Overall Satisfaction with Equifax Verification

Our multifamily real estate organization utilizes Equifax reports as a part of its overall application process through another third party vendor. Equifax Verification screens potential rental applicants for credit and criminal background history, and the results are then qualified with a score that assesses an overall rental profile for the applicant. Equifax is utilized across our multi-state rental portfolio on every application.
  • Screens both credit and criminal background history on one report.
  • Interfaces with our 3rd party application software vendor.
  • Is widely used across the country, so we can trust that we're working with a reputable vendor.
  • The speed at which criminal background results are received is glacial at best.
  • Support for issues is almost non-existant.
  • Recent data breaches leave some room for concern of user's privacy.
  • Accurate credit reporting
  • Accurate criminal background reporting
  • Comprehensive database of information from which to pull as industry leader in verification.
  • Ensures we have a complete resident profile to review when assessing rental applications.
  • Can handle the volume of applications we receive.
  • Helps us stay in compliance with regards to fair housing standards.

This is in conjunction with following all applicable local, state and federal fair housing regulations, which Equifax does a great job in following, as well.
