ROI Programs of Arizona, founded by veteran builder Tim Stapp in 2013, has developed an app designed to help homeowners make better use of their underutilized assets. The concept is straightforward: users can post both unused items and improvement projects through the app, allowing licensed contractors and potential buyers to place bids within a 24-hour period. The aim is to create a faster, more structured way for property owners to match their needs with qualified professionals and interested purchasers.
How the App Works
- The process begins when a homeowner uploads photos and brief descriptions of two things — an unused asset and a planned improvement project.
- Once submitted, both listings open for a 24-hour bidding period. Contractors can bid on the remodeling lead, and buyers can bid on the asset, with both auctions starting at $250.
- At the end of that period, the highest bids are confirmed.
- The homeowner receives an email notifying them that both the top bidder for their project and the pre-qualified buyer for their asset have been secured.
Connecting All Parties Efficiently
After payments from the winning bidders clear, ROI Programs provides contact details to both sides. A joint email is then sent to all involved parties: the homeowner, contractor, and buyer, to begin coordinating the next steps.
The goal is for the contractor and buyer to collaborate in developing a proposal that balances project goals with asset value. On the third day, this proposal is presented to the homeowner for approval. Once accepted, funds are distributed according to the agreement, and by the fourth day, the project is set to begin.
An Approach Built on Experience
Founder Tim Stapp’s approach draws heavily on decades of experience in construction and real estate. A U.S. Navy Seabees veteran, Stapp entered the remodeling business after his military service, eventually launching Homes R Us Construction in Sacramento in 1994.
He later expanded into lending and real estate under the same brand. Since relocating to Arizona in 2013, he has focused on developing products that address gaps in the home improvement and asset resale markets.
His previous ventures include the Bi-Fold Screen Enclosure introduced in 2016 and Diamond Shield for Windows in 2018.
Bridging the Gap Between Assets and Improvements
According to Stapp, many property owners sit on unused or undervalued assets that could help fund desired upgrades if properly leveraged. The app offers a clear process to connect these two needs. By pairing each improvement project with a potential asset sale, the system encourages collaboration between contractors and buyers while providing homeowners a more predictable timeline for results.
