Notable Secures $6M Series A Funding to Enhance Home Selling Experience
In a significant development aimed at streamlining the home selling process, Notable has announced the successful completion of a $6 million Series A funding round. This investment, led by W. R. Berkley Corporation, with participation from Second Century Ventures, positions Notable as a leader in the realm of pay-at-close financing for home sale preparation. Clare Tokheim from Berkley Corporation is set to join Notable's Board of Directors, which adds further expertise to the company's strategic direction.
Every year in the United States, homeowners invest a staggering $75 billion in preparing their properties for sale. However, many sellers often find themselves postponing key improvements due to the burden of upfront costs. Concurrently, buyers have indicated that a move-in ready property is their top priority. This presents a unique challenge for real estate agents, who must navigate the tension where listings risk languishing on the market or sellers potentially leaving money on the table.
To tackle this challenge, Notable provides a hassle-free line of credit that sellers can repay at the closing of their property sale. Through collaborations with leading brokerage firms — including Compass, Redfin, and The Agency — Notable has empowered over 35,000 homeowners, unlocking more than $1 billion in credit to elevate their homes’ market value. This innovative approach has emerged as a crucial asset for real estate agents, enabling their clients to present their properties in the most appealing manner possible. Remarkably, homes enhanced with Notable's financial support are sold an average of 31% faster and for 9% more than typical market benchmarks.
Austin Lane, CEO and co-founder of Notable, remarked, "We’re creating the infrastructure for a modern, optimized real estate transaction. Buyers want move-in ready homes, and agents need an effective solution to secure listings and deliver results. Notable provides a straightforward method for achieving these objectives. We are excited to welcome W. R. Berkley Corporation as our partner and look forward to Clare’s contributions on our board."
The capital infusion from this funding round is set to accelerate Notable's growth within its expanding network of agents and service professionals. The company also plans to advance the development of homeowner-targeted financial products that extend Notable’s impact beyond mere transactions, supporting customers at all stages of property ownership.
Clare Tokheim, representative of W. R. Berkley Corporation, expressed confidence in Notable's vision, stating, "Notable embodies the type of business we are eager to support—one with genuine adoption, embedded distribution, and a sustainable scaling strategy. They are developing something with lasting relevance, and we’re thrilled to participate in this journey."
Second Century Ventures, the strategic investment arm of the National Association of REALTORS®, brings additional industry savvy to the table, with Tyler Thompson, Managing Partner, highlighting that “providing pay-at-close financing has quickly become essential for top agents. Notable is clearly setting the standard in this space.”
Despite facing broader challenges in the real estate landscape, Notable has managed to expand its agent partnerships by over 400% within the last year, positioning it to further accelerate this growth trajectory into 2026.
