About Requity Homes
Millions of Canadians make consistent monthly rent payments and have the cash flow to afford a home but still cannot qualify for a mortgage. They might be newcomers lacking Canadian credit history, small business owners and gig economy workers facing challenges in getting their income recognized, or families with fair credit scores. Regardless of their situation, they find themselves unable to access homeownership via traditional channels, leaving many Canadians frustrated. Requity Homes is pioneering a modernized rent-to-own program that is breaking down the barriers to homeownership. Traditionally, Canadians were restricted to either being homeowners or renters. Requity Homes introduces a third option, allowing Canadians to rent and save for their dream homes with the option to purchase at a guaranteed price.
At Requity Homes, we believe in the power of homeownership. Owning a home is so much more than just having a roof over your head. It's a place to call your own, to raise a family, and to build wealth.
