Users assume full responsibility for decisions made based on information obtained from this platform. Links to external websites do not imply endorsement or affiliation with aVenture. Any links that provide the ability to invest in a primary or secondary transaction in a company are for convenience only and do not constitute solicitations or offers to buy or sell an investment. Investors should exercise heightened precaution and due diligence when investing in private companies, especially those not independently audited.

While we strive to provide valuable insights with objectivity and professional diligence, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided on our platform. Before making any investment decisions, you should verify the accuracy of all pertinent details for your decision.

News

EasyKnock was a real estate technology company that offered residential sale-leaseback programs under the names Sell & Stay and MoveAbility. Through these programs, a homeowner sold their property to EasyKnock, received a portion of their equity in cash, and remained in the home as a renter with an option to repurchase.

The company faced regulatory scrutiny and consumer litigation over whether its sale-leaseback arrangements functioned as unregulated loans, drawing enforcement actions from attorneys general in Massachusetts, Michigan, and Connecticut. EasyKnock announced it had ceased operations in December 2024, and servicing of its outstanding customer accounts was transferred to a third party.
