What we look for in Fairfax_club_estates tenants
In Fairfax_club_estates, our team wants to deal with good tenants. Here are a few of the traits we look for.
- 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 is trustworthy. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A tenant is fastidious. A renter does not bring pests like rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not destroy the property.
- A tenant is courteous and easy to get along with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A tenant doesn't bother neighbors.
- A renter complains when appropriate. Renters that don't report maintenance issues cost property owners money and cause head-aches for property managers.
- A renter doesn't gripe when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't demand to upgrade functioning systems. A tenant 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 property.
- A tenant is looking for a lease that is as long as the property owner wants to rent the home.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find tenants who measure up to this standard? Experience has taught us that tardy renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out tardy renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential renters in Fairfax_club_estates based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge applicants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with us at the outset, they will probably be trying as tenants. If a makes false statements, we can expect them to be dishonest as a tenant. If a has troubles finding money for background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential tenant will have troubles during the lease.
But even if every action initially is good we still vet each applicant with a complete background check. Every potential tenant 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
