SOLD.com Partners with HomeAdvisor to Offer Home Improvement Services to Home Sellers

Business Wire 29-May-2019 9:00 AM

SOLD.com, the first-of-its-kind educational resource and proprietary recommendation engine for homeowners researching and evaluating the many ways to buy and sell a home, today announced a partnership with HomeAdvisor, the premier service connecting consumers with home improvement professionals in the United States. This new partnership will offer homeowners a more inclusive home selling experience by integrating HomeAdvisor's leading home improvement marketplace experience with the SOLD.com website and process.

According to a recent survey by SOLD.com, preparing a home for the market is the most stressful part of selling a home, outweighing financial considerations associated with moving and the anxiety of moving itself.

"Understanding that home improvement is a major pain point for our customers preparing to sell fueled our commitment to finding a partner like HomeAdvisor," said Matt Woods, President of SOLD.com. "Our goal is to simplify the home selling journey by providing homeowners with the education and professional resources that can best help them achieve their goals. That journey starts well before the For-Sale sign gets planted in the front yard."

Through SOLD.com's free service, homeowners will not only find the best method to sell their homes on SOLD.com, they'll also receive an in-home consultation and evaluation of listing-readiness of the home. Through this partnership, home sellers will now have a pricing guide of home improvement costs and the ability to connect with top-rated pros who can make necessary improvements.

"We are excited to partner with SOLD.com. They are an innovative company whose approach is complementary to our own, matching consumers to the professionals who can help them," said Scott Weigel, Vice President, Business Development with HomeAdvisor. "Our pros will be there to help SOLD.com's customers prep their homes prior to listing, resolve projects that might arise during a home inspection, and again as sellers buy new homes and seek to do improvements on their new property."
