Fix it now. Pay at closing with Curbio

Do you want to maximize the return on your Home sale?

Are you thinking about selling your home but don’t know where to start? Your home may be the most valuable single asset you own. When it comes time to sell it, you want to walk away with the most money possible. Television shows on HG TV revolve around this desire. Why not effectively act as a flipper of your own house? This way more of the gains that are achieved from making the house sparkle go into your pocket. Curbio allows you to do this easily and you don’t have to pay a dime until closing.

Check out these before and after photos from a house that was listed in Arlington, VA. Look at that dramatic difference! In this project, after Curbio’s renovations, the home was under contract in 5 days for $25,000 over asking price. It also resulted in an additional $57K in profit over what they would have gotten had they sold it in original condition. Wow!

These options may seem like a good idea …

Selling your Home AS IS is always an option. Some agents may even encourage it because it’s the path of least resistance for you and especially for them. However, doing so means you are very likely leaving your hard-earned money on the table. Buyers today will pay a premium for turn-key homes that are ready for them to move in. They don’t like the uncertainty of having to find available contractors or having the delays of supply chain issues. Sellers that choose to sell their homes in less than move-in-ready condition could be leaving an average of 50K on the table.

Another option that may look like it will net you more money is to sell your house yourself. On the surface this looks like it will save you at least the commission right? Except that in this current market, most buyers are working with agents so you will likely have to pay at least for them. You also cant take advantage of Curbio’s “Fix now. Pay Later” plan as they only work with licensed real estate agents. This is how they make sure the work they do is the correct scope for the current market conditions.

Fix now. Pay at Closing. Sell for More!

Most homes need updates and repairs before going on the market, but the traditional improvement process is slow, unreliable, and can be risky when a home transaction is on the line.

Curbio brings a better way to complete pre-listing updates, and they’ve proven it! Now you can experience a simple, streamlined home improvement solution that eliminates the stress of getting homes market-ready. It includes concierge service and can be completed in a fraction of the time that regular contractors take because they have all of the supplies already on hand. The best part is you don’t have to pay for the updates until closing.

What types of projects can I use Curbio for?

We have completed over 1,000 projects ranging from under $500 to over $800,000. Every listing is unique, and we are happy to take on anything from simple repairs to whole-home makeovers.

Are there any scope limitations to use Curbio?
- There are no minimums or maximums tied to their pay-at-closing model, ensuring that any agent can get any listing market-ready. To determine a specific client’s maximum budget, we use a simple equity equation (80% of the expected after-renovation value minus the amount currently owed on the property) to ensure a sound business case.
How does Curbio make money?
- Curbio makes money just like a traditional general contractor. Curbio gets paid solely for the work they complete, at the price agreed upon before the project kicks off, with no additional charges or hidden fees.
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 monthly admin fee to extend the payment deadline.
