Once the Primary Account Holder is registered, a Secondary Account Holder can be added. The Primary Account Holder must set a geographical limit from which the Secondary Account Holder may view Household Services of Biddeees out for Bid. Any Household Services outside of the geographical limit set by the Primary Account Holder will not be able to be seen by the Secondary Account Holder. The Secondary Account Holder is given a user name and password. The Secondary Account Holder can logon with this user name and password. Once logged on, the Secondary Account Holder can view all the properties and Household Services out for bid within the geographical limit set by the Primary Account Holder. Should any Account Holder (Primary or Secondary) desire to Bid on a Household Service posted by a Biddeee, the Account Holder will indicate 1) A price for the Household Service; and 2) A time and date the service can be completed by. This is then submitted back to the Biddeee (Homeowner/Resident) for review.
