Nowadays, buyers want their homes to be modern and on trend. Curbio helps sellers with timely renovations before their home hits the market.
Nowadays, buyers want their homes to be modern and on trend. Originally, an outdated home wasn’t hitting the mark – but with the help of Curbio, that changed.
Even newer homes need some updates before they go on the market. This Langhorne, Pennsylvania townhouse may have been built in 2004, but it was clear that it hadn’t changed much, if at all, since then. An updated kitchen, touched up bathrooms, and new flooring helped the home achieve a more modern and trendy look that buyers would love.
Mary Camp, a RE/MAX Properties agent, partnered with the Curbio Philadelphia team to take the home from dated to sophisticated.
She explains, “I worked with Curbio to update and refresh what would help result in the highest ROI, and I staged the home in such a way that buyers knew they could simply move in without any projects to do.”
Following the project’s completion, the house had multiple offers, and the sellers accepted one that was well over the asking price with no contingencies. The sale was also the highest on record in the community.
Every house could use a little help before it hits the market. As the real estate agent’s contractor, Curbio is there to help make these updates more accessible for homeowners, and easier to manage for real estate agents. Curbio helps sellers understand the value of their home with a free estimate.

• Installing stainless-steel appliances
• Replacing the sink, faucet, and garbage disposal
• Painting the cabinets
• Updating the lighting fixtures
• Installing new cabinet knobs and pulls
• Painting the walls and ceiling

Primary Bathroom
The primary bath also needed quite a bit of help before it could hit the market. Curbio’s work included:
• Prepping and painting the vanity
• Replacing the vanity top
• Updating the vanity light fixtures
• Deep cleaning the floor tile, grout, and shower
• Painting the walls and ceiling
• Installing new vanity knobs, pulls, and surface mount hinges
• Replacing the shower door
• Caulking the shower and the base of the toilet
• Replacing the faucet
Hall Bathroom
The hall bathroom was another area of the home in need of some improvement. Focusing on profit-driven results, work included:
• Replacing the bathroom mirror for a more trendy option
• Painting the walls and ceiling
• Updating the vanity light fixture
• Deep cleaning the floor, grout, and tub insert
• Caulking the top
• Replacing the sink faucet
Carpet
No buyer likes dirty carpet. Getting the house ready to sell involved replacing the existing carpet and padding.
Mary Camp worked with Curbio to put a move-in-ready listing on the market, and fellow RE/MAX agents can too. Agents can get started with Curbio by requesting an estimate for pre-sale updates from the Curbio team.
