Broker operations
LeasingStack covers intake handoff, assignment, customers, inventory, and financial workflows. mDesking is not positioned as a full broker CRM or intake stack.

FAQ
Common questions
Is mDesking a full broker CRM?
No. It is best known for incentive and program research. LeasingStack covers intake, quoting, customers, and operations for broker teams.
Does LeasingStack replace MarketScan?
For many independent brokerages, Deal Desk plus portal workflows replace the need for a separate research-only tool. Large desks that live in incentive hunting may still keep MarketScan products.

LeasingStack. Hosted apply and sell links are part of the product. mDesking does not publish a broker intake portal as its core offer.
