Review Time
Danger. Avoid. Predatory lending model and highly unethical company.Do not trust Curbio with your home or your finances.I’m writing this review because I refused to sign the NDA Curbio offered me after our experience with them. They tried to buy my silence with a $3,000 discount—after I had already paid $8,000 to settle the cost of botched carpet installation. I chose to speak up instead. What began as a renovation project to help sell our home turned into a months-long disaster that cost us tens of thousands of dollars, delayed our sale, and caused us to lose offers on homes for my elderly mother-in-law. We’re only now beginning to recover financially and emotionally.Curbio promises professional project management, but does not deliver. What we got was a project manager who was unfamiliar with our contract, missed meetings, whispered through blacked-out Zoom calls, and failed to supervise a single vendor after our initial walkthrough. Workers arrived unannounced and unsupervised. One day, roofers showed up with no ladder or tape measure and borrowed tools from our garage. Another time, our employee overheard an electrician say, “Just make something up and write it down—the owner won’t know.” When I asked for a new project manager—just days into the project—I was told to “remain hopeful.” That request was denied.We were promised weekly walkthroughs and clear oversight, which never happened. Instead, the project manager uploaded photos to the Curbio app that someone else had taken and passed them off as his own. Vendors were rude, corners were cut, and the carpet installation we paid $8,000 for was sloppy, with cheap metal transitions replacing the original hardwood ones. It was never inspected by anyone from Curbio.Upper management did not help. Curbio’s employees set their own schedules, and in our case, that meant no accountability and zero follow-through. After weeks of delays, miscommunication, and broken promises, they finally offered me a $3,000 “discount” if I signed an NDA. I refused. Why would a company that stands by its service need to pay customers to stay silent?To top it off, I later discovered that the regional manager assigned to our project sits on the board of Angel City Advisors, a nonprofit that advocates for housing equity in Los Angeles. I was stunned. How can someone claim to care about housing justice while overseeing a company that exploits families and harms vulnerable sellers?Curbio is not just disorganized—they are dangerous. They violated our contract and our trust. They cost us critical time, money, and housing opportunities. If we had the energy, we’d sue. If you’re considering working with them, don’t. There are better, safer, more ethical options out there.
I was going to use this company but I'm glad I didn't. I was talking with this jerk on the phon, going over what the problem was which was I had no heating. I was informed I would have to take a HELOC out on my house. I said what,,? He said very rudely. It's the only way to get heat. I just hung up. I would never do business with this horrible company.
Working with Curbio was the worst decision we’ve ever made in our lives. They advertise turnkey project management and “pay when you sell” convenience, but what we actually got was disorganization, poor communication, missed deadlines, and constant excuses.Their structural engineers made serious mistakes, and the permit process was a nightmare—applications were submitted incorrectly multiple times, delaying everything by months. Then, Curbio changed their entire business model while we were under contract, broke the agreement, and told us they would no longer fund the project, forcing us to come up with 80% of the remaining costs ourselves. Right after that, our project managers changed multiple times, leaving the job completely leaderless.What should have been a straightforward renovation turned into months of chaos, stress, and financial strain. Curbio’s marketing promises are empty; the reality is a company with no accountability, no consistency, and no integrity.If you value honesty, stability, and professionalism, avoid Curbio entirely.
I want to say thank you for the amazing work on my recent listing. From the very start, your consultation process was clear and straightforward, and both Lori and John made sure the seller and I understood exactly what would happen every step of the way. John, our project manager kept us informed with regular updates, which put our minds at ease.On top of that, the team finished everything promptly, allowing us to get the house back on the market without missing a beat. I truly appreciate how organized and attentive everyone was—this was a smooth and positive experience all around!
I'm a Realtor and have a client who had $25K worth of structural work done , which was to be permitted, but turns out they did not do that. And the work was so bad it cost the seller an additional $20K in a price reduction after the horrendous inspection. Client is likely going to sue them.
We had a fantastic experience working with Curbio and our project manager, Bill. From start to finish, Bill went above and beyond to ensure our project’s success. His attention to detail and ability to handle every aspect of the renovation made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Bill’s dedication and expertise, the house was in perfect condition, and we were able to sell it quickly. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Curbio, especially with Bill at the helm!
I’m just at the end of the project with Curbio and it’s been a complete debacle. We were told 2.5 months and it’s taken almost 7, along with having to hire additional outside contractors to fix errors where we just couldn’t wait any longer for Curbio to get its act together. The PM’s are overwhelmed, support network nonexistent, and standards low. We’re targeting a $1.8M list price, yet they’re putting in cheap fixtures from Amazon and overlooking dozens of really obvious errors in workmanship. Hardly anything on this project has been done correctly the first time without myself and my realtor having to be involved multiple times along the way. I highly regret choosing Curbio, and I hope others won’t make the same mistake.Edit: Project is finished after 7+ months. Asked for a large discount based on their incompetent work. Upper management at Curbio didn't even dispute their incompetence, yet refused to offer any discount until I hinted at legal action. Our realtor and subcontractor both say they'll never work with Curbio again.
