In 2010, my career in investigations began, and I felt I had seen it all. However, a personal experience in 2024 profoundly shifted my perspective. We rented a room in our Noida home to a seemingly trustworthy young man, neglecting a proper background check, including police verification. Just fifteen days later, he was gone, leaving behind a locked room and a harsh lesson about the critical need for tenant screening. The financial loss was substantial, but the feeling of violated trust was even more impactful.
This incident was a stark wake-up call. It wasn't simply about the money; it was about the sense of vulnerability and the potential danger we had unknowingly welcomed into our home. It underscored the widespread lack of reliable tenant verification processes, leaving countless homeowners exposed to similar risks. I realized I was not alone in this predicament and that a solution was desperately needed.
That realization sparked the creation of Checkefy. I envisioned a platform empowering landlords and homeowners with the tools to make informed decisions about their tenants. A platform providing fast, dependable, and thorough background checks, mitigating the risks associated with inadequate screening. Checkefy is more than a business; it's a direct result of a personal experience, a costly lesson, and a deep commitment to protecting others from the same ordeal.
