Absolutely. Stable complies with all local laws. All freelancers on Stable are classified as independent contractors. We have a built a large network of both unlicensed assistants, licensed real estate agents, and licensed property managers to choose from. Depending on the type of work, select with the skills and licenses you need.

The hourly rate or flat "per-service" fee is an all-in cost. That hourly rate includes taxes, insurance and payroll - the total cost you would pay for an internal resource but broken down hourly.

After a shift or service has been completed, you’ll be responsible for paying the freelancer. Stable will invoice for the work completed, which will include the pricing terms of the shift and/or service agreed to with the Freelancer. Stable then pays the Freelancer following the shift. Payments can be made by credit card, e-transfer and/or wire transfer.

For Freelancers

All payments will be processed immediately following your shift and paid out bi-weekly via e-transfer and/or direct deposit, depending on your preference. Interac e-transfer is a convenient way to send, request and receive money directly from one bank account to another. All you need is access to online or mobile banking through a participating financial institution.

Clients on Stable only hire freelancers that have fully completed profiles. The best way to stand out and pick up amazing work is by taking a few minutes to complete your profile by adding photos, work history, social media accounts, and the skills you would like to show case. You can do this by selecting "edit profile" in the top right-hand menu.

Yes. Users rate each other at the end of every shift.

Yes, all freelancers must be willing to undergo a background check, in accordance with local law and regulations.

You'll only see shifts that align with your interests, skill set, experience level, and certifications. Stable provides a personalized onboarding session to walk you through our technology to ensure a seamless user experience.

Some projects may require special training before or during a shift (ex. apartment community walkthroughs, floor plan review, rent roll and pricing sheet review, system/technology training, etc..). This would be something that would be coordinated in advance between you and the client.

Clients are encouraged to make timely decisions and select freelancers quickly. That being said, in certain situations it may take a little longer from them to decide. If you have bid on a shift but are no longer interested, simply retract your application.

We will notify you when you've been scheduled for a shift of service by email.

Cancelled shifts severely damage the Stable brand and impact future opportunities for other freelancers on our platform. Late cancellations or no shows will negatively impact your user rating and impact your ability to pick up future work. Stable recommends that freelancers ONLY apply to shifts and services that they are truly ready, able and available to work.
