As a mom-and-pop operator, stepping back from the day-to-day grind of managing rental properties felt like a daunting step, but working with Flock Homes made the entire transition remarkably smooth. The team was incredibly helpful from day one, taking the time to explain the process clearly, answer every question, and keep everything completely transparent. What made the experience truly great was their efficiency and honesty—the valuation and underwriting were straightforward, with no unexpected surprises or typical real estate friction. They respected our years of hard work, honored every timeline, and gave us a seamless way to step away from active landlording while keeping our equity working for us. I can't recommend Flock Homes enough to any property owner looking for a fair, stress-free experience.

am writing this to warn anybody who is…
am writing this to warn anybody who is thinking about renting from this company or having any dealings with this company this company bought my landlord's home a year ago since then the structure of the home has began to shift meaning that the entire home we live in is shifting the walls are cracking, literally being pulled apart. The ceiling is falling out of the house. All of the windows are separating from the walls, meaning that we have a severe bug infestation not to mention the mold that is currently present in the home that has been making me violently ill. We are living in a home that they wouldn't allow dogs to live in and you know what they told us, despite the fact that the ceiling is literally days away from falling out of the basement and I have my three children living here that they just couldn't release the last three months of rent that was paid To the original landlord for the last three months of rent, but due to them being in breach of contract, that money should've been returned to us, but they continue to force us to live in inhabitable and unsafe conditions to protect their bottom line so I beg you please this has been going on for a year. I was going to attach photos because the photos are going to speak much louder than anything I have to say but it won't let me. They don't care about their tenants they care more about their bottom line than they do about another human beings, safety and health please I beg you do not do business with this company

I was very impressed by the caliber of the reps. Very professional, super helpful, and felt they were genuinely looking at my best interests. Bailey went above and beyond. Highly recommend working with them and see if they serve your market.
Staff has been professional and very caring. I appreciate the no -push approach. They
Repeatedly answered questions until I clearly understood what I needed to know. They went the 2nd and 3rd mile to resolve difficult issues. For us, this has been a very good experience.
So far, so good. Great team to work with. Kept me informed during the entire process, answered all my questions. Process was completed smoothly and in very timely manner.

Don't sell property before chatting with Flock Homes!
What a resource for anyone selling a property and searching for non-conventional options to save money, invest well and deffer capital gains. My fortune in contacting Flock Homes resulted in deferring 10s of thousands of dollars in capital gains. For no charge and the intent to assist me, Flock Homes educated me on the 1031 option which allows me to defer my capital gains when selling one property and buying a like property within a set timeframe. Flock then referred me to a qualified intermediary partner -- also recommended: Deferred.com -- which handled the transaction. All this at no charge -- just the benefit of helping a potential future customer, a opportunity to build visibility and reputation, and an effort to foster relationships with partners. Seriously, don't sell your home before chatting with Flock Homes. Highly recommended. Shout out to Bailey and Arthur.

Bailey has been a great sounding board…
Bailey has been a great sounding board against all the Agent Brokers I have been talking to. Having her calm review of different 1031 property types and review the pros and cons of each has allowed me to do what is best for my retirement strategy. I truly appreciate her input and calls. She has asked me questions about my selections so I would remember to focus on the hard issues not the warm fussy feelings.

Flock is the best option for landlords…
Flock is the best option for landlords looking to exit the rental business. They provided a 721 Exchange that allowed me to defer capital gains taxes which was a huge advantage. The entire experience from the first day I contacted Flock was seamless, and they were very professional and kept me informed during the entire process. If you are looking to exit from being a landlord, my recommendation is to contact Flock Homes.
The Flock team is competent, helpful and professional.
Everyone we have met or spoken with at Flock has been very kind, helpful and professional. Our transaction was a little more complicated than some due to our legal ownership structure. The Flock people patiently worked through the structure with us to assure compliance to IRS rules, etc. Unfortunately, the title company/notary were not as familiar with the situation/structure at closing. Happily, our Flock connections responded instantly to questions and concerns via telephone and our transaction was concluded successfully. Flock follow up has also been great. Over communication is "just right" communication and Flock communicates a lot. Our transition contact followed up the day of closing and twice over the weekend following closing to be sure everything was to our satisfaction. One week later, the head of customer service called to ask if we were satisfied and what could they do to be better. We are strongly considering contributing more of our properties to Flock very soon.

Flock's Investor Portal Provides A Smooth & Efficient Real Estate Transaction
The investor portals used by Flock and its title company make the real estate contribution transaction smooth and efficient. The presentation of financial and investment information on Flock's website is comprehensive and logically arranged. All of my questions were promptly addressed.
Everyone I worked with throughout the sale of my home to Flock was very thoughtful and professional. The culture of the company is strong and everyone I worked with embodies that culture.
Excellent communication, fair offer for my property. Carefully thought-out process. Could not find a better option for retaining the value of my real estate investment without a big tax bill.

All the staff was fantastic
All the staff was fantastic, transparent and patiently answered all of my questions during the due diligence phase. Chad especially was wonderful because he even drove down from Denver to Colorado Springs to have a meeting over coffee to discuss the investment opportunity with Flockhomes and answer questions. I did contribute one property and maybe doing more very soon! There were no surprises or questions they could not answer! I have not been able to find a better exit strategy for residential real estate investors up to four units and I am a long time actively licensed employing real estate broker here in Colorado for 32+ years and have also been a residential real estate investor since 1988. There are true tax advantages with this unique platform.

