Inc Magazine just published their annual list of the fastest growing, private companies in the US. Proptech had a great showing out on the list this year. The list below (which I discuss in this episode) isn't likely the exhaustive, entirety of all proptech companies on the list. However, this should satisfy giving you an idea of the types of companies working at the intersection of real estate and technology, that made the 2023 list of fastest growing private companies.The Inc 5000 ranks private companies, based on the self-reported percentage of growth over the last three years.

Cedric Lee was collecting slugs with another diplopodologist James Bailey when they stumbled upon a very odd creature; thin and string-like with lots of fine legs and a long body. “We recognized that it might be something special,” explains Cedric as he shares how they uploaded the image to iNaturalist. Enter Dr. Paul Marek, who saw the pictures and immediately got in touch. After some collection and analysis, they have a new millipede to share, Illacme socal, one of only three species in genus Illacme, which is the only genus of the family Siphonorhinidae present in North America. Millipedes are critically understudied and there's so much more for us to learn. Listen in as Paul and Cedric tell you all about diplopodology and their new discovery! Cedric and Paul's paper “A new species of Illacme from southern California (Siphonophorida, Siphonorhinidae)” is published in issue 1167 of Zookeys.

 a. Curbio - gives you money upfront so you can invest in repairs that you can pay back at the closing!
 b. “When I schedule my prospecting, I get it done. I need the rigidity of a schedule. Otherwise, the whole week goes by.” Ask the Experts: 1. “I've been Wickmanized. I know how to get listings. I'm good at getting listings. But all the buyers I've been finding lately have been in the process for a while. How do I find those buyers who are just starting so they're not already jaded, frustrated, and disappointed?” 2. “I've got a listing that is leased. There are tenants living on the property, and the sellers have asked me to coordinate the showings directly with the tenants. So how do I do that effectively?"

However, often you have the unique challenge of having to communicate a new idea that customers aren't aware of yet. Sometimes it's a new type of business or even a new industry. Olivia shared how she's worked to do just that with Curbio. “Home improvement sucks right now.” That's why there's Curbio! That said, even when customers learn what it is (the nation's leading fix-it-first, pay-when-you-sell home improvement solution for those selling homes), they still don't believe it. “People are always saying it's too good to be true.” Storytelling and the voice of the customer. Olivia's work focuses heavily on storytelling and the voice of the customer. All of this came together on Curbio's recent “Do we have to?” campaign. What brand has made Olivia smile recently? Olivia shared her amazing experiences with Outdoor Voices, an Austin-based athleisure brand.

In episode 1 of industry insider, Ryan is joined by Rick Rudman, CEO of Curbio. Listen for insight on what it takes to be a leader, the different types of executives, and their secrets to success

FHA LOAN LIMITS INCREASED! FHA increased loan limits on multi family housing another $8 billion per year on each enterprise Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac…totaling $156 billion/year in multi family properties. And word is that the $412,850 FHA single family loan limit will go up substantially higher than this level. Both actions are designed to increase housing affordability in low down payments and more homes which qualify for FHA. Zillow Is Bringing Artificial Intelligence to Real Estate - Zillow is working on called a floor plan generator, where they can take the images people upload and generate an actual floor plan with a house for you and find the house you're really looking for...combining that AI with their other AI algorithm (Zestimate). may result in making actual offers on homes. Don't hold your breath. Q2 Title Insurance Premiums of $6.5 Billion Break Records - That's alot of cash corresponding to an approximate 3.5% payout ratio...or approximately $222 million - but for what - errors or overlooked issues that weren't corrected before closing? Do we have full transparency in the title insurance industry with Billions of dollars collected and only millions in payouts? However, title insurance companies didn't exactly lose during this period. During the first six months of 2021, the industry overall paid out $221.1 million in claims, down from $232.9 million from the same period a year prior. Maybe we ought to consider modeling after Iowa's title insurance which is far cheaper and requires title defects to be corrected prior to closing. Curbio will gift a First American home warranty to your clients who complete a Curbio project!. Curbio is the leading home improvement company for Realtors® and their selling clients in the US, with a fast and effortless process to repair and update those areas that will get the largest renovation ROI. Tech Leaders Discuss Artificial Intelligence and its Impact on the Real Estate Industry - Chatbots and voice assistants are extremely popular right now as they allow real estate professionals to provide around-the-clock support that doesn't require a human," said Vin Vomero, CEO of Foxy AI. "Foxy AI's ‘Remodel It' uses computer vision to help consumers get instant and customizable home renovation estimates by analyzing the photos on listing websites by ZIP code. Some companies avoid using A.I. because of the perceived costs and resources required to use it, a lack of trust in A.I. products, the difficulty in explaining what it does behind the scenes and a fear of an A.I. takeover related to job displacement," said Julianne Heller, data scientist at NAR.

8 years ago, Casey Berman worked in real estate when he had an “A-Ha” moment. He began searching for tech companies to help automate the real estate workflow. There weren't many. So Casey formed Camber Creek, a venture capital firm providing strategic value & capital to technology companies focused on the real estate market. Camber Creek eats its own cooking. The firm uses PropTech and Real Estate Tech products before making the investment decision. Fast forward to today. .. The firm has $250 million under management and has nearly 30 portfolio companies. They include: Turbo Appeal, TaskEasy, whyhotel, Notarize, and Curbio. In this 20-minute conversation, Casey reveals how he helps his portfolio companies scale by putting a Rockstar in every seat.

