What Does Our Family Operation Do To Investigate Applicants In Fairfax County?

The first step for us to identify a dependable tenant is to put advertise the listing to the widest-possible audience. But the second step is to find the the right lessee. Verifying the claims of applicants is one of the most crucial aspects of any reliable rental property manager in Alexandria, Virginia. Photo of 4305 Dahill Pl Our tiny real estate business looks at the applicant’s past behavior. With that in mind, Nesbitt Realty assumes the applicant’s future behavior will be similar. The applicant should demonstrate a history of being a solid, reliable tenant and meeting your financial criteria. Our background checking process is founded on several basic tactics including:
  • Criminal Record & Evictions – Nesbitt knows it's crucial to know the criminal and public court records of the applicant on every rental home in Alexandria, Virginia. Landlords should be aware that most other managing agents do not look at court records.
  • Income Verification – Nesbitt Realty establishes salary, job status, prospects for continued employment and job title. Depending upon the applicant's debt load, a tenant needs to earn not less than 3 to 4 times the monthly rent in gross income to qualify for rental.
  • Landlord Reference – Nesbitt utilizes public information, tax records and other research and verification to ensure that we're talking to actual investor about actual rental history of the prospective renter.
If accepted, the applicant’s in-processing includes a lease, lease signing, collecting pro-rated rent, and providing the lessee with a copy of any association documents needed for disclosure and instruction on rules and regulations associated with the rental dwelling and community. Nesbitt Realty & Management also gets tenants through relocation networks and other methods. For a complete break-down of our process, email Will Nesbitt or read more here.
