RE/NEW powered by Curbio is a ‘Fix now, pay when you sell’ solution for pre-listing home improvements.
Renewing and updating the areas in your home prior to selling can help net 28%, or up to $80,000 more on average, than going to market as-is. RE/NEW powered by Curbio will allow you to have those improvements made prior to selling without taking any money out of pocket beforehand. This program focuses on quick renovations that are by providing onsite project managers. There are no upfront costs and you simply pay at closing.
1
EVALUATE
We combine our pre-sale renovation expertise with your local market knowledge to determine which renovations will maximize the home’s value.
2
RENEW
Our on-site project managers take care of the renovation from beginning to end and share real-time photo and video updates through the Curbio portal.

SELL
Our renovations attract more buyers, reduce days on market, and increase seller proceeds. We’re paid for our work at settlement through the proceeds of the sale. No fees, no interest, no catch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the house doesn’t sell?
Every home will eventually sell, and on average, Curbio homes sell 50% quicker than the national average. In the unlikely event that the home stays listed and unsold for more than a year from our project start, the homeowners can either pay Curbio for the amount due or pay a small monthly admin fee to extend the payment deadline.
What types of projects does Curbio take on?
Curbio can take on any type or size of pre-sale improvements, with no project minimum or maximum. Having completed thousands of projects ranging from under $1,000 to over $800,000, Curbio can take on anything from simple repairs to whole home makeovers. They’ll help with all profit-driven updates including exterior curb appeal updates, bathrooms, kitchens, painting, flooring, water or mold remediation, landscaping, roofs or inspection report repairs – just to name a few!
Is Curbio more expensive than an average contractor?
Curbio pricing is very competitive with what a licensed and insured contractor or home improvement company would charge in your area. Since we use technology to price our work, pricing is consistent across projects, without fluctuations and inconsistencies typically seen in the home improvement industry. In addition, Curbio pricing is inclusive of everything from labor and materials to permitting and project management.
How does Curbio’s ‘Pay at Closing’ model work?
For sellers with enough equity to cover the project cost, Curbio defers 100% of the project cost until closing, with no fees, interest charges, or credit. checks. Curbio completes the project and gets paid when the home is sold. Frequently Asked Questions
