ijaraCDC Preferred Realtor

Buying with ijaraCDC? I’m an ijaraCDC Preferred Realtor.

KO Realty has partnered with ijaraCDC (Ijara Community Development Corp.) to offer home buyers an Islamic-compliant path to owning a home, and I am an ijaraCDC Preferred Realtor. ijaraCDC arranges the financing. I represent you on the home: the search, the tours, the offer, the conditions and the closing.

How ijaraCDC’s program works, as ijaraCDC describes it:

  1. A trust is created, and the property is held in the trust.
  2. You enter a rent-to-own agreement with the trust.
  3. Each month you pay rent, and part of that rent goes towards ownership until you own 100% of the home.

ijaraCDC’s investor-led programs include buying a primary or secondary home, buying an investment property, and alternative income options such as bank-statement or investor cash-flow qualification.

Who does what

  • ijaraCDC sets the terms, reviews and approves your application, sets up the trust and the rent-to-own agreement, and explains how its program meets Islamic principles.
  • I find and tour homes that fit your budget and the program, write the offer with condition dates that leave room for ijaraCDC’s approval, negotiate, and keep ijaraCDC, your lawyer and your inspector moving to the same possession date.

Have these ready before we start

  • Photo ID for everyone who will be on the agreement.
  • Proof of income for the program you are using: pay stubs and an employment letter, or bank statements or investor cash flow for the alternative-income programs.
  • Proof of your down payment and where it came from.
  • Your monthly debts, and the areas, home type and budget you have in mind.

ijaraCDC sets its own document list, and it can change. Ask them for the current one before you apply.

Questions to ask ijaraCDC before you make an offer

  • How long does approval usually take right now, and what slows it down?
  • What does the monthly payment include: the rent, the ownership portion, property tax, insurance, condo fees?
  • Who holds title during the agreement, and who pays for repairs and maintenance?
  • What happens if the appraisal comes in below the price we agreed?
  • Can I buy out the trust early or sell before I own 100%, and what does that cost?
  • Who reviewed the structure for Islamic compliance?

How the financing changes the offer itself (condition dates, title, deposit and possession) is further down this page.

ijaraCDC sets its own terms, approves each application and explains how its program meets Islamic principles. I am a REALTOR®, not a lender or a religious advisor, so confirm the details with ijaraCDC and your own scholar before you commit.

How it works

Three simple steps

1

Tell me what you want

Share your budget, preferred areas, room needs and target move date.

2

Talk to a halal finance provider

I am a REALTOR®, not a mortgage or Islamic finance expert. I am an ijaraCDC Preferred Realtor, and I have direct contacts at Manzil and Servus Halal. I also understand how Eqraz, ASIH, ICFAL and the other major halal lenders work, so you can compare their options. You confirm what is halal for you with your own provider or scholar. I do not give religious, financial, mortgage, or legal advice.

3

Shop, tour, and buy

Once you know your numbers, I send you homes that fit. We tour the ones you like. When you find the right one, I help you write the offer and work through to closing. My services and any fees are set in a written agreement we both sign, and the terms are always open to talk about.

What halal financing means for your home search

Many families want to buy a home in a way that fits their faith. Halal financing is one way people do this. It works differently from a normal mortgage.

  • You work with a halal finance provider, not a regular bank loan.
  • The provider explains their structure, their costs, and their rules to you.
  • You decide what is right for your faith with your own provider or scholar.

I am a REALTOR®. I do not decide what is halal, and I do not give financial, mortgage, or religious advice. My job is to help you find and buy the home once your financing is sorted.

More

What changes in the offer itself

Halal financing does not only change who you borrow from. It can change how the offer is written. That part is my job, and it is where an agent who has done this before matters.

  • Condition dates need more room. Approval with a halal provider often takes longer than a bank pre-approval. I ask for a financing condition period that matches your provider's real timeline, not the standard one.
  • Some structures affect title. Depending on the model you choose, the provider may hold title or share it with you at the start. That changes how the offer is written and what your lawyer needs to see.
  • Deposit, possession, and insurance have to line up. Your provider may have its own requirements for each one. I confirm them before we write the offer, not after.

An offer that respects your financing is worth more than a fast offer that falls apart at condition removal. Your provider sets the structure. I make sure the purchase fits it.

More

Fees, rebates, and your agreement

  • My fee is fixed or negotiable, whichever works for you, and set out in a written agreement and it is always open to talk about.
  • Any buyer rebate is provided upon discussion, on a case-by-case basis and is also negotiable.
  • Everything we agree on goes into a written agreement we both sign.

No saving, purchase price or financing approval is guaranteed.