During Episode 95 of The HyperFast Agent Podcast, Rick Rudman, CEO of Curbio, shares a turn-key solution for pre-sale renovation with the audience at the HyperFast Sales Summit. Rick shares Curbio's innovative solution to helping sellers renovate their homes to maximize their profit using a highly efficient process. Listen to learn a smart way you can bring a new value proposition to your sellers. Episode Highlights:  Rick Rudman shares how he first got into renovating homes. Most buyers are looking for move-in ready homes. There's a lot of problems with renovating before you sell. You have to get the money. It takes a lot of time. There's a lot of stress involved in the process. The money side ended up being the easiest problem to solve for people who want to renovate before putting their home on the market. Most contractors don't really know how to do estimates. It can take 6-8 weeks just to get a proposal out of people and it may not be accurate. One problem with pre-sale renovation is figuring out what needs to be designed. Another problem is the fog of renovation. You never know what's going on. They built the company, and the process, on getting the renovation done quickly, making sure the seller is getting a return on investment, and simplicity. The real estate agent and the seller can turn everything over to Curbio.  Rick discusses the value chain of home sales. Next year they anticipate doing 1,000 projects. Adding value is everything. Curbio compiled a national database of what a fair price is for a bathroom, a kitchen, hardwood floors, and painting in every city that they work in. Most of their pricing will be below the national average. Curbio will give you fair pricing and a process that will get you from your first phone call to a fixed-price proposal in about five days. Realtors and their clients get the same pricing every time. They have pre-curated all of the materials based on what's popular today in home sales. Their promise to the homeowner is to make that client money on the sale of their home. Software is a cool part of this process because every step of the project is available to the realtor, the homeowner, and the project manager, so you never have to chase anyone down. Keri was super skeptical when she met Rick but she learned that there really isn't a catch for your clients. 3 Key Points:   There's a lot of problems with renovating before you sell. You have to get the money. It takes a lot of time. There's a lot of stress involved in the process.   The Curbio process is built on getting the renovation done quickly, making sure the seller is getting a return on investment, and simplicity.   Software is a cool part of the Curbio process because every step of the project is available to the realtor, the homeowner, and the project manager.

During Episode 76 of The HyperFast Agent Podcast, host Keri Shull speaks with Rick Rudman, CEO of Curbio. Curbio uses an innovative business model to help homeowners renovate to make more money before selling. Rick shares how Curbio uses speed, simplicity, and transparency to significantly increase the homeowner's profit.    Episode Highlights:  Curbio helps homeowners renovate before putting their home on the market so they can sell it for more money.  This service essentially helps homeowners flip homes themselves instead of giving that money to investors.  Keri has been through this process with buyers before and knows their many fears and objections.  Agents are afraid of spending the time to take clients through the renovation process.  Homeowners and agents know that a move-in ready home that's been renovated is going to sell for more money.  When clients object to renovating it's because they don't have the time, expertise, or money. These fears boil down to   uncertainty and fear.  Curbio defers all renovation costs until closing.  Your clients do not pay them for any of the work until closing.  They'll wait as long as it takes for the house to sell.  Clients sign a contract stipulating that the home will stay listed, they have a realtor working with them, and they will lower the     listing price by 2% for every month the house is on the market.  The Curbio process is about speed, simplicity, and transparency.  They only work with homeowners that have a real estate agent.  Unlike a traditional renovation process, Curbio can provide a fixed price proposal within days.  Because they only do pre-sale renovation, Curbio is built around essentially knowing what products and projects they need to do   to make sure the homeowner is going to make a profit.   They complete the majority of their projects in 4-5 weeks.  What if you could go to the seller and tell them they could add 100k value to their home in 4-5 weeks?  They're bringing modern technology to an outdated industry.  Keri applied to do a reality tv show with this concept.  Because you're helping them manifest more money, homeowners will remember you and this will translate to conversations with   friends and family members.  The average homeowner is getting back 2x what they put in in our project.  Learn which cities Curbio is available in and where they're expanding soon.   Curbio provides a way for any realtor or broker to provide a concierge service.  Keri explains why she was skeptical when she first heard of this concept.  There is no catch. Curbio makes money on volume and efficiency.   3 Key Points: Curbio helps homeowners renovate before listing their homes while deferring renovation costs until closing. Using Curbio gives agents a competitive advantage in gaining listings because it addresses so many of the fears homeowners have about renovating. There's no catch. Curbio makes a profit based on volume and efficiency.    Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Hyperfast Academy; HyperFast Summit; HyperFast Inner Circle Keri Shull: Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram Rick Rudman LinkedIn Curbio

Citibank fined $30 million for holding onto foreclosures for too long Citibank was fined $30 million by federal banking regulators after an investigation found that the bank was not selling foreclosed homes back into the market fast enough. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced Friday that it fined Citibank $30 million for “violations related to the holding period of other real estate owned.” Under federal banking regulations, there is a two-year limit on banks maintaining possession of a foreclosed property. The rules stipulate that banks can apply for an annual exemption that can push their ownership of a property to as much as five years.   House-flipping startup Curbio expanding into 8 additional metro areas Curbio, a house-flipping startup that gives owners with homes that need renovation an alternative to selling “as is” to an iBuyer, is expanding into eight additional metro areas within the next few months. Curbio describes itself as a “renovation partner” that uses its proprietary software to plan and complete a project.
