Marketing your Property and Placing Tenants
Our leasing process fills your property with great tenants quickly.
Before we begin marketing your home, we’ll inspect it thoroughly to make sure it’s ready for the market. If we make recommendations about improvements you may want to consider, it’s because we want to limit your vacancy time, charge as much rent as possible, and attract the best tenants on the market.

The tenant screening process includes a detailed background check. We’ll look for criminal history and past evictions. We’ll also check credit, verify income, and talk to employers. Rental history will also be checked, and we’ll ask former landlords how the prospective tenants performed.
After we approve a tenant, we’ll executive the lease and continue our full-service management or hand the property back to you.
