McCourt Property Management switches to BoomScreen to access new applicant insights and streamline decision making.
This case study is based on an interview with Caren Crane-McCourt, Owner-Broker of McCourt Property Management, LLC and McCourt Real Estate Services. All quotes are attributed to her unless stated otherwise.
Caren McCourt-Crane is no stranger to the business of property management. After 30+ years in the industry (during which served as the president of the Midland Apartment Association and served on boards of various SFR and multi-family-affiliated organizations), her expertise has garnered the loyalty of her properties’ owners who trust her to take exceptional care of their homes and tenants. As one of her owners said, “The service quality and attention to detail are second to none.”
McCourt Property Management’s goal is to streamline every aspect of the rental process for their owners while ensuring applicants experience a fair screening process. Caren said, “We treat everyone honestly and fairly.”
“I think the Boom team is doing a super job. Everyone has just been great to work with. We're trying to take care of our owners, we're trying to take care of our residents … We actually feel cared for and looked out for by the Boom team. And if we get into some kind of a snag, they get us sorted out.”
With Boom, renters can build their credit over time as they make consistent, on-time rental payments.

All renters using Boom can track their reported payments and credit score progress via the Boom app.
Customer support for you, your applicants, and your renters in minutes, not days.
As a CRA, Boom handles all screening report disputes, requests for report copies, and requests for data updates,
English and Spanish support for your renters—and more languages coming soon.
At Boom, our goal is to make housing more flexible, affordable, and rewarding.
Boom was started in late 2020 as one of our co-founders, Rob Whiting, helped two of his family members navigate housing instability due to
COVID-19 - related job loss. During this time, he saw just how archaic and difficult renting remains for the majority of the 110 million renters in the US like his family members. And the rent payment is at the center of this.
Not only has rent increased >4x faster than income for the majority of renters since the early 2000s, but the tools available to renters and landlords alike has similarly stagnated. Rent remains one large lump sum, with no additional benefits on top of paying rent - a fact that can make renting feel like money down the drain. At Boom, we believe that housing can be more flexible, affordable, and rewarding. We’ve started by enabling you to build credit with the rent payments you already make.
