How we help
Property guidance that works alongside your financing provider.
Islamic finance is designed around asset-backed transactions, transparency, shared responsibility, and the avoidance of conventional interest. We help clients connect the property search, offer terms, due diligence, appraisal, closing schedule, and potential renovation plans with the requirements of a qualified Islamic financing provider. Our role is real estate guidance and coordination; the provider determines eligibility, pricing, documentation, and the structure offered.
Search with the financing in mind
Evaluate property type, condominium requirements, condition, appraisal risk, association health, taxes, and timing before making an offer.
Coordinate the transaction
Align the buyer, attorney, financing provider, seller, inspector, appraiser, and closing team around the chosen structure and deadlines.
Plan beyond closing
Consider renovation scope, reserves, carrying costs, resale flexibility, and long-term ownership goals as part of the purchase decision.
Our approach
Bring the property and financing conversations together early.
Define your goals
We clarify the home or investment you are seeking, your budget, preferred communities, timing, and ownership priorities.
Confirm provider requirements
Before an offer, you work with a qualified Islamic finance provider to understand available structures, qualification standards, costs, documentation, and property restrictions.
Evaluate and coordinate
We assess suitable properties and coordinate the real estate milestones with your provider and professional advisers through closing.
Common questions
What clients ask us.
What Islamic financing structures may be available?
Offerings vary by provider. Common structures may include murabaha, in which a provider purchases and resells an asset at an agreed price; ijara, a lease-based arrangement; and diminishing musharaka, a declining co-ownership structure. Ask the provider and a qualified scholar or adviser to review the actual documents.
Does 360 Chicago Realty provide financing or religious rulings?
No. We provide real estate consulting, property representation, and transaction coordination. Financing approval and terms come from the financing provider, and questions about Sharia compliance should be reviewed with a qualified Islamic scholar or adviser.
When should I speak with an Islamic finance provider?
Ideally before beginning a serious property search. Early qualification helps establish a realistic budget and identify any property, appraisal, contract, or closing requirements that should shape the search.
