The U.S. housing stock is aging rapidly
But there's an emerging group of talented, local real estate entrepreneurs who are capable of revitalizing the dated housing stock in their communities.
Some are starting to pave the way with rebab projects and critical "Missing Middle" infill development — yet they’re unsupported and their potential for scale & impact remains unfulfilled.
We’re on a mission to empower the best independent real estate entrepreneurs and infill developers to revitalize the rapidly aging U.S. housing stock.
Are you a real estate entrepreneur?
Scale your rehab & development business with Unlock. We're building software tools to automate admin tasks, streamline your back office, and supercharge growth.

The PROBLEM
Severe underbuilding over the past decade has led to a shortage of homes and a rapidly aging housing stock.
Demand is far outpacing available housing supply.

OUR MISSION
Create home inventory to fulfill the needs of modern homebuyers by unlocking high-potential older homes that require upgrades.
Our Insight
There's an emerging cohort of underutilized real estate enthusiasts who are capable of powering the revitalization of older homes.
OUR APPROACH
Our initial focus is supercharging a special group of entrepreneurial real estate professionals who truly understand the product they’re selling, the home. We want to empower them to bring their differentiated design & renovation expertise into the home shopping experience — helping homebuyers discover, buy, and transform dated properties.
