Kitchen Updates
Kitchens are one of the most important spaces for homebuyers, often making or breaking their impression of a property. A well-updated kitchen can create a lasting connection with buyers, showcasing the home’s potential and functionality.
Not every seller has the time or design acumen to tackle these updates, and not every agent wants to manage the process. That’s where Curbio comes in. As the go-to pre-listing home improvement partner for agents and their clients, we make updating kitchens simple and stress-free, handling every detail from start to finish.

As the heart of the home, the kitchen plays an important key role in attracting buyers. Most buyers are looking for move-in ready homes, so a dated kitchen can turn them away and leave a house sitting on the market. On the other hand, a newly renovated or refreshed kitchen can have many benefits.
A modernized kitchen with thoughtful updates can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that buyers find irresistible. Clean lines, modern finishes, and functional layouts help showcase the kitchen as the centerpiece of the home.
Curbio’s design experts focus on selecting timeless, quality, ready-to-install materials that are in demand and appeal to a wide range of tastes, ensuring the kitchen enhances the overall marketability of the home. Thanks to our experience with thousands of projects, we can make smart recommendations on how to approach the project to align with the seller’s goals. Curbio’s full-time team of consultants work directly with agents and their clients to help scope projects and make helpful suggestions on money-saving services, such as refacing cabinets instead of doing a full replacement. If the seller wants their listing to have a brand-new kitchen, Curbio’s team is ready to tackle a full renovation.
A Full Range of Pre-Listing Kitchen Updates
Kitchen updates don’t always require a full-scale renovation before sale. Often, simple and strategic updates can achieve the desired impact to appeal to today’s buyers.

Curbio’s expert design team and local project management team is well-versed in remodels. We will help you design the new kitchen to attract the attention of buyers and boost your listing’s allure.
