For property managers and agencies
Managing property in more than one jurisdiction means the rules change under you: trust accounting differs at every Australian state line, the UK has moved on from Section 21, and a US agency runs screening under a federal statute that has nothing to do with either.

Compared with what you use now
Feature-by-feature against the systems agencies most often move from. Every claim is drawn from the same source the comparison table uses, so nothing here is written freehand.
