How do you screen potential renters?
Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of property management is tenant screening. Simply finding a renter is only half the battle. If you end up with someone who doesn’t pay or damages your property, you would have been better off having no one there at all. That’s why proper and extensive tenant screening is so important — and why we put in significant effort to ensure the tenant will respect and maintain your property.
Some of the measures we use to screen potential tenants include:
Rigorous, in-depth application
Credit check
Criminal background check
Eviction history check
Verification of income and job history
Interviews with previous landlords to determine rental history
How can I see what’s happening with my property?
We offer optional property inspection services that include an in-person visit to your property with assessments and pictures so you can see how your property is being taken care of. As an owner-client, you have access to an owner portal that features robust accounting report access so you can always see your property’s financial picture.
Are there any upfront costs?
There are no upfront costs for managing your property. We get paid when you do after renting the property.
What is your fee structure?
Fees are dependent on the property portfolio and location, they are competitive so please inquire today about how much they are for your property today.
