Get ready for unfiltered, full-strength honesty about what is truly working

Now to our hosts, Tim and Julie Harris.

We're joined today by Raff Howrie, the CEO and founder of Kukoon. Raff started Kukun with the mission to transform the home remodeling industry from an offline, fragmented, and frustrating undertaking to an online, modern, and user-friendly experience.

His early career began with an interest in pursuing work as an architect before going on

to work in the technology sector.

In his personal life, Rath bought and renovated old homes as a hobby throughout the years,

which allowed him to learn the secrets of the renovation trade.

A conversation with a real estate agent and friend triggered the concept for cocoon.

His goal was to take away the anxieties associated with home renovation

and bring transparency to the process.

Now, let's welcome Raff to the call as we join our host, Tim Harris. So listeners, this was an interesting opportunity for us to

speak with someone who has really kind of been there, done that, but from a different perspective

than our usual guess. You know, you guys know that Julie and I sold real estate, all that, but from a different perspective than our usual guess, you know,

you guys know that Julie and I sold real estate, all of you, 99% of you, 137,000 of you that

listen on a regular basis, you guys are actively selling real estate as well.

One of the challenges that we always had when we sold real estate was that you'd walk into a house,

the buyer would like the house, and then, you know, they would get overwhelmed because maybe they wanted to do a room addition or a kitchen remodel or things like that, and sometimes that would lose the sale.

And the flip side is also true, is that you would have a walk into a listing appointment, an older neighborhood, and the house needed some work, and there's, you know, how much is the kitchen that needs, that's

original 1950s? You know, how much is that going to cost to remodel? And so there was no transparency.
