Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Duke_Garden based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess applicants based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our managers from the start, they will probably be trying as tenants. If a is dishonest, we will expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has difficulty finding fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same applicant will have problems while they are in the rental.
But even if every action initially is promising we still vet every person with a complete background check. Every potential renter and occupant must provide a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers we start our vetting process.

Our Broker Will Nesbitt
"I am by nature a trusting person, but this business has taught me to verify every statement that a tenant makes. Scammers and bad tenants can sometimes give every appearance of being trustworthy and upright people. We never cut corners on background checks." ~ Will Nesbitt

I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
