What we seek in Hickory Vale Farm renters
In Hickory Vale Farm, our team wants to work with reasonable tenants. Here are a few of the traits we expect.
- A renter pays the rent when due every time. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A renter has integrity. A tenant does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A tenant is neat. A renter does not bring pests like rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not destroy systems.
- A tenant is courteous and easy to work with. A tenant knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't bother neighbors.
- A renter complains when appropriate. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost real estate investors money and cause issues for property managers.
- A renter doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a renter doesn't ask to upgrade 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 tenant doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A renter does not smoke in the home.
- A renter 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 renters who measure up to this standard? Experience has taught us that bad tenants can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out bad renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Hickory Vale Farm based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential tenants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us from the outset, they will probably be rude as tenants. If a is dishonest, we can expect them to be untrustworthy as a tenant. If a has difficulty finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same applicant will have problems during the lease.
But even when every action initially is good we still check the background of each applicant with a complete background check. Every applicant and occupant must submit 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
