We offer background checks to a wide range of professional services providers, including real estate and property management, finance and banking, technology, and more.
Why do real estate and property management companies need to run background checks?
Criminal record checks are mandatory as part of the professional certification process for real estate agents in many parts of Canada, including the Real Estate Council of Ontario for instance.
Additionally, because real estate agencies deal with large sums of money and sensitive client information, agencies must ensure they’re hiring reputable agents.
Property management companies can use background checks when screening potential tenants, so they can be confident they’re renting to responsible people who won’t miss payments or damage property.
