What is Easyknock?
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in New York, EasyKnock operates as an institutionalized residential sale-leaseback provider. Through its proprietary platform, MoveAbility, the company facilitates a unique transaction model where it purchases a home from a homeowner, providing them with immediate cash, while allowing the former owner to remain in the property as a tenant. This innovative approach serves as a critical financial tool for homeowners looking to unlock home equity for down payments on new properties or other financial obligations. As a leader in the proptech space, EasyKnock bridges the gap between traditional homeownership and flexible rental solutions, effectively creating a new asset class within the residential real estate market.
