It’s no surprise that Tennessee-based simpliHŌM Founder and CEO Sean Miku is passionate about simplicity. Embedded into the name of his brand, this value is the driving force behind his mission to make the lives of both his clients and agents easier.
“My company’s objective and mission is making real estate simple,” says Miku.“ We focus on providing a plethora of tools, support software, etc., that makes the life of the agent easier and, in turn, makes the life of the consumer easier.”
Nearly two years ago, Miku received information from one of his brokers about an organization that could provide his team with a pre-listing readiness program. Upon further investigation, Miku realized that a partnership with Curbio possessed fantastic potential.
“It just fits,” says Miku, who can’t say enough about the simplicity of using Curbio, the speed in which Curbio is deployed to the consumer and the flexibility of the programs Curbio provides.
As a leading pay-at-closing home improvement solution, Curbio has proven to be the perfect addition to the arsenal of tools that simpliHŌM provides their agents.
“The ability to offer these tools and services at no cost to the agent and no cost to the consumer beyond the work that’s done allows us to rise above local competition,” says Miku.
Curbio’s emphasis on profit-driven updates in conjunction with their speed-to-market approach allows Miku’s agents to create solutions for their buyers with maximum results.
“The biggest change (since partnering with Curbio) is less reduction in the overall value of homes,” says Miku. “Where other people are having to reduce price, we’re able to bring the seller’s house up to market standards and maximize that sales price.”
Curbio’s Fix Now, Pay When You Sell® program grants agents the ability to exceed their seller’s expectations.
“(The biggest benefit) for sellers is to maximize the value of their home without being out of pocket for those repairs at the time that the work is done,” says Miku.
In addition to increased value, Curbio’s unique approach to preferred contractors helps agents maintain existing relationships with vendors. Once a contractor is approved through Curbio’s guidelines, the program allows agents to connect their contractors with their clients.
“It’s a great way for the agents to help their contractor friends stay busy and use the people they already know, like and trust,” says Miku.
With 550 agents and counting, Miku is dedicated to expanding the firm’s reach further across the nation. Available in markets nationwide, Curbio is poised to help Miku successfully grow his organization’s footprint.
“Curbio allows us to make our agent offering simple so that we have the same service across the board,” says Miku. “That way everyone can realize those same benefits.”
With the addition of new agents and new markets, simpliHŌM agents utilize tools and programs that give them the upper hand against the competition.
“I believe that every person that’s in real estate is their own entrepreneur, so they have to leverage the tools and technology on their own in order to realize the best success for what they’re trying to achieve,” says Miku.
As Miku pushes for continued growth, simplicity within platforms becomes all the more important.
“Curbio is a simple platform for real estate professionals to plug into,” concludes Miku. “It’s everything they need to really expand their business and provide a better service from their business to their clients.”
