Requirements to Be A Guarantor


  • Most lenders require the guarantor to be an immediate family member of the borrower, such as a parent, sibling, or spouse.

  • The guarantor must have a stable financial situation and sufficient equity in their property to secure the loan.

  • The guarantor’s credit history must be excellent.

  • The guarantor must agree to offer a portion of the equity in their own property as additional collateral for the borrower's loan by free will. 

Our guarantor must complete the lender's guarantor form for all of these requirements to be evaluated.
