Investing in our technology is a top priority for Curbio as we look to continue modernizing home improvement to help agents and homeowners, and I believe that Darren is the perfect candidate to lead this effort," said Rick Rudman, CEO of Curbio.

With the help of Curbio's technology, projects are completed 50% faster, spend 50% fewer days on the market and sell for an average list price that is 20% higher post-renovation.

"I couldn't be more excited to join the Curbio team, a world-class group of professionals who are dedicated to modernizing an industry that has previously lacked innovation," said Stewart.
