We’re excited to announce the roll-out of a LendingPoint partnership with Smith, a mobile app that makes it quick and easy to get quotes on home repair and improvement services! These days, who has the time to do tedious research on handymen and contractors, or the energy to solicit referrals from friends and neighbors? The Smith mobile app is like a matchmaking service for homeowners and service providers.

All you need to do visit the Smith site or download the app, snap a picture of what you need done, submit it along with a short description, and let Smith do the rest. They’ll match your location and requested service with trusted, top-rated providers who will provide multiple bids on your project. Add simple, fast access to fair loans when the job is more expensive than your bank account can handle, and you have the best of both worlds.

Started in May, homeowners in California and Georgia who use the Smith mobile app can also apply for a LendingPoint personal loan as part of the process. Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
