What we look for in Alexandria_Overlook renters
In Alexandria_Overlook, Nesbitt Realty wants to deal with reliable renters. Here are a few of the traits we look for.
- A renter pays the rent on time every month. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant has integrity. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A renter is neat. A tenant does not bring pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not overwork the home.
- A tenant is courteous and nice to work with. A tenant knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't disturb neighbors.
- A tenant complains at appropriate times. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost property owners money and cause issues for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't demand to replace functioning systems. A renter doesn't expect more than the lease provides. A renter doesn't complain that an appliance doesn't work when the renter doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A renter does not smoke in the property.
- A tenant is looking for a lease that is as long as the landlord wants to rent the rental.
So this is what we're looking for in a renter, but how do we find tenants who measure up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that unreasonable tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out tardy tenants.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential renters in Alexandria_Overlook based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential tenants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is rude to us from the outset, they will probably be trying as tenants. If a makes false statements, we will expect them to be dishonest as a renter. If a has a problem producing money for background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same applicant will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even if every statement initially is good we still check the background of each person with a full background check. Every person and occupant must submit a government-issue photo identification. From there, as rental 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
Julie Nesbitt
I like tenants that pay on time. Late paying tenants cause extra work and unnecessary stress for landlords and property managers. ~ Julie Nesbitt
