SEATTLE, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OfferUp, the largest mobile marketplace in the U.S. for local buyers and sellers, today announced the launch of its newest offering, OfferUp Services. Expanding beyond the traditional buying and selling of goods, this innovative solution allows users to easily and reliably connect with local professionals for a variety of project needs. From home repairs and cleaning to moving assistance and more, OfferUp Services simplifies the process of finding skilled professionals while providing local service businesses with opportunities to connect with more homeowners.

Through OfferUp Services, users can browse, request quotes, and hire professionals directly within the OfferUp app. This resource makes it easy for users to look at past customer ratings and reviews, assess skills and credentials, and reach out to pros with questions on projects from home repairs and maintenance to improvements and personal training. By streamlining the process, OfferUp Services helps users save time and easily find the right help for their projects without the hassle of searching multiple platforms. In addition, OfferUp Services allows businesses to showcase key service offerings to local users in their respective markets, enhancing their community presence and driving engagement through the intuitive OfferUp app experience.

"With OfferUp's large user base and easy-to-use app, we're confident this new offering will connect local businesses and users in a way that's fresh and innovative. It's a natural extension of what we already offer, creating a one-stop-shop where users can quickly and affordably find solutions for all their local needs."

We're pleased to share that OfferUp Services is powered by Thumbtack at launch, delivering a robust and seamless experience for users and businesses alike. We look forward to adding direct posts in early 2025 to provide more ways for businesses to connect with local audiences.
