Our leasing process includes preparing the property for the rental market, taking great marketing photos and launching an online advertising campaign, tenant showings, and providing rental criteria and applications to interested tenants.
After we receive applications, we begin to screen them for financial stability, income, background, and rental history. Our process is thorough and includes checking national court records and talking to current and former landlords. We won’t skip steps when it comes to placing a tenant.
By the time we’re ready to place a tenant; we’ve collected the move-in funds, gone over the lease in detail, and inspected your property to document its condition. We can handle all of it expertly and efficiently.
