Frequently asked questions
Has EasyKnock permanently closed?
Yes. The firm's website states it has 'closed its doors' and ceased operations. Arrangements were made for continued services to existing customers, but no new business is being conducted. The exact closure date has not been publicly disclosed.
What was EasyKnock's business model?
EasyKnock offered residential sale-leaseback programs, allowing homeowners to sell their property to EasyKnock and remain as renters. The model enabled homeowners to access equity without relocating. This structure faced regulatory and consumer-protection challenges in multiple states.
Who founded or ran EasyKnock?
Publicly available sources do not confirm the current or final leadership of EasyKnock at the time of its closure. Earlier in its lifecycle, Jarred Kessler was identified as CEO and co-founder, but no leadership roster is listed on the remaining website.
Which investors backed EasyKnock?
EasyKnock raised venture funding from firms including Blumberg Capital, QED Investors, and Montage Ventures, among others. Total capital raised and valuation figures were not publicly confirmed by the firm, and no post-closure financial statements have been released.
What happens to EasyKnock's existing customers and portfolio properties?
The firm's closure notice indicates that arrangements have been made to ensure continued services for its customers. The specific legal or operational entity managing those obligations — and the disposition of any remaining property portfolio — has not been disclosed publicly.
