What is Easyknock?
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in New York, EasyKnock operates the MoveAbility platform, an institutionalized solution for residential sale-leasebacks. The company fundamentally alters the traditional real estate transaction model by purchasing homes directly from owners, who then retain the right to remain in the property as tenants. This innovative approach allows individuals to unlock the cash value of their primary residence to fund down payments on new properties or address other financial obligations without the immediate pressure of a traditional home sale. As a leader in the proptech space, EasyKnock leverages sophisticated data analytics and institutional backing to scale its operations, positioning itself as a vital intermediary in the modern housing ecosystem.
