Notable, a rapidly growing real estate financing leader, has secured $6 million in Series A funding to expand its innovative pay-at-close solution for home sale preparation. The round was led by W. R. Berkley Corporation, a major player in insurance and financial services, with additional backing from Second Century Ventures, the strategic investment arm of the National Association of REALTORS. As part of the deal, Clare Tokheim from W. R. Berkley will join Notable’s Board of Directors, bringing further expertise to the company’s growth strategy.
Every year, homeowners in the U.S. spend roughly $75 billion preparing their properties for sale. Yet many sellers hesitate to invest in improvements due to the upfront costs, even though buyers consistently rank move-in readiness as their top priority. This disconnect creates a challenge for real estate agents, who often find themselves stuck between sellers unwilling to spend and buyers unwilling to compromise. Homes that aren’t properly prepared tend to linger on the market or sell for less than they could.
Notable addresses this issue by offering sellers a line of credit that’s repaid at closing, removing the financial barrier to home improvements. The company has partnered with over 100 leading brokerages—including Compass, Redfin, and The Agency—and has already helped more than 35,000 homeowners unlock over $1 billion in credit. These white-label financing programs have become a powerful tool for agents, enabling them to help clients present their homes in the best possible light. The results speak for themselves: homes prepared with Notable sell 31% faster and command prices that are 9% higher than market averages.
The new funding will support Notable’s continued expansion across its growing network of agents and service professionals. It will also fuel the development of new products aimed at supporting homeowners beyond the sale, extending Notable’s value throughout the entire ownership journey.
Despite broader challenges in the real estate market, Notable has grown its agent footprint by more than 400% in the past year and is poised to accelerate that growth into 2026. With strong investor backing and a clear value proposition, Notable is redefining how sellers prepare their homes—and how agents deliver results.
