Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Downtown based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess applicants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our managers at the outset, they will probably be difficult as tenants. If a makes false statements, we can expect them to be untrustworthy as a renter. If a has difficulty scrounging up money for background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same applicant will have difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even when every appearance initially is promising we still vet every person with a complete background check. Every applicant and occupant must provide a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers we start our vetting process.
How we protect the landlord’s interests in Downtown:

"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
