Guide

nearvise

Ask locals. Get quotes.

The nearvise app is where it all began: near + advise. Ask your neighbourhood a question or post a job, and local businesses answer with advice and quotes.

Step by step

Getting started

  1. 1

    Browse first, no account needed

    See what people nearby are asking and posting before you sign up.

  2. 2

    Join in one page

    Your email and phone (each with a code), your name and your area. That’s it.

  3. 3

    Ask or post

    Choose Question for advice, or Get quotes for a job. For a job, a few smart follow-up questions help businesses quote accurately.

  4. 4

    Add the details

    Title, category, budget, timeline and photos — then preview and post.

  5. 5

    Compare quotes

    Quotes arrive in the app with a notification. You stay anonymous while you compare.

  6. 6

    Accept and chat

    Accept the quote you like and a private chat opens with that business. Share your phone only if you want to.
