What Customers Are Saying

Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Houston.

I have been dealing with this location for a few years. Robert is always a pleasure to speak with. I am very pleased with my purchases and experiences I have experienced here. I would recommend them to all my family friends.

Shelley Clark

They helped me. I'm so grateful. It didn't take long for me to get approved for financing and my monthly rate is low

Latarshia Nunn

Everyone there has great customer service

Carlette Dorsey
Buddy's Home Furnishings

My son returned from college so I need a mattress and frame. My sister told me about Vantage Sales and she was correct! Great products and prices with great options to payoff or own your furniture faster. Delivery and setup was great. Forget the big chains who charge you 5 times the actual price for lease to own. Vantage Sales has the best price and doesn't charge high interest rates making payoff astronomical.

The employees at Vantage are excellent. They always talks to you and treats you with respect. They goes out of their way to make sure that you are happy with their service
