A decade in the making.

Trio is a financial program created by Cascadia Equity Leasing LLC - providing lease financing solutions and real estate services since 2001.

Trio home financing combines the best features of three primary platforms - residential rental, residential lease-purchase and auto leasing. Trio is based on the Equity Leasing platform, a patent-pending system offering the best of renting and owning for today's changed real estate market.

We're passionate about creating a better way for people to finance a home.

To us, this is more than a job. It's a desire to improve a way of doing business that is outdated. It is a desire to support the hopes and dreams of Americans and their evolving and more mobile way of life. Our objectives vary in size and scope but they all have one thing in common: To help people better their quality of life through prudent financial and residential decisions. Specifically we are committed to:

  • Foster neighborhood, family and job stabilization
  • Keep families in their homes and prevent foreclosures
  • Assist consumers in occupying and developers in selling typically 'for sale' housing under secure, but flexible leases
  • Take the risk out of financing housing
  • Foster an affordable homeownership‐like program for our communities
  • Finance consumers looking to or needing to bridge into a mortgage
  • Partner with local area non‐profit housing counseling agencies to deliver financial education through our leases
  • Partner with asset service providers to educate our families about how to maintain their homes
  • Deliver savings match programs and down payment credits to encourage on‐time payment
  • Bolster consumer's credit by delivering a system for their lease payments to be reported to the credit bureaus
  • Partner with qualified lending partners to assist our consumers bridge into an appropriate mortgage should they choose to purchase their home during or at the end of their lease

Thanks to Arizona State University's Stardust Center for their cooperation.
