We’ve heard from many of you that finding home services professionals is a challenge. That’s why today we’re launching a new way for people in the US to use Marketplace to find someone who can do a great job at a fair price. The service will start with home services and expand to other professional categories later this year. To get started, look for the “Find professionals” experience in the menu of your app or on Marketplace’s website.

Whether you need help designing your dream home, renovating your kitchen or getting the paint color just right, a home design professional can be a valuable resource. But before you hire one, do some research. Check out their portfolio photos and read reviews. If possible, ask to talk with former clients and see previous projects in person.

LinkedIn is another good place to find writers, especially since it’s a network for professionals. You can post a writing project directly on the platform and select your favorite writers or choose a talent agency to handle the hiring process for you.

When choosing a writer, make sure to choose one with the expertise you need and who has done the kind of writing you want to have done. It’s also a good idea to work with the same writer on multiple articles so they have an understanding of your voice and how to write for your audience.

For smaller-scale projects, we recommend checking out PeoplePerHour, which allows you to build full teams of freelancers for any job and offers a risk-free escrow payment system and anti-fraud protection. And for more in-depth projects, consider using a modern writing agency that’s designed to match you with the perfect writer for your project.

Angi (formerly Angie’s List) is another service that can be helpful in finding nearby home services professionals. Its ProFinder tool will match you with a few local professionals, and it offers a money-back guarantee and property damage coverage in case something goes wrong. If you’d rather browse its directory, you can search by type of service, read verified reviews and request quotes from businesses.Trovare professionisti
