Buyers make a non-contingent offer on their new construction home, so a slow local market doesn't cost you a sale.
Knock for Homebuilders
Build with confidence!
The Knock Bridge Loan™ lets buyers sign non-contingent contracts on your new construction homes — before their current home sells! More contracts, more certainty, fewer fallouts.
No fees for builders · Works with your preferred or in-house lender
Buy Before You Sell
The Knock Bridge Loan™ removes the one contingency that stalls your build schedule — a buyer's unsold home.

More contracts signed
Close homes faster
Convert contingencies into closings on your timeline, so you keep inventory moving.
Fewer fallouts
A Knock purchase offer eliminates the cancellation uncertainty of contingent offers.
Flexible financing
Buyers keep their own lender, or use yours. Knock works alongside either — no exclusivity required.

How does it work?
From reservation to move-in, without a contingency in the way
- Your buyer applies for a Knock Bridge Loan, sized to the equity in their current home.
- They sign a non-contingent contract to secure their new-construction home.
- They remove their sale contingency with a purchase offer from a Knock affiliate¹ for a 2.25% fee.
- No interest is charged on the bridge loan while their current home sells, as long as it's repaid by the due date.²
- Their agent lists the current home for top dollar — buyers keep their own lender, or use yours.
- If their current home hasn't sold in 6 months, Knock buys it at an agreed price. Your build schedule stays on track either way.
¹ The Knock Purchase Offer is provided by our affiliate, Knock Property 1, LLC. Knock Property 1, LLC charges a contract fee based on the home's listing price. The fee is the same whether the seller pays cash for their next home, finances through any lender, or is not buying another home at all. The seller may cancel the KPO contract at any time before closing; cancellation releases the seller from the obligation to sell to Knock Property 1, LLC but does not refund the contract fee.
² No interest accrues on the Knock Bridge Loan™ if the loan is repaid in full by its due date. The loan due date and any fees or interest that may apply if it is not repaid when due vary by state and are set out in the loan documents. Loan amounts up to $1,000,000 are subject to eligibility, equity in the departing residence, and underwriting approval. All loans subject to credit approval.
We do things better
What's the catch?
There's no catch for your community — and we're upfront about what your buyer pays. The bridge loan charges no interest as long as it's repaid by the due date.² If your buyer uses the optional Knock Purchase Offer, our affiliate charges a 2.25% contract fee.¹ What you won't find is a hidden agenda: the purchase offer is what lets your buyer sign today instead of waiting on the market, but our goal is still to help them get top dollar for their current home on the open market, not to own it ourselves.
We have earned a reputation of trust and reliability in the industry.
