Landed is growing! It has just raised its Series B! Join us on our mission to address wealth inequality by helping essential professionals buy homes and build financial security near the communities they serve. Landed supports essential professionals on the path to homeownership by providing a personalized team that includes a partner agent and a Landed homebuying expert. We help families navigate all of their options for buying a home, including our own flagship shared equity down payment program. Our team also provides free home buying education and guidance as well as competitive offer reviews for essential professionals.

Helping great essential professionals become homeowners and build wealth not only addresses wealth inequality but also strengthens communities. That's why our down payment program is financially supported by organizations like the Chan Zuckerberg Foundation, TIAA and Zoma Capital who share our commitment to helping educators live near the communities they serve. Press coverage of our work can be found in The New York Times, Forbes, NPR, and The Wall Street Journal.
