What types of projects can I do with Realm?

With Realm, you can tackle any home projects from remodels to new home construction.

Popular renovations include kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, basement finishing, attic conversions, and flooring upgrades. You can also handle electrical, plumbing, and HVAC updates, roof repairs, window and door replacements, and lighting installations.

Realm supports outdoor projects too, like landscaping, patio or deck installations, garage conversions, and pool installations. Whether you're adding an ADU, expanding your home, improving energy efficiency with solar panels or insulation, or simply upgrading your home’s siding or painting, Realm helps you plan, estimate costs, and connect with the right vendors for your needs.

Where does Realm operate?

Realm currently serves homeowners planning renovations and new builds in California and the Seattle area.

However, our free app is available to homeowners across the country, providing helpful tools and resources no matter where you live.

What does a Realm Advisor do?

A Realm Advisor acts as your personal renovation or new build guide, helping you prioritize projects that fit your goals and budget.

They’ll manage everything to help you prepare for your project, including assessing pricing and ROI. Your Advisor will create a customized project plan with renderings, pricing, and timelines, and match you with three vetted contractors. They’ll review and compare bids, negotiate on your behalf, and make sure your project aligns with your vision and budget.

Throughout the project, your Advisor is available to provide support and step in if any challenges arise, so you can enjoy a worry-free building process.

How do I match with contractors?

After discussing your project goals, budget, and timeline with your Realm Advisor, they will custom-match you with three contractors who best fit your specific needs.

Your Advisor will coordinate site visits with the contractors, allowing you to meet them and receive bids. They will then assist you in choosing the best option for your project.

Do I have to pay to use Realm?

Realm is free to use. You can access property-specific information and ROI calculations for a variety of projects in the Realm app after creating an account.

If you choose to work with an Advisor, a small deposit is required to demonstrate that you're a committed and qualified homeowner. This deposit will be refunded when you do a Realm qualified project with a contractor from Realm's network.

What can I do with Realm's app?

With Realm’s app, you can explore what your neighbors are doing through the interactive map, receive notifications about changes in your area or updates related to your home, and learn about your home equity and how to finance a project. The app also allows you to get detailed cost estimates for various renovations and create a project plan to understand overall costs.

For homeowners working on renovations or new builds with Realm, the app offers additional features like tracking project progress, viewing scheduled site visits, exploring contractor profiles, and reviewing bids as they come in. You can also access key documents such as home reports, bid comparisons, and contracts, as well as upload inspirational photos, plans, and other important documents. Plus, you can provide feedback for your Advisor and contractor directly within the app.

How is this better than a referral?

Referrals from friends can be hit or miss—they might have worked for their project, but your needs, budget, and vision are likely very different. If friend referrals worked reliably, Realm wouldn’t be in business.

At Realm, we’ve done the legwork that no casual recommendation can match. We’ve professionally vetted hundreds of contractors across a range of project types, ensuring they meet our standards by confirming licenses, permits, and customer references—steps most homeowners aren’t equipped to handle on their own.

With Realm, your Advisor will match you with three contractors tailored to you and your project’s needs. These recommendations will take into account your budget, personality, style preferences, and other important factors.

Plus, you’ll get expert guidance from your Advisor and the added protection of Reassurance by Realm, ensuring you’re never left navigating unexpected issues alone.

I already have a contractor referral. Can Realm still help me?

Yes, absolutely! Realm can provide you with additional bids to compare, ensuring you're not limited to just one option. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your project by giving you a range of bids to consider, so you can choose the one that truly fits your needs.
