I had been denied four times because my credit was thin from being a freelancer. ShareCredit paired me with a guarantor in less than an hour. I signed my lease the next day.

Real renters. Real results.
My credit score dropped after a divorce. Every landlord said no. ShareCredit looked at my income — which was real and stable — and got me into a great apartment two weeks later.
I just graduated and had zero rental history. Mom and dad live overseas, so they couldn't co-sign. ShareCredit handled everything — I had keys in 9 days.
