"An ambitious, new Zagat-like guide… to rate home service providers."
The New York Times

"The home services industry has long needed an unbiased and open source for information. I predict The Franklin Report will become the ‘must have’ reference for both service buyers and providers. I used it the very first day I had it."
Scott Ageloff, Dean, New York School of Interior Design

"The debut of an on-line home services empire that Martha Stewart must be cursing herself for not having thought of first."
Crain’s New York Business

"I personally know a great many of the architects in the book extremely well, and I thought that The Franklin Report captured an accurate rendering, including all the pluses and minuses."
Stanley Tigerman, Tigerman McCurry Architects, Chicago

"The Franklin Report has fundamentally changed the way homeowners find an architect in New York. Everyone used to just ask a few friends for a couple of referrals. Now everyone is putting together a short list from the report. My last four interviews have been generated from the book."
Kevin Lichten, Lichten Craig Architects LLP

"Our three most recent clients have come to us solely based on our review in The Franklin Report. You have created quite a phenomenon."

"I used the book the first day I got it and found a new window washer who did twice the job of my old window washer at half the cost. Our real estate brokers gave away hundreds of copies to appreciative clients last year during the Holiday season."
Barbara Corcoran, The Corcoran Group, Inc., Real Estate

"More so than other survey-driven guides — such as the Zagat restaurant guides , which this resembles — The Franklin Report actually interviews the respondents, preserving that word-of-mouth feel."
The Financial Times

"I am very pleased with the result of our collaboration. It is quite an achievement and very tastefully done. The whole industry is talking about it. We are all pleased and excited about its potential."

Interior Design Magazine

"It’s about time! I am delighted someone finally took the time, energy, and inevitable headaches to pull this off. Openness and information will lead more clients to these seasoned professionals and not just those with perfect scores. You have my complete admiration… and now my attention."
Kerry Brock, Franklin Report user

"The first week it hit the streets I got two calls in two days from prospective clients who found my name in The Franklin Report. These people were well-qualified, serious customers who were doing their homework before undertaking a major renovation. One of the callers told me she got her painter from The Franklin Report as well."
Pat D’Onofrio, PD Security Systems
