Knock

Bridge loan-based real estate home-buying service

Overview

Knock helps homeowners move by providing a bridge loan that lets them buy a new home before selling their current one. The Knock Bridge Loan uses the equity in the current home to fund the new home’s down payment, repairs, and moving costs while the old home is being sold. This enables buyers to make offers without contingencies on selling first, appealing to lenders and sellers. Knock partners with real estate agents and lenders to offer a coordinated service that speeds up moves and reduces risk for both sides. The company’s goal is to give homeowners financial flexibility and confidence to relocate by unlocking equity and offering reliable, supported bridge financing.
