Curbio is partnering with a local luxury real estate firm

Potomac, Maryland-based Curbio has launched a strategic partnership with D.C.-based TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, a luxury real estate firm.

Through this partnership, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty agents will gain access to marketing resources and trainings from Curbio to “help them win listings and educate their seller clients on the benefits of renovating before selling their homes,” according to a press release.

Founded in 2017, Curbio curates a platform to help realtors manage renovation projects while also helping homeowners flip their homes to make a better profit. The startup has a mission to maximize listing prices and shorten days on market to benefit agents and sellers via accelerated proposal and project completion.

This partnership news comes after the real estate tech startup closed a $7 million Series A funding in August, and expanded into Chicago and South Florida last month. Curbio has raised $13.6 million to date. Rikki Rogers, VP of marketing at Curbio, told Technical.ly that Curbio currently has about 60 employees working out of its Potomac office.

“Through our partnership with TTR Sotheby’s, we’re helping DC-area homeowners sell faster and make more money, without the stress of a typical renovation,” said Rogers in a statement.

TTR Sotheby’s International Realty has nine offices across the DMV region, with more than 450 real estate professionals on its employee roster. Among its portfolio of sales, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty was behind the sale of a penthouse at The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton in Georgetown for $8 million.

“Curbio’s renovate now, pay later model truly enables all parties involved to minimize time and maximize their ROI when selling a home,” said Evan Lacopo, managing broker with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, in a press release. “Curbio delivers the same level of service and professionalism our clients expect from a brand like TTR Sotheby’s International Realty and we are looking forward to working with them for many years to come.”
