From Dream to Execution
Since its inception in 2017, Curbio provides a streamlined and reliable project process designed specifically for the home sales process, where efficiency, reliability, and quality are critical. Rick, co-founder and CEO, drives Curbio’s mission to provide a seamless solution for getting homes market-ready, a historically stressful and fragmented process for real estate agents.
“Home repairs and updates are part of every real estate transaction,” Rick asserts. “Today’s buyers want move-in ready homes, making pre-listing home improvements a major gating factor for a successful home sale. Our mission is to support real estate agents with a smooth, fully-managed home improvement experience, especially when their reputation and transactions are at stake.”

The All-In-One Advantage: The Curbio App
Before Curbio, getting estimates for home repairs and updates involved extensive back-and-forth with contractors, taking weeks or even months. Curbio identified the need for quick and transparent pricing to condense the listing preparation timeline and enhance the client experience.
The Curbio app is a tool that provides instant, market-specific pricing for pre-sale home improvements and inspection repairs within seconds, making it effortless for real estate agents to share pricing while sitting at the kitchen table with their clients.
The Curbio app also takes the guesswork out of home inspections, converting lengthy home inspection reports into detailed summaries with market-specific pricing for the repairs, all completely free of charge for real estate agents. Agents can use the insight for negotiation or contract with Curbio, with no payment due until closing.
Chief Product Officer Darren Stewart states, “Curbio is setting new standards with upfront and transparent pricing, challenging an industry notorious for hidden costs.”
Beyond instant pricing, the Curbio App provides transparency with real-time project tracking and management, eliminating hours that agents spend on frequent site visits, material sourcing, and oversight of tradespeople. Real estate agents can track their client projects on-the-go with frequent project updates delivered to their phone and computer via the Curbio app. In an industry plagued by unreliable contractors, quality concerns, and delays, Curbio is dedicated to the agent’s success, crossing the finish line together.
A Real Estate Agent’s Go-To Contractor for Every Listing
Every home needs work before hitting the market, and every real estate agent needs reliable partners to get it done. “If the home is being sold and is represented by a real estate agent, Curbio will tackle any work, big and small, necessary to get it ready for sale,” says Rick. “We have completed over 5,000 projects ranging from under $500 to over $800,000. Every listing is unique, and we handle everything from simple repairs, staging, and cosmetic refreshes, to whole-home renovations.”
Curbio is the go-to solution for agents needing a fast, efficient, and dependable contractor. Chief Revenue Officer Norm Weissberg underscores the value in today’s market: “Real estate agents build their business on their reputation, the solutions they provide, and the experience they deliver.”
In an increasingly competitive real estate landscape where homeowner expectations are at an all-time high, agents must demonstrate exceptional value to earn trust and win listings. Norm adds, “Walking into a listing presentation with a completely turnkey way to get necessary repairs and updates done quickly and with no payment until closing is a major value-add for real estate agents.”
A Responsive Team That Delivers Every Time
Specializing in getting homes ready to list, Curbio knows that time is essential and is ready to start work immediately with a wide-range of high-quality materials and finishes that are ready to ship and an extensive network of licensed trade professionals.
Aaron Glines, a California-based Curbio project manager with over 20 years of construction experience, emphasizes the importance of having a dependable team. “I’m only as good as my contractors. It’s crucial we have trade partners who take pride in their work and adhere to our quality standards,” he explains.
Beyond his expertise, Aaron focuses on building lasting relationships. “Part of my job is to build relationships with real estate agents and homeowners and help them feel supported,” he says. These relationships require time and patience. “When I meet a client, I try to understand what matters most to them, then I can deliver what they need.”
A key aspect is being transparent and responsive. “As a project manager, one of the most important things we can do is be there for homeowners and real estate agents. Sometimes, it’s as simple as answering your phone, listening to their concerns, and finding solutions,” Aaron notes.
Curbio works alongside real estate agents as partners to deliver the best results for their clients, ensuring a successful and seamless experience every step of the way.

A Team That Cares
Giving back to the community is at the heart of Curbio’s mission. CEO Rick Rudman and his family have a long history of supporting Interfaith Works, a non-profit network dedicated to aiding individuals in poverty, helping over 35,000 people annually.
Interfaith Works’ Priscilla’s House, a long-term living solution for elderly women experiencing homelessness, had been used for 18 years without updates. Recognizing the need for an improved facility and quality of life for its residents, Curbio stepped in.
Curbio renovated Priscilla’s House free of charge, updating bathrooms and the kitchen, replacing appliances, flooring, painting, landscaping, and deep cleaning. After the renovation, Curbio volunteers pitched in to assemble new furniture and add the finishing touches.
“As a growing company, Curbio is responsible for giving back to the communities in which we operate. I was born and raised in Montgomery County, MD so I knew updating Priscilla’s House was a perfect fit. When we have the opportunity to use our skills as a home improvement business to help our community, we welcome it,” said Rick.
