SoFi Partners with Kukun to Help Homeowners Understand the Real Cost (and Benefit) of Remodels

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SoFi today announced a new partnership with home improvement platform Kukun to offer advanced new tools to help homeowners gain a greater understanding of how much their home improvement project could cost and how it can affect the resale value of their home.

The tools will help homeowners estimate costs and returns on investment for over 28 project types that range in price from $10,000 to $300,000, including renovations and expansions. These are the first tools SoFi is offering related to its home improvement loans.

"One of the top reasons people take SoFi personal loans is for home improvement, so we want to offer people the best resources to make decisions," said Bob Buch, Vice President of Sales and Business Development at SoFi. "We're proud to be working with Kukun to bring even more tools and resources to our members that can help them achieve their financial goals."

These calculators are built by Kukun based on highly normalized and granular property condition marketplace data, in addition to normalized construction permit data (fresh and historic), as well as customer intent from the Kukun marketplace.

"Partnering with an innovative brand like SoFi was a natural extension for us," said Raf Howery, CEO of Kukun. "SoFi has customized Kukun's best in class data-set, analytics and tools. SoFi's audience stands to benefit immensely from this new capability".

SoFi offers home improvement loans from $5,000 up to $100,000 with absolutely no fees of any kind. Individuals can check their rate and get pre-qualified within minutes. To learn more about the calculators and SoFi home improvement loans, visit SoFi.
