How Findigs Makes Tenant Screening Smarter — and Why That Matters for Property Owners
What is Findigs, and how does it help CrossView Property Management improve the tenant screening process?
Findigs is an automated screening platform that helps property managers verify tenant identity, detect fraud, and make faster, smarter leasing decisions. At CrossView Property Management, it's a key part of how we protect your investment while creating a fair and efficient rental process that prioritizes both compliance and performance.
Why Tenant Screening Matters
Tenant screening is one of the most critical components of property management. When done right, it acts as a strong line of defense against costly problems. At CrossView, we know that the best way to protect your property and ensure a stable cash flow is by placing the right tenant from the very beginning.
A strong screening process helps:
Minimize vacancy losses: Placing the right tenant quickly reduces the amount of time your property sits empty.
Avoid costly evictions: Evictions cost thousands and take months. Screening helps identify reliable, long-term renters.
Prevent property damage: Tenants with a track record of respect for rentals are more likely to take care of your asset.
Maintain community standards: Good screening supports a safer, more respectful tenant environment.
Ensure legal compliance: Consistency in tenant screening helps reduce the risk of fair housing violations.
But traditional tenant screening methods—relying on manual document collection and basic credit/background checks—can be time-consuming, error-prone, and easy for fraudulent applicants to manipulate. That's why we've integrated Findigs.
What Makes Findigs a Game-Changer
Findigs doesn’t just streamline screening; it transforms how we approach the entire leasing process. Here's how it gives CrossView an edge:
1. End-to-End Automation
From the moment a renter applies, Findigs handles:
Application intake
Document collection
Identity and income verification
Fraud detection
Decision recommendations
This means fewer manual tasks for our team and faster turnaround times for applicants — which keeps your units filled.
2. Bank-Level Identity Verification
Using biometric verification and financial account linking, Findigs ensures every applicant is who they say they are. It flags synthetic identities and tampered documents that traditional tools often miss.
3. Real Income, Real Time
Instead of relying on potentially fake paystubs, Findigs links directly to an applicant's bank or payroll provider to confirm income and employment in real time. That gives us a clear picture of whether a renter can truly afford the rent.
4. DecisionAssist Human Review
Even with automation, Findigs doesn't remove the human element. Their trained specialists review applications to offer decision support based on your custom screening criteria. This blend of AI and expert insight ensures decisions are both fast and fair.
5. Custom Rules for Consistency and Compliance
We set your leasing standards into the system once, and Findigs applies them to every application, every time. That helps us make decisions that are not only fast, but defensible and compliant.
