OUR MISSION
Helping Homeowners Unlock Financial Freedom
Our residential sale-leaseback solutions help more people convert their home equity into cash, giving them a flexible, quick solution for their financial needs while staying in the homes they love.
At EasyKnock
our innovative residential sale-leaseback solutions are solving real problems for American homeowners.
Headquartered in New York City and founded in 2016, EasyKnock is a first-of-its-kind real estate technology company with over 120 employees nationwide working to help homeowners unlock their financial freedom.
While owning a home has long been accepted as a core component of the “American dream,” in today’s economic climate where debt continues to rise and homeownership costs are surging, this dream can seem more like a nightmare.
EasyKnock’s residential sale-leaseback programs were designed to provide liquidity, flexibility, and control to over 15% of Americans whose credit score makes them unable to access their home equity through a conventional mortgage.1
With the acquisition of Ribbon’s assets, EasyKnock is now able to provide more opportunities for buyers to land their dream home with cash-backed offers.
“Our customers have worked hard to build their equity, and with our sale-leaseback programs, we make accessing it easier than ever.”
