Lombardo has a background in <a href=\"marketing-dollars\/\">digital marketing and social media<\/a>, with more than a decade of experience delivering value-added services to corporations and entrepreneurs. She previously worked for&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #212121;\">Vocus (now Cision), which owns PRWeb\/PRNewswire, and was founded and sold by&nbsp;Curbio&#8217;s CEO, Rick Rudman.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Curbio bills itself as the first home renovation company to focus exclusively on pre-sale renovation, helping listing agents and their sellers repair, update, and stage homes before they&#8217;re listed in order to reduce days on market and increase net proceeds. The company&#8217;s unique &#8220;renovate now, pay when you sell&#8221; payment model eliminates the need to arrange financing and is part of its turnkey solution which makes pre-sale home refurbishing easy and hassle-free.<\/p>\n<p>Curbio is disrupting the mom-and-pop home improvement industry with a tech-enabled process that alleviates many of the typical frustrations associated with <a href=\"we-buy-houses-helping-homeowners\/\">home renovation<\/a> while also shortening the process from months to weeks. In addition, the company&#8217;s pre-sale renovation expertise and focus result in a fast, professional, and painless process that delivers maximum return on investment for home sellers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Our partnerships with real estate agents are critical to the success of our business,&#8221; said&nbsp;<span class=\"xn-person\">Rick Rudman<\/span>, CEO of Curbio. &#8220;Our renovation expertise, combined with the real estate agent&#8217;s in-depth knowledge of the local market, is a powerful combination that produces renovations that buyers love. In fact, 100% of our business comes from real estate agent referrals, and we only work with sellers who are represented by a real estate agent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Curbio is currently serving&nbsp;<span class=\"xn-location\">Washington, D.C.<\/span>,&nbsp;<span class=\"xn-location\">Baltimore<\/span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<span class=\"xn-location\">Philadelphia<\/span>\/<span class=\"xn-location\">South Jersey<\/span>.
