Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in The_townes_of_shirlington based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess people based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our staff at the start, they will probably be difficult as tenants. If a lies, we will expect them to be dishonest as a tenant. If a has difficulty scrounging up money for background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same applicant will have troubles during the lease.
But even if every appearance initially is good we still vet each person with a full background check. Every potential tenant 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
