In short
"Recommended" is the highest status on Payotte, and it is earned twice over: the professional is first selected on public data — reviews, years in the trade, active licence — then personally confirms their profile is accurate. There are 64 of them across Canada, in 29 cities and 5 trades, and 49 publish on their profile a number you can check on their regulator's register. No place is for sale: Payotte takes no commission on your transaction and no fee to appear here.

The one gesture we cannot make for them: publicly showing, on their own domain, the link to their verified profile. They are not scored higher — they went all the way.
The list, province by province
Geographic order, not a ranking: Payotte publishes a single professional per sector and never ranks them against each other. The score is shown because it is public on every profile.

How this status is earned
- Verified — Payotte editorially retains one professional per sector and trade, from public data: Google reviews (35 pts), experience (30), active licence (15), local footing (15), distinctions (5). Published from 70/100.
- Recommended — the professional confirms their own profile in writing. Nothing else changes: confirming is not re-verifying, and no points are granted for replying. A professional who cooperates does not buy rank.
- What can remove someone from this list — a score falling back under 70, or data that no longer holds. The status follows the data, not the length of the relationship.
- The badge — 6 of these 64 professionals display the Payotte badge on their own site. It is voluntary, free, and earns no points: it is simply public proof, on their side, that they stand behind the selection.
