Airfactz Screening and Reporting Services
Spokane, WA.
Airfactz Screening and Reporting Services has been in
business for more than 30 years. We currently hold an
“A” rating with the Better Business Bureau and recently
passed an Experian audit with no incidences. We pride
ourselves on providing timely, accurate, and ethical
reporting practices at a reasonable cost.
Airfactz currently represents many Housing Authorities
as well as management companies that transact with tax
credit, Section 8 and other affordable properties. A
partial list of public clients includes: NEWHS –
Spokane, Central Oregon Housing, Capitol Hill
HA-Seattle, Seattle HA, Grays Harbor HA, Bellingham HA,
CCWHA-Wenatchee HA, Missoula HA, Snohomish HA, Chelan
Douglas HA, Muckleshoot Tribal Housing, Coeur d’Alene
Tribal Housing, Nampa HA, and many more privately owned
management companies. Not only do we provide tenant
screening, but we provide employment screening and
consumer reports, too.
The Airfactz system is fully automated but that doesn’t
mean you have to be fully automated. We can accept
applications online, via fax or by email. You, the
client, chooses how you want your account to work for
you. Your secure online account is easy to learn, easy
to read and easy to manage. It can be customized to fit
your needs. For example, we can set up a master account,
followed by separate accounts for each complex. We will
set-up the various types of reports you need for each
complex or each type of tenant. We set-up individual
users and passwords for each person who has access. You
are in control.
Tenant screening is a like a huge puzzle. Airfactz
professional screeners are trained to spot
inconsistencies and gaps that might reflect problem
areas or warrant further investigation. We communicate
with you throughout the day, keeping you apprised of the
status and findings of the report.
You may access the account 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. You will get credit information in less than a
minute, followed by criminal information that generally
takes 1-2 business days. That’s because criminal data
can be misleading and can contain misinformation. It is
our policy to review all criminal data before we release
it. Rental and work references depend on the response
from the former landlord or employer. We track
evictions, credit issues, criminal data, SSN and
driver’s license verification along with reference
checking. We get exceptional information from the
Pacific Northwest states because we have been doing
business here for so many years.
Airfactz wants to be your partner, not just a vendor. We
are so confident in our services, that we offer 3 free
screenings to members of AHMA who wish to compare us
side-by-side with their current company. (You must
complete a member application and sign disclosure
documents to qualify.) We also offer volume discounts to
those who qualify.
Take a peek at our web site
www.airfactz.com or call
Kathy Pierson at 1-800-729-7776 ext. 103 for more
information. |
Safeway
Step offers
multiple bath accessibility products to provide easier
accessibility to existing bathtub for a fraction of the
cost compared to tearing-out the existing bathtub,
including the Safeway Tub Door and the Safeway Step .
The Safeway Tub Door is a product and installation
method designed to add a water-tight sealable door to an
existing bathtub. Installation of the Safeway Tub Door
includes cutting and removing a section of the existing
tub and custom fitting the resulting opening with the
Safeway Tub Door . The Safeway Tub Door is an important
addition to Safeway's industry leading line of bath
accessibility products and builds upon the versatility
provided by the Company's initial core product, the
Safeway Step . The Safeway Step retrofits the existing
bathtub into a permanent walk-in shower and has been
installed in thousands of units.
Benefits of Safeway's bathtub modifications include:
• Makes existing bathtub more accessible;
• Provides bathtub retrofit options with or without a
door;
• Installed in just two to three hours;
• Reduces the possibility of falls;
• Assists with rehabilitation and ability to stay at
home longer; and,
• Saves thousands compared to tearing out and removing
the existing bathtub to install more costly renovation
options, such as a walk-in shower or bath.
