Redfin, a technology-powered real estate company, and Thumbtack, a platform connecting homeowners with service professionals, have announced a partnership to integrate home project assistance directly into Redfin’s platform.Through this collaboration, homeowners utilizing Redfin can now access Thumbtack’s network of professionals directly from their Redfin Owner Dashboard. This feature allows users to browse services, connect with vetted professionals, review customer feedback, and obtain cost estimates for various home improvement projects.The integration addresses a demand in the current housing market, particularly for sellers. Connie Durnal, a Redfin Premier agent in Dallas, highlighted the importance of move-in ready homes. “Today’s buyers are more selective about the homes they’ll offer on. Nearly everyone is looking for something move-in ready, and if they think they’ll have to paint a room or replace a faucet, they may move on to the next home. That’s why I’m encouraging all of my sellers to go the extra mile and make their home the shining star,” Durnal stated.Beyond preparing homes for sale, the feature supports homeowners with seasonal maintenance and larger renovations. Ariel Dos Santos, Redfin’s Senior Vice President of Product and Design, noted, “Millions of people will use Redfin to find a home this year, and our partnership with Thumbtack helps them care for that home long after they move in. By recommending trusted pros for home improvement projects, we’re saving customers time and hassle while helping them maximize the value of their home.” Michael Kim, Thumbtack’s Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, added, “Through this partnership, Redfin users will have access to Thumbtack’s community of trusted pros to accomplish all of their home goals. From inspections to repairs, improvements, and ongoing upkeep, homeowners can now confidently navigate homeownership at every stage.”To utilize the service, Redfin users can claim their home on the platform and navigate to their Owner Dashboard. Under the ‘Home Improvements’ section, they can search for specific projects, from house cleaning to HVAC maintenance. Thumbtack’s AI-powered system then matches them with suitable professionals. The platform also offers trending service suggestions. This feature is currently accessible via Redfin.com and the Redfin Android application.Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) operates as a technology-powered real estate company offering brokerage, rentals, lending, and title insurance services, and is recognized for its real estate brokerage website.
