Meet Ilona
When we rented a house before, our landlord decided to sell this house. We didn't want to move from one rented house to another rented house, and that's why we decided to find out how we can actually buy a house. - Ilona

Meet Ilona, whose remarkable journey with Requity Homes led to homeownership in just 3 months, transforming her family's dream of owning a home in Canada into reality.

A New Beginning in Canada

Originally from Ukraine, Ilona and her family moved to Canada more than two years ago, drawn by the country's reputation as the perfect place for families. With three children, they were seeking stability and opportunities in their new home country in Sault Ste Marie.

A Rent-to-Own Success

When their landlord decided to sell their rental property, Ilona began searching for alternatives to the cycle of renting. Through an online search, she discovered Requity Homes' rent-to-own program. After connecting with Amy, the owner, and having all her questions answered, the approval process took just two weeks from application to signing the agreement.

Swift Transition to Home Ownership

Within two months of approval, Ilona and her family received the keys to their new home. The spacious property provided each of their three children with their own room - a significant upgrade from their previous rental. Shortly after moving in, the family achieved permanent residency status in Canada, which accelerated their path to full ownership.

From Tenant to Owner

In an impressive timeline of just three months after moving in, Ilona and her family were able to buy back their home. The process was remarkably smooth, with Requity Homes providing support at every step. Their mortgage was approved quickly, thanks to their thorough preparation of all necessary documents.

Building a Future

For Ilona's family, the rent-to-own program offered more than just a path to homeownership - it provided stability and peace of mind. They avoided the uncertainty of multiple moves and knew from day one that they were building equity in their future home.

Advice for Newcomers

Ilona strongly recommends the rent-to-own path for other newcomers to Canada. With rising housing prices, securing a home sooner rather than later is crucial. The process's transparency, readily available information, and constant support from Requity Homes made their journey to homeownership both fast and straightforward.
