In the real estate industry, technology continues to play an instrumental role for both residential and commercial property owners. Specifically, the use of mobile payments – and the convenience associated with this service – will transform the way landlords and tenants process transactions, manage business relationships and provide the necessary oversight to handle multiple accounts.

Without that partner, the real estate industry cannot make mobile payments the new standard it deserves to be.
