Company[]
Guidance Financial Group’s founder and Chairman Dr. Mohammad Hammour led a group to form Guidance Residential and embarked upon a multimillion-dollar R&D project to launch a Shariah-compliant home financing program for consumers in the United States. The project engaged 18 law firms and six world-renowned Islamic Finance Scholars to devise an authentic home ownership model compliant with both American and Islamic legal systems. After three years of research and development, Guidance Residential successfully designed their signature Declining Balance Co-ownership Program and launched Shariah-compliant home financing operations in 3 states. Freddie Mac agreed to cooperate with Guidance Residential as an investor to provide liquidity.
