Curbio, the pay-at-closing home improvement solution for the real estate industry, has added an inspection repair tool to its suite of product offerings. This tool will be available to real estate agents on both the buying and selling sides of a home sale. With this new tool, Curbio streamlines the estimate and repair processes for agents following home inspection reports, getting homes to the closing stage faster, the company said.
Agents no longer need to waste their time interpreting complicated inspection reports and chasing down repair estimates. Curbio’s inspection repair tool is a quick, reliable solution for interpreting reports, pricing out repairs, and giving agents the option to execute repairs as quickly as possible.
At no cost, agents simply submit a client’s inspection report to Curbio. From there, Curbio will provide a same day, no-obligation estimate on the repairs noted in the report. Listing and buying agents can use this estimate to provide a reliable scope of work for inspection repairs to their clients, who may then tap into Curbio’s pay-at-closing offering for the repairs if they so choose. Clients who move forward with inspection repairs by Curbio will receive the white-glove service that Curbio is known for, with Curbio taking care of all sourcing, project management and communication and serving as the licensed, insured general contractor on all projects. With urgency in mind when getting ready to list or while under contract, Curbio will complete the updates 50% faster than the average contractor.
“The inspection process can hold up the sale of a home as negotiations and repairs can be time consuming for all parties — agents, buyers and sellers,” said Olivia Mariani, chief marketing officer at Curbio. “Homeowners and sellers trust that their agent will help them understand the cost of repairs and negotiate the best possible outcome. Our new inspection repair tool rounds out our suite of services, providing further support to real estate agents and their clients during the home sale process and removing barriers to closing.”
In addition to home inspection repairs, Curbio manages pre-listing home improvements that generate the highest ROI for home sellers and lift sales prices by 28% on average..
The inspection repair tool will be available with the upcoming launch of Curbio’s new mobile app. The tool will be available to the 60-plus cities that Curbio currently services, with additional market expansions to come.
