Housing Headlines: Curbio and Redfin Mortgage
Summary
“We are redesigning the lending process to be fast, easy and intuitive for our customers, combining technology with personal service to streamline the entire experience from pre-approval to closing,” said Jason Bateman, head of Redfin Mortgage. “By earning a seller’s confidence that the sale will close on time, offers from buyers with a Redfin Mortgage pre-approval letter stand out from the crowd.” Tech-enabled renovation company Curbio has expanded its reach to Minneapolis-St. Paul and Seattle this week. “Millennial buyers are flocking to Minneapolis-St. Paul in search of updated, move-in ready homes,” said Curbio’s Vice Presidnet of Marketing Rikki Rogers. “We’re excited to introduce our turnkey process to help buyers, sellers and agents enjoy a more seamless experience in this booming market.” Curbio also says that Seattle is another big hub for Millennials, and could see a hot real estate market this year. “Renovated homes sell more quickly and generate greater profit, but homeowners often opt out due to the significant time and financial risk involved,” Rogers said.
