Abstract: Secure information brokering according to the present disclosure provides a technique for a potential tenant seeking to rent or to lease real estate to have their credit and identity information verified by a secure information broker. The secure information broker may then provide the verified information to the property owner or manager of the real estate as well as to other service or commodity providers. This technique expedites the real estate rental or lease application process, preserves the potential tenant's credit score, and exposes the potential tenant to other services available based on the credit score. This process may also be used to engage any or all of the service or commodity providers ancillary to any real estate transaction.
