Check their profile badges and ask directly in chat.

How to verify a pro:

  • ID-Verified badge — confirms Stripe Identity verification (government ID matched)
  • Background Check badge — optional third-party criminal background check completed
  • Licenses & Insurance section — view uploaded credentials on their profile

Want more? Use in-app chat to request a Certificate of Insurance (COI), bond documentation, or specific license numbers. Serious pros will provide these without hesitation.

Always keep messaging and payments in-app for full Escrow Shield protection.
