With the position, users can discuss feedback from customers, compare prices and connect directly to local contractors via the Redfin site or Android app.
“Millions of people will use Redfin to find a home this year, and our collaboration with Thumbtack helps them to take care of that house long after they move in,” said Ariel Dos Santos, Senior Vice President Product and Design by Redfin.
“By recommending trusted professionals for home improvement projects, we save customers time and hassle and help them maximize the value of their home. It is just one way in which we make the journey of home ownership smoother.”
Integrated services are aimed at streamlining the experience of the homeowner – in particular for those who are preparing to sum up their properties. As the housing market shifts in favor of buyers, Redfin agents say that presentation is more than ever important.
“Today’s buyers are more selective about the houses they will offer,” said Connie Durnal, a Redfin Premier Agent in Dallas. “Almost everyone is looking for something that is ready, and when they think they have to paint a room or replace a tap, they can go to the next house. That is why I encourage all my sellers to go an extra mile and make their house the radiant star.”
The collaboration also benefits long -term owners who want to complete seasonal maintenance or upgrades. Redfin users have access to a list of trending local services, in which Thumbtack’s artificial intelligence-based system corresponds to the right professionals.
“We are pleased to work with Redfin to support homeowners throughout their entire home journey – from the purchase and sales process to managing, maintaining and improving their homes,” said Michael Kim, vice -president strategy and business development of Thumbtack.
