Tenant Screening
We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment
How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but feel it is important to get the RIGHT tenant versus the FAST tenant! Spending time up front and finding the BEST tenant for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.
Often times people think they just need to do a quick credit check and verify employment but there’s more to it than that. Our high quality tenant screening process digs deeper. We gather extensive information on the following...
- Credit Check
- Debt to income ratios
- Criminal history check
- Employment verification
- Eviction history check
- Previous landlord calls
Our screening process is not just based on a credit score only - we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant. This process has proven to be extremely successful.

you’re protected with our guarantees
Happiness Guarantee
We believe in quality customer service. If for any reason you are not satisfied with our services, you can cancel your agreement after the first 90 days with no penalties. If you cancel within the first 90 days, an early termination fee equivalent to one month of management fees will apply to cover the work we’ve done upfront, such as onboarding, marketing, and inspections.
Results Guarantee
With our results guarantee, you don’t pay us until we deliver results! If we are leasing your property, we do all the work upfront—marketing, showing your property, screening tenants, handling the paperwork, and conducting move-in inspections—without charging you anything until we secure a qualified tenant.
Leasing Guarantee
Our leasing guarantee ensures that if a tenant does not fulfill at least 9 months of the lease term, we will find you a new tenant for free. This minimizes your risk and ensures we’re always focused on placing quality tenants.
Flexible Rental Guarantee
If we are unable to lease your home within 60 days, we’ll give you half a month of management free. If it takes longer than 90 days, you’ll receive one full month of management free. This guarantee motivates us to lease your property quickly, while still accounting for market conditions.
Pet Guarantee
We offer up to $1,000 in damage protection if pet-related damages exceed the security deposit
