About Us

Equity Now is a privately owned and operated New Zealand-based company specialising in helping Kiwis access the equity in their homes before the sale settles.

We provide the freedom to act on opportunities without being restricted by big corporate banks. Our dedicated team, led by Karen Jackson, is here to help.

Karen Jackson - Director

With over 30 years of experience in the finance industry, Karen has developed a deep expertise in creating financial solutions that deliver real results. She is passionate about helping homeowners—whether by maximizing returns from the sale of their property or leveraging home equity to achieve their goals.

Karen founded List Now after identifying a critical gap in the market: homeowners needed more flexibility in how they financed essential marketing, staging, and renovations to secure the best possible sale price. Instead of relying on traditional credit-based solutions, she sourced a smarter, more accessible payment gateway that empowers homeowners to choose how they fund these crucial expenses.  Proudly, List Now has been part of the real estate industry for 10 years. 

More recently, Karen has transitioned to proudly leading Equity Now, assisting homeowners in accessing their equity before their property sells. Her innovative approach has enabled New Zealand homeowners to access their equity for a variety of purposes, including purchasing additional property, funding travel, consolidating debt, or achieving other personal and financial goals.

Beyond her work in finance, Karen is a dedicated marathon runner, constantly training for her next challenge. Whether in business or in her personal pursuits, she brings the same drive, determination, and strategic mindset to everything she does.
