Knack Gifting Solution Plugs into the Moxi Cloud Open Platform
March 27, 2018 – Seattle, WA – MoxiWorks, the real estate industry’s first true open platform, has added a new gifting service to their existing options available in the Moxi Cloud. KNACKSHOPS.COM joins the other 40+ partners on the Moxi Cloud open platform as a preferred brokerage solution, giving agents more ability to customize their client gifts.
“We’re looking forward to working with MoxiWorks and helping agents with customized gifts. We’ve seen firsthand how valuable it is to be able to give your clients something meaningful at the conclusion of your working relationship–not only does it leave them with a positive impression of you and the experience you’ve shared, but it serves as an additional touchpoint for your brand,” says Knack CEO and founder Laura Jennings. “A thoughtful gift can go a long way toward celebrating a special occasion and encouraging clients to contact you next time they need your services.”
MoxiWorks often welcomes new best-in-class tools and services to the Moxi Cloud and encourages their brokerage clients to integrate their existing ones they already know and love. Part owner and client of MoxiWorks, Windermere Real Estate, is the brokerage that brought Knack to the attention of the growing open platform.
“We’re excited to add Knack to the cloud. Giving gifts and in doing so, staying in touch with your sphere is crucial for agents. Knack is special in that it allows the agent to customize a gift set or build one from scratch, and have it delivered in beautiful packaging to their clients. We want brokerages and agents to have choice, and this helps to accomplish that,” said Kylah Searing, Director of Moxi Cloud Partnerships and Integrations at MoxiWorks. “It was great having the introduction to Knack come from Windermere. Since they already use and love this service, it made the decision to add them to the cloud an easy one.”
The integration to the Moxi Cloud includes SSO (single-sign-on), meaning agents have one less login to remember. The gifts are easily curated and if agents need help with inspiration, they can speak to an expert concierge. These one-on-one consultations help agents create gifts that perfectly capture the relationships they share with their clients, and celebrate special occasions.
“KNACKSHOPS.COM offers elegant and modern gifting options for the agents who want a more customized gift option for their sphere. They’ve been great to work with and this partnership will allow us to provide our clients with another unique gift-giving solution,” said Mike McHenry, VP of Partnerships and Integrations.
The Seattle-based gifting company does more than just curate beautiful gifts; they’re passionate about giving back to the community as well. Knack partners with merchants who support a wide range of causes, and donates a percentage of their sales to philanthropic causes as well. This means for Windermere, agents can give, and give back: Knack donates five percent of each purchase made by a Windermere agent to the much-admired Windermere Foundation.

MoxiWorks Technology Startup Welcomes Industry Veterans
March 14, 2018 – Seattle, WA – MoxiWorks, real estate technology startup, has gone from the little engine that could, to a full-fledged open platform real estate technology solution. In the past five years alone, they’ve quadrupled their revenues, doubled their headcount, and doubled their square footage. To keep the momentum going, MoxiWorks has recently added two high caliber execs to their fold, welcoming Jim Tarte as CFO and Marc Chouaniere as the new VP of Marketing.
Chouaniere comes with over 20 years of management experience and a diverse background that includes renowned companies such as Microsoft, Intellectual Ventures, Vertafore and Icertis. He is known for his corporate marketing expertise and brand growth. Tarte is a CPA and a dynamic finance professional with over 25 years of experience in public and private accounting with an emphasis on high tech, e-commerce and real estate companies experiencing high revenue growth. Previous companies include Scout Media, Prepared Response, X10 Wireless, CFO Selections and Moss Adams.
York Baur, CEO of MoxiWorks weighed in on his excitement for the additions to the Moxi family, saying, “We’re honored to have industry veterans that are qualified to work anywhere in tech choose us to practice their craft. Adding two executives of this caliber with the range and depth of experience that they have is not only exciting, but a necessary step for where we want to be tomorrow.”
Five years ago, MoxiWorks had one brokerage client with 6,500 agents. Today, they have 55 brokerage clients with well over than 100,000 agents on their open platform known as the Moxi Cloud. They aim to provide the best-in-class tools and services to make agents more productive, in turn making brokerages more profitable.
“When looking for my next challenge I focused on companies with the combination of strong executive leadership, dynamic culture, and the best of breed in their market. MoxiWorks is all that and more. The passion around doing great work, driving the best for the customer, and wonderful collaboration is infectious. I have never felt more welcomed,” said Marc Chouaniere, now VP of Marketing at MoxiWorks.
“I worked with MoxiWorks from 2013-2014 as a part time CFO contractor and when the opportunity for a full-time position came about at the beginning of 2018, it wasn’t a question of ‘if’, but rather ‘when can I start.’ What made the decision simple was the culture of the company and the team in place driving the success of the product. It is truly exciting to be given the opportunity to scale the organization and drive operational efficiencies.
MoxiWorks now has over 75 employees and is excited for the further growth and goal-hitting in the 2018 year. Baur added, “Doubling our headcount, quadrupling revenue, and getting our own floor in the building was necessary to get us to where we are now. We’ve been able to hit these goals while keeping the startup culture, which is a variable that shouldn’t be overlooked. I’m immensely proud of everyone at MoxiWorks and look forward to another year of growth.”
