Can a real estate agency use easyAML for property management even though it isn't an AML obligation?
Property management coverage is coming soon; agencies can use easyAML for property management ID verification today to keep sales and PM staff on one workflow and audit trail.
This feature is coming soon. Although property management itself sits outside the AML/CTF regime (see "Are property management, leasing and rental transactions captured?" in this section), agencies are welcome to use easyAML's ID verification for property management work - and many do, for three reasons:
- One system, both sides of the agency. Sales staff and property management staff use the same workflow, the same audit trail and the same vendor records. No need to maintain a separate ID-check tool for the property management book.
- Owner verification. Some agencies want owner ID on file as a fraud control (especially for off-shore or first-time landlords) even though it isn't legally required.
- Marketing and onboarding consistency. A consistent customer experience across sales and rentals - same SMS branding, same VOI flow - looks more professional and reduces friction.
Whether it's economically worthwhile depends on volume. For a high-volume property management book it's a clear win on the per-check pricing. For very low-volume operations it can help justify the subscription. The platform charges KYC fees per check (not per property managed), so there's no fixed cost for adding the property management side.
