Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Arlington_ _East_Falls_Church based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential tenants based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our managers from the start, they will probably be troublesome as renters. If a lies, we will expect them to be dishonest as a renter. If a has a problem producing certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential renter will have problems while they are in the rental.
But even when every appearance initially is promising we still check the background of each potential renter with a full background check. Every potential tenant and occupant must provide 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
