Redfin users will now have the option to redesign interior photos of homes listed by Redfin or on Bright MLS. "We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Redfin, a collaboration that echoes our deep conviction that everyone deserves a beautiful home," Roomvo CEO Pawel Rajszel said. "This partnership aligns seamlessly with Roomvo's mission to transform the way people envision and create their living spaces. This collaboration not only marks a significant milestone for Room- vo but also reinforces our dedication to making home design accessible to all, empowering homeowners to realize their dream spaces effortlessly." The feature is available for all active Redfin listings and eligible sold Redfin listings in the United States on Redfin. com and iPhone.
