Real Estate Brokerages Recruit and Retain Agents with Curbio Home Readiness Partnerships

Brokers help their buy and sell side agents win listings and referrals with a hassle-free way to repair, update, and stage every listing.

POTOMAC, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Curbio, the national residential contractor that works exclusively with real estate brokers to help clients refresh and update their listings, has launched a renovation concierge partnership program for real estate brokerages of all sizes. Powered by Curbio^® partnerships can earn brokerage owners significant co-op marketing fees and augment their agent and client services with an on-demand solution that can make every side ready for market or move-in.

“To recruit and retain successful agents, brokerages must support them with value-added services that help them win listings and satisfy clients. Mortgage, title, warranty, and inspection are no longer enough,” said Matthew Siegal, Curbio’s co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer. “Agents expect brokers to partner with an on-demand renovation option that doesn’t require agents or their clients to schedule contractors, source materials, and manage projects.”

Under the Powered by Curbio^® partnership program, brokers present Curbio’s concierge renovation services to their agents as an option for their sellers and buyers. The local Curbio project manager oversees every aspect of the projects, from scheduling contractors, to sourcing materials, to on-site inspections, to ensuring on-time completion.

“Successful agents don’t have time to manage renovation projects, and with Curbio they don’t have to,” added Siegal.

Curbio provides a full range of interior and exterior services, from inspection repairs, refreshes, and staging, to new kitchens, baths, and complete makeovers. However, Curbio has built its reputation on providing unique features and services that typical contractors don’t offer. For example, to avoid delays, the company maintains a curated catalog of readily available materials, fixtures, and appliances in various grades from builder to luxury. It also uses proprietary project management software that optimizes contractor scheduling and minimizes non-productive days.

Curbio created the concierge renovation concept in 2017 to get listings ready for market without agents and homeowners having to manage projects. The company preps buy and sell side properties in dozens of U.S. markets and has served the clients of thousands of agents from nearly every major brokerage brand, including eXp, RE/MAX, Compass, Real, Weichert, HomesServices, Redfin, Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker, and Century 21.

Brokerages promote Curbio’s services under co-branded names as an option only. They don’t require agents to recommend the services or to refer prospective clients. If Curbio agrees to pay a partner brokerage affiliate fees, it requires the brokerage to provide a notice in its advertising.
