Our goal is simple: to enable RESAAS agents to pre-qualify their clients quickly for the best mortgage products and lowest rates available."
"As a fintech company, Rocket Mortgage Canada understands the value of a digital experience to help simplify the mortgage process for both clients and their real estate agents," said Hash Aboulhosn, President of Rocket Mortgage Canada.

The acquisition will broaden Millennium Trust's diverse solutions by giving institutional and individual clients access to world-class facilitators of all types of 1031 exchanges, one of the most popular, efficient tax deferral strategies when selling and buying real estate property used for business or investment.
For more than 20 years, Millennium Trust has provided access to and custody solutions for alternative asset investments, including real estate. Utilizing Accruit's patented technology and user-friendly online software solution, Exchange Manager ProSM, clients can now take advantage of the tax benefits of leveraging 1031 exchanges and increase cash flow by deferring taxes on gains realized through the sale of qualifying real estate.
"More people are turning to alternative investments like real estate to grow their retirement savings and income, so 1031 exchanges are a valuable tool when managing wealth. We help people leverage their assets to invest in alternatives like real estate, and we're excited about this step forward, pairing the highest level of administrative expertise and exceptional service with Accruit's revolutionary 1031 exchange software technology," Millennium Trust CEO Dan Laszlo said.
"Clients who want to invest in real estate may be able to take advantage of additional tax savings, utilizing boutique-style service across a large volume of exchanges, which sets Accruit apart from other qualified intermediaries. Our company values and path forward are aligned, and we are thrilled to begin working with Accruit's talented industry experts to immediately bring additional value to Millennium Trust's alternative asset clients," said Erik Beck, Chief Commercial Officer of Millennium Trust.
Accruit, which is headquartered in Denver, has successfully revolutionized the 1031 exchange industry over the last 23 years by operationalizing the exchange of real estate assets through technology and its unique, client-focused service.
"It's an incredibly exciting time to join Millennium Trust.

"Our industry experts look forward to immediately adding value to Millennium Trust's clients by providing another solution to help maximize their financial well-being."
This acquisition is a part of Millennium Trust's efforts to expand its health, wealth, retirement and benefit solutions.

Rently, the leader in self-touring and smart home technology solutions, is pleased to announce a partnership with TURSS, a subsidiary of TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) to provide single-family property managers with an automated leasing application that helps eliminate rental fraud, streamlines business operations, and ensures quality tenants.
Rently's "3-in-1" rental application uses multi-layer security features and innovative AI technology to instantly verify renter ID, income, and credit history. Using information provided by touring renters, Rently's application can be pre-filled up to 30%, connected immediately to bank accounts and TransUnion for financial verifications, and approved within hours.
"Rently is excited to expand our portfolio of smart leasing tools with an innovative product that helps our clients find the best possible tenants," said Merrick Lackner, Rently CEO. "Rently's 3-in-1 rental application continues our commitment to creating real value for our customers."
"TransUnion's TruVision™ Resident Score was specifically created for the rental housing industry to provide the most predictive benefit of reducing bad debt through lower evictions and skips," said Maitri Johnson, vice president of tenant and employment screening at TransUnion. "We provide a comprehensive view of each applicant to help property managers choose the most qualified tenants, while remaining fully compliant with the Fair Housing Act."
In addition to providing renters with a superior experience, Rently's application also saves renters money because it can be transferred across multiple homes under the same management company and used by multiple renters applying as roommates. Renters can also avoid unnecessary application fees by using Rently's iQual+™, a feature that helps them avoid applying to homes they may not qualify for.
Rently's application seamlessly integrates with its popular touring and smart home platform, and managers can view listings and applicants from the same desktop portal. Because it can be easily added through open integration, Rently's application is ideal for clients looking for a flexible "plug and play" solution.
