Our Values in Action
At Abode, our core values shape who we are and how we work:
- Customer Empathy First – We work backward from homeowner needs, always asking: How can we make this easier and better for them?
- Hustle, Grit, and Scrappiness – We do more with less and find creative ways to make things happen. No one here says, “That’s not my job.”
- AI & Automation – We believe in using AI to build our core technology and support business function. We’re automating away operational tasks.
- Build Trust Early and Often – Homeownership is a high-stakes space. Everything we do (whether onboarding users or crafting UX) must instill trust.
