TransUnion SmartMove tenant screening offers advanced credit screening like the advanced tenant screening tools used by large property managers

In the past, real estate agents at smaller companies and independent agents had limited options when it came to running a criminal background check and evaluating a rental credit application. Custom built solutions or membership in the rental screening solutions larger property management groups use simply weren’t cost effective. So real estate agents at smaller companies and independent agents had to rely on credit scores that lacked critical detail, incomplete criminal background checks and generic leasing recommendations that weren’t necessarily suited to their property needs.

Founded in 2008, TransUnion SmartMove changed all that. Combining powerful analytics with a comprehensive database of credit and criminal background information, SmartMove provides real estate agents like you with the same advanced technology used by the largest property management firms—all in one easy-to-use, online solution. Plus, it provides applicants with data privacy. Once you create an account, all you need to get started is the potential tenant’s email address.
