You’re a property manager stuck pulling records from Excel, emailing city offices, and searching public databases for every applicant. The manual checks eat up hours and leave you worried about missing bankruptcies or unpaid taxes. Every week, you’re buried in paperwork instead of helping tenants or growing your portfolio.

An AI agent that verifies property applicants by checking ownership, bankruptcies, liens, arrest records, and unpaid taxes, then delivers a clear summary report.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In residential property management, leasing coordinators and managers spend hours each week digging through county assessor portals, court databases, and tax records to vet applicants. The process is slow, error-prone, and often requires tracking details in Excel or Google Sheets. Every missed red flag—like a hidden lien or recent bankruptcy—can lead to costly mistakes. The time spent on these checks means less attention for tenants and property upkeep.
