Divvy Homes provides a rent-to-own model that helps individuals and families achieve homeownership. The process begins with clients applying for approval, after which they can select a home from Divvy's listings. Divvy purchases the chosen home and rents it to the client, with a portion of the monthly rent contributing to a future down payment. This allows clients to live in the home while saving for its purchase. Unlike traditional mortgage routes, Divvy offers a more flexible approach, making homeownership accessible to those who may not qualify for a mortgage right away. The company shares home maintenance responsibilities with tenants, handling major repairs while tenants manage everyday upkeep. When clients are ready to buy, they can use their accumulated savings for the down payment and closing costs. If they choose not to purchase, they can walk away with their savings, minus a fee. Divvy Homes aims to create a pathway to homeownership that is client-focused and adaptable.
