The best way to collect application fee

[Dave Lin]

During my house showing, I find that most people prefer taking the application form back home to fill out. Usually, they can scan and email me the form in one or two days. However, I may have to meet an applicant again to collect $30 fee or give him/her my home address to mail a check.

What is the best way to collect such small fee with minimum effort? Any comment is highly appreciated.

Use a service like smartmove.com and allow them to pay them the funds directly when they enter their application. You'll get the results quickly and the only thing they will have to give you is basic information and an email address. Everything else is automated. You can set up an account for free. I think it is also a BP referred resource; see the link under resources.
