What they do

Problem

Traditional real estate transactions are illiquid and expensive, limiting sellers’ flexibility and preventing many investors from accessing property ownership.

Solution

Lofty is an online marketplace that fractionalizes real estate equity into small units so sellers can sell portions of properties and investors can buy stakes starting at $50.

Who it's for

Homeowners and property sellers seeking flexible liquidity, and retail investors wanting fractional access to individual real estate deals.
