HomeAdvisor acquired Angie’s List on October 2, 2017, and renamed itself ANGI Homeservices (NASDAQ: ANGI), the world’s biggest digital marketplace for home services. IAC now owns a majority stake in ANGI Homeservices, the parent firm of HomeAdvisor. HomeAdvisor, Angie’s List, mHelpDesk, HomeStars (Canada), MyHammer (Germany), MyBuilder (UK), Werkspot (Netherlands), Instapro (Italy), and Travaux.com are among the ten brands operated by ANGI Homeservices in eight nations. (France). HomeAdvisor, formerly known as ServiceMagic, was established in 1998 by Rodney Rice and Michael Beaudoin, who were also members of Einstein Bros Bagels’ founding management team. InterActive Corp (NASDAQ: IAC) purchased the website in 2004 for an unknown sum.
Craig Smith was named CEO of ServiceMagic Inc. by IAC in January 2008. He was the company’s Senior Vice President of the Consumer Division. Rodney Rice and Michael Beaudoin, co-founders, were appointed co-chairmen and advisers. When IAC split into five publicly traded companies, ServiceMagic stayed a subsidiary of the parent company. ServiceMagic Europe was formed in October 2008 when ServiceMagic acquired the French businesses 123Devis.com and Travaux.com, as well as the UK company 123GetAQuote.co.uk. The UK operation was renamed ServiceMagic.co.uk in March 2009.
Chris Terrill was appointed Chief Executive Officer in April 2011. ServiceMagic was renamed as HomeAdvisor in October 2012. “We’re the only network for this type of on-demand service,” then-CEO Chris Terrill told StreetFight Magazine after rebranding. HomeAdvisor acquired Werkspot.nl, the top Dutch home improvement platform, in 2013. HomeAdvisor had more than $300 million in annual income by 2015, was used by more than 30 million homeowners, had nearly 100,000 pre-screened service professionals in its network, and had nearly 3 million verified reviews.
HomeAdvisor acquired MyHammer, a German home services business, in 2016. HomeAdvisor purchased HomeStars, Canada’s leading home services platform, and MyBuilder, the UK’s leading home services platform connecting homeowners and tradesmen, in 2017. On May 1, 2017, HomeAdvisor parent firm IAC announced that they had reached an agreement to merge IAC’s HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List into a new publicly traded company to be known as ANGI Homeservices, Inc. HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List merged on October 2, 2017 to create ANGI Homeservices (NASDAQ: ANGI), the world’s largest digital marketplace for home services.
Angi Inc. (previously ANGI Homeservices Inc.) is a 2017 internet services business formed by the merger of Angie’s List and HomeAdvisor. The company’s origins can be traced back to Angie’s List, an American home services website founded in 1995 as an online directory that enables users to read and post crowd-sourced reviews of local businesses and contractors.
ANGI recorded a total revenue of US$1,132,000,000 and a net income of US$77,507,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2018. The Wall Street Journal reported on May 1, 2017, that IAC was planning to acquire Angie’s List. ANGI Homeservices Inc. was the new publicly traded business by September 2017. The stock began selling in early October of 2017. Angi relocated its company headquarters to Denver, Colorado in March 2019.
Angie’s List was established in 1995 by William S. Oesterle and Angie Hicks. The concept arose from Hicks’ hunt for a dependable construction contractor in suburban Columbus, Ohio, on behalf of Oesterle, Hicks’ boss and a venture capitalist. Hicks relocated to Columbus to work with Oesterle on Columbus Neighbors, a call-in service and publication that features reviews of local house and lawn care services. Unified Neighbors in Indianapolis, Indiana inspired the name and idea. Hicks went door-to-door, recruiting members and gathering ratings of area contractors. After recruiting over 1,000 members in Columbus in a year, Hicks turned to Oesterle for help raising funds from investors to expand the company.
Angie’s List investors were concerned in 2013 because the company had been in business for more than 18 years but had never shown an annual profit, and company valuations were unrealistic based on actual sales. However, growth estimates for 2015 show significant earnings-per-share development, with a long-term growth rate of 19%. When this is combined with stock estimates rising 13.3% in 2015, some securities research companies, such as Zacks Investment Research, believe ANGI is well-positioned for future earnings growth.
ANGI Homeservices owns HomeAdvisor, a free website and program (iOS and Android). That is the same corporation that controls Angi. Users can use HomeAdvisor to discover prescreened local professionals, obtain quotes, and schedule appointments. There are ads for construction, landscaping, home repair, house cleaning, and other services.
Aside from assisting you in hiring pros, HomeAdvisor’s resource center offers expert tips and tutorials. Guides on common home maintenance and repair tasks, as well as ideas and inspiration, are available. Another free feature on HomeAdvisor is the True Cost Guide. It will give you an idea of how much you can anticipate to pay for the services of a professional. These estimates are based on actual local and national home project data, according to HomeAdvisor.
Instant Booking, which was introduced in 2015, allows homeowners to immediately make appointments with service professionals and “eliminate phone tag between the provider and the homeowner, which was how the service worked previously.” Instant Connect is a program that “contacts homeowners by phone within one to two minutes by a HomeAdvisor specialist.” Same Day Service enables homeowners to make an appointment for their home project to be completed on the same day. Homeowners can also schedule appointments with HomeAdvisor via Facebook. HomeAdvisor also works with smart gadgets such as the Apple Watch and Amazon Echo.
