Professional Property Management Services

Tenant screening is not a DIY home project. This is not the time to "screen" your applicant by a first impression upon meeting. This is how war stories start. From fake paystubs, to false rental verifications, people's lying ability is at it's best.

We have over 30 years of viewing paystubs, taking references, and know all the "red flags" immediately when screening an applicant. We have a "wall of shame" of all the stolen identities (Drivers licenses) that we have uncovered. 

Do you hate phone trees when you call a business? Yah, we do too. When you call us, a live person will answer the phone ready to answer any questions you have. 

Will you get an approval or denial from us in an hour? Most likely not. We have a well trained staff (actual humans) doing the screening -- not some computer system, that does not detect false information. 

Beware of "national" eviction or criminal searches. Those secret coveted websites DO NOT exist. Court records are filed county by county. Our staff specifically verifies records by the county courts, one by one. 

Along with our full service report, we will provide our professional recommendation (only if you want it), letting you know if this is a good candidate to rent to. 

Are you a new landlord, and not sure what "standards" you should have when accepting a tenant to rent to? 

Call us, we are happy to give our opinion!

We want your landlord experience to be a positive one! Let us help you out. 

Real life example of “Initial Self Screening” and “First Impressions”

SCENARIO: A friend purchased his first rental and sent his rental apps to us for screening. 

LANDLORD CHOICE: Along with the applications, he noted one he was impressed by and wanted to rent to.  Reasons he liked this one particular applicant: 

• He drove up in a nice car & was well dressed
• He needed a 2 bedroom, since he runs his internet business from home
• He was polite, easy to talk to and seemed honest

TENANT GUARANTORS RECOMMENDATION: Do not rent to preferred applicant.  

• His submitted tax forms were not filled out correctly for being self employed, therefore  His income could not be verified.
• False information was given regarding his current rental history.  In doing a title search, the verified owner was contacted, he was in the process on being evicted. 
• Unlawful detainer search showed he had also been evicted from his previous address.
• Criminal search showed he was also in the midst of a trial for prostitution.

Needless to say, our friend was appreciative of our services.
