It\u2019s one of the many benefits the comes with choosing the direct home buyer over the traditional real estate process. And now that feature has become more streamlined through a partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/market\/denver-colorado\/?utm_source=GMBlisting&amp;utm_medium=organic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Bellhops Moving<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Among the thousands of moving companies in the United States, <a href=\"3-factors-that-impact-commissions\/\">Offerpad<\/a> chose to align with Bellhops because of its innovative business model and customer-focused strategy. The two companies began working together in Atlanta and Charlotte, and based on that successful collaboration decided to expand their partnership to include all current Offerpad markets.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-48937 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-08-17-at-8_46_11-AM-300x300-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"bellhops\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cThis partnership aligns two industry leaders that will support customers during one of the most stressful periods in their lives,\u201d said Offerpad\u2019s CEO, Brian Bair. \u201cOfferpad and Bellhops are both customer-centric companies that combine technology and people to provide a service above the status quo. Our customers trust us with the largest financial asset in their name, and we don\u2019t take that lightly\u2014which is why we only partner with companies that have a proven track record and support our core values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Due to its one-of-a-kind labor platform, which not only streamlines the move-day process but also ensures customers are matched with the most-qualified movers and drivers in their area, Bellhops has become the fastest-growing company in the $18B moving industry. The company recently announced its expansion in Tampa and Orlando, which creates a full alignment with Offerpad\u2019s footprint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cWe are laser-focused on refining the experience of moving with technology and talented people,\u201d said Bellhops\u2019 CEO, Luke Marklin. \u201cThis partnership with Offerpad is an extension of our mission to provide more people a stress-free journey to their new home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-48938 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/01\/offerpad-300x94-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"94\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Offerpad has revolutionized the way people buy and <span class=\"s2\">sell their homes<\/span>. The process is simple: Customers visit Offerpad.com to request an offer on their property, which they then receive within 24 hours. Upon the acceptance of its offer, the company manages home renovations, the inspection process, and the paperwork\u2014all while providing customers with a comfortable level of control. It even allows them to select their closing date and extends the option of a free move within a 50-mile radius. Customers who take advantage of the free move are then paired with a reputable third-party moving company in their area. Offerpad\u2019s new partnership with Bellhops will now streamline the process for the seller, as both companies will work in parallel to provide the best experience from the moment a customer requests a purchase offer to the day they move into their new home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">To request an offer or learn more about Offerpad\u2019s free-move feature, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offerpad.com\"><span class=\"s2\">www.offerpad.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two nontraditional, fast-growing companies align to simplify the experience of moving<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15802,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>iBuyer Model Offerpad Partners with Bellhops to Streamline Moving<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"iBuyer Model Offerpad Partners with Bellhops to Streamline Moving.
