How Does Rent-to-Own with Requity Homes Work?

Rent to own lets you live in a home now while working toward buying it later. Each month, a portion of your payment is saved as credits. You get the option, not the obligation, to purchase the home at a set price throughout the three-year standard rent-to-own term.

With Requity Homes, you choose the home you want, Requity buys it for you, and you pay rent that's in-line with home carrying costs plus a fixed savings amount. You can buy the home back anytime at the guaranteed price, or walk away and keep your savings based on the program rules.

Real Canadians Finding Their Way Home.

Even though we were financially qualified, the bank wouldn’t approve our mortgage because I wasn’t yet working in Alberta. Requity Homes offered us a rent-to-own solution, stepped in with cash offers during bidding, and handled everything virtually while we were still in Ontario. In the end, they helped us secure our first home in Edmonton—something we genuinely couldn’t have done without them."

I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I am incredibly grateful that my husband contacted Requity Homes. At first, I was skeptical—it seemed too good to be true—but Requity Homes made it possible for us, immigrants like us, to own our first home in Canada when banks wouldn’t. Ms. Amy Ding was incredibly accommodating and always there whenever we had questions, no matter the time of day. She is truly dedicated to helping immigrants and deeply committed to her clients. Their partner realtor, Ms. Tracey, was patient, kind, and guided us in finding our dream home. Requity Homes helped make our dream of homeownership a reality, and we are forever grateful to the entire team."

Requity Homes is the best decision that we've ever made. We started the rent-to-own program in September 2021, and 16 months after we are buying back the house. This was possible because Amy and her professionalism and help. I totally recommend this program and especially Requity Homes to all my friends and all people who have trouble obtaining a mortgage, but has as a goal to buy a house."
