Financial and real estate services company Co-Signer recently acquired Co-Signer.com, Inc., a leading residential lease assurance company that provides guaranteed rent on behalf of tenant clients to landlords, property managers, and others. Co-Signer.com’s services are fee-based, available to individuals who are able to afford rental payments on a new residence but may have no credit or poor credit.
Co-Signer.com was established as a provider of assistance to Americans whose credit scores were damaged during the 2007 housing and 2008 financial crises.
“As a result of these circumstances and other nagging financial indicators, the need to have someone cosign for a residential lease has increased and will continue. In the case of many tenants, the family and friends who would have cosigned for them a few years ago are now unable to do so,” Rebecca Eli, vice president of marketing for Co-Signer.com, stated in the press release. “We are aggressively seeking to meet this increased need for lease cosigners through our branded website, www.Co-Signer.com.”
Co-Signer is on the forefront of this new U.S. industry as it seeks to addresses the need for rent assurance, especially in light of restrictions in loan approvals nationwide. The process allows qualified individuals to purchase a lease guarantee from Co-Signer.com to satisfy the landlord’s financial and credit requirements.
“Our service replaces the traditional need to rely on family and friends to cosign on a lease with an affordable, efficient and professional service that benefits both tenant and landlord and eliminates the uncomfortable, unreliable and inconsistencies that residential co-signing by relatives and friends often produces,” said Eli. “These services are similar to those that have been a mainstay in Australia’s residential leasing industry for over the past twenty years and available in the U.S. on a limited basis for the past six years.”
Co-Signer.com conducted two years of testing on its proprietary approval screening processes and online platform and is now launching its services through multiple channels.
