SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Buying and selling a home at the same time can be a tricky
process, especially in a competitive housing market. To help
homeowners learn about one way to ease the process,
realtor.com® has added Knock's Home Swap offering to its
Seller's Marketplace. Seller's Marketplace empowers homeowners to
sell their home their way by providing information about selling
options offered by third-party providers and eligibility in their
area.
"Signing a contract to buy a new home without having to sell at
the same time can make the homebuying process simpler and far less
stressful," said realtor.com® Chief Product Officer
Rachel Morley. "There are a lot of
options available for selling a home, and by adding information
about Knock's Home Swap to Seller's Marketplace, consumers can
explore more selling options that can help streamline the process
of moving to a new home."
Knock's Home Swap allows homeowners to make a non-contingent
offer on a new home before they sell their old house on the open
market. Home Swap is currently available in 15 markets across
Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina and Texas.
"Homeownership is the American Dream. At the same time, it's
often what holds people back," said Knock Co-Founder and CEO
Sean Black. "Buying a home is
complicated, especially when you have to sell a home. The Home Swap
brings certainty, convenience and cost savings to the process,
helping a homeowner to win the home of their dreams and move on
their terms, avoiding repairs and showings. Unlike an iBuyer, Knock
isn't in the business of buying and selling homes. The consumer
works with their own agent to list and sell the old house on the
open market for the maximum sale price. We're excited to bring the
Home Swap to realtor.com®'s users and help them move
more freely."
Realtor.com® is the only national home search site
that enables consumers to compare different selling options and
determine the right fit with just a few clicks. Users simply
provide basic information about their home and Seller's Marketplace
will present them with information about available third-party
providers and options in their area. Homeowners will see
side-by-side estimates for sale price, timeline and more with no
upfront cost or commitment.