Great solution for retiring as a landlord
"Retiring" from being a landlord is not easy without incurring a large tax burden, but Flock enables this through an exchange that allows you to still profit from the value of your property - but in a much more diversified way - without the tax issues. They are very transparent throughout the process of the exchange, and valued the property fairly
The team at Flock was very transparent with their structure and process. They have thought through the issues and risks and have addressed them through comprehensive due diligence materials as well as appropriate structuring.
Contributing my home was a seemless experience.
This was the answer for us to retire from rental real estate management
Flock Homes has of lot of competent and very approachable people who walked us through the 721 exchange and how it would work. There were no hesitations to answer any questions and we got to speak to several upper managers in the company, including the CEO. They fostered complete transparency in their process and they demonstrated a great strategy to grow safely the capital that we brought to them. They spent a lot of time and detail going over the inspections of the properties we exchanged and gave us sound reasoning for the valuations that were given for them. Although we were skeptical at first, they were able to develop a deep trust with us which convinced us to make this very important financial decision. They treated us with respect and gave us complete confidence that the exchange would move smoothly and that we would stay invested in the SFH market but without the hassle of tenant management. Since the exchange, we have been receiving quarterly cash flow and operating results in a very transparent way. The passion and integrity that this organization has showed us has given us complete confidence that this was the right step for us to exit from being landlords. Flock Homes offers an amazing solution for anyone who wants to stay invested, but not have the day-to-day hassle of property management.

We found Flock to be honest and transparent
We found everyone at Flock to be open, honest, and transparent. The entire staff, from our initial contact with Jeanette, to the founder, Ari, gave us any information that we needed to make an informed decision. We had our financial advisor, attorney, and CPA all interact with Flock and get information that was readily shared in order to help us make our decision to exchange our rental homes into the Flock family. We have been happy with the appreciation of our portfolio and also the after care that we have received from Danielle and Jacob. The only item that we felt was not explained in detail was the "top up" fee. Also the closing was a little stressful as we were trying to close on December 31st and a closing agent was not scheduled until the last minute. Other than that, we appreciate the exceptional communication that we receive from Flock and are convinced what this was a sound investment for us.
As a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and former Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with 30+ years as a real estate investor, I found that a Flock Homes is the best solution for achieving true real estate retirement while maintaining the full stepped-up basis upon death.*
The 721 Exchange into Flock means you:
• Simplify: Delegate property management, repairs, and all tenant issues.
• Eliminate the 1031 Treadmill: No need to find new replacement properties.
• Maintain Tax Deferral: Benefit from a stepped up basis at death.*
• Reduce Risk: Through geographical diversification, professional management, and economies of scale.
Unfortunately, I discovered Flock about the "7th inning" of my planned exit strategy from direct real estate investment.
Before finding Flock, I used every available exit ramp: outright sales (triggering taxes), diversifying through numerous Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), and Opportunity Zone (OZ) investments. While all got me away from dealing with tenants, they introduced their own headaches and risks.
ESCAPING THE 1031 EXCHANGE TREADMILL
The problem with DSTs is the continuous 1031 exchange requirement every 3 to 7 years. This forces the investor back onto a stressful "exchange treadmill," often when markets, interest rates, and property valuations are dramatically different, making future investment decisions less desirable and more difficult. The Ten Year forecasts tend to be guesswork, with an optimistic bias.
Opportunity Zone (OZ) funds have their place, but they mandate a ten-year holding period and typically offer several years with no cash flow—a difficult proposition for those wanting cash flow during retirement.
FLOCK'S STRATEGY: MATCHING THE MARKET, NOT MAXIMIZING RETURN THROUGH LEVERAGE AND CONTINUOUS TURNOVER.
Flock’s strategy is simple and perfectly aligned with the passive retirement mindset. Their goal is not to maximize returns through high leverage (which inherently increases risk). Instead, Flock aims to match the market returns(historically around 8-10% over the long run) while providing relatively stable quarterly cash flow in line with prevailing market rents.
If your goal is to fully retire from the hassles of ownership, secure long-term generational wealth, and receive quarterly cash flow, Flock is, in my professional opinion, the best long-term asset management solution for those who own rental properties (up to 4 units) that meet Flock’s quality standards, in areas where Flock operates (currently 17 states).
*Nothing is perfect. There is still political risk. Congress actually eliminated the stepped up basis in 1976, but repealed it before it was to take effect in 1980. Since then, the idea has been discussed and endorsed numerous times, but so far the stepped up basis at death has survived.
Provides the taxation benefit of a "like kind exchange" without you having to discover the exchange on your own.
Compared to a "buy and flip" type buyer, they work to establish fair market value and once you agree with them they move swiftly. They hire their own appraiser and inspector and pay the fees.
The onboarding team is professional and polite. They move swiftly without being pushy.
I did a TON of due diligence because this transaction amounted to roughly 1/4 of our nest egg. They audit themselves as much or more frequently than any non-public company I've ever known about.
Very thorough and transparent process. It has been a pretty seamless transition. And if you no longer want to deal with the daily grind of rentals, this is the way to go!
