Help needed. First time using an agent to rent a unit.

[Armando Payano]

Hello BP

I'm curious if any agent or property owner can help me out. This is my first time using an agent to find a tenant for one of our Tampa area SFR rentals.

The agent I'm working with has found a prospective tenant and ran a credit check, criminal background check as well as an eviction check and requested prior landlord referral. He said he verified his employment and financials. He told me everything checks out and the tenant is dropping off the deposit money. I then told him before you accept any funds forward me his credentials. He then tells me that he cannot provide me with the background check, credit report or criminal history or he can lose his license. He says he can tell me the prospective tenant doesn't have a criminal history and "has an 8+ credit score" 

Is this a red flag? I have never rented a unit with out seeing first hand a tenants credentials.
