Since 2012 been online on chat as long I am home and not sleeping, but being online does not always mean that I am in front of computer.

Chat software automatically greet visitors after few minutes of staying on website. Chat popping up does NOT mean that I know that you are here. You MUST write a message in chat to make my computer or phone ringing, case in which I try to answer as fast I can. If you don’t need my help, just close chat popup, do NOT write “no thanks” to avoid prank calls (making me to pull phone out of pocket unnecessarily).

See Zendesk Chat Dashboard how I answer visitors. In 2021 replaced Zendesk Chat with LiveChat to appear online 24/7 + ChatBot to provide instant answers to 50+ most common questions: “do you accept PayPal?”, “how often do you update”, “oldest car included?”.

If you write anything else, chatbot transfer you to human support (when I am online: 07:00 – 21:00 GMT) or show FAQ (when I am sleeping). Read more: how the chat + bot is working.

I am NOT employed, affiliated with any government or company, or get paid “to help people”. I am independent, this is my personal website and only YOU can pay.

For example if chat consultation helped you to decide to buy a $500,000 property, a donation to paypal @ teoalida.com is appreciated. Example: someone paying $20 for architectural consultation.

While chat consultation is FREE, research, drawings and database services are NOT FREE. This is how I make a living.

Please keep chats short by asking ONLY questions that aren’t already answered on website. Avoid long conversations if you do not intend to buy something, pay any service, offer anything else in exchange, or other business collaboration: good example vs bad example. Having less questions to answer help me offering more frequent updates for everyone.

I work from home ONLINE to people from all over the world, as typical freelancers do. I do not have any public office and I usually do not meet customers. Even if you live just few kilometers away from me, I prefer to not meet in real life unless is absolutely necessary.

If you need an employee in your office, or require me to travel somewhere, I am NOT the right person.

In the past I made projects on request basis, but currently I have big responsibilities: to provide regular updates for few hundreds companies who purchased databases from me. Consequently I am NOT a freelancer that you can hire to “do a project just for you”. I can earn more $ doing SEO and marketing to increase sales of existing projects, rather than increasing number of projects.

Instead, you can suggest ideas of new projects if you want something that I don’t have already. I do new projects depending by available time and (unless your project can be done in few minutes – example) only if multiple people are interested, and post them on website so anyone interested can make payment and download it in seconds.

You are also welcome if you need 10-minute consultation, having pre-purchase questions about my projects, etc. But if you request an architectural design or anything else that takes hours/days and have NO USE for anyone else than yourself, I won’t spend my personal time helping you, instead I connect you with my partners offering services starting at $10/hour (useful if you need long-term workforce).

If you are architect, interior designer, programmer (experienced in data mining), or real estate agent, you are welcome to be my part-time partner and I can pass you leads occasionally. Show me your portfolio!

Some customers suggested me opening a company and have a team ready to do projects without delays. Other customers refused to work with my team and insisted to have project done by myself. Lacking constant flow of customers + difficulties in convincing customers to pay in advance for a project that will be completed in X days (opposite than buying completed projects), is NOT viable to hire full-time staff for each type of service people may ask for.
