same record of what was sold.
Leads are exclusive by default: each lead is sold to one buyer. Shared delivery is available on request. See how the ping/post integration works and exclusive vs shared leads.
What you get in writing
Before the first lead is delivered, these points are set out by email and confirmed in writing:
- Exclusivity. Home service leads are exclusive by default: each lead is sold to one buyer. Shared delivery is available on request.
- The consent record. Every lead carries a TrustedForm consent certificate, so your team can see how and when the homeowner gave consent.
- A small test order first. New buyers start with a small test volume so their team can check contact rates and quality before caps are raised.
