What we look for in Clear Brook tenants
In Clear Brook, Nesbitt Realty wants to deal with good renters. Here are a few of the traits we seek out.
- A tenant pays the rent on time every time. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant is honest. A renter does not sneak in a co-renter or pet.
- A renter is fastidious. A renter does not bring pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A renter does not break the property.
- A renter is courteous and easy to get along with. A renter knows the difference between a property manager and a hotel concierge.
- A renter doesn't annoy neighbors.
- A renter complains at appropriate times. tenants that don't report maintenance issues cost landlords 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 replace functioning systems. A tenant doesn't expect more than the lease provides. A tenant doesn't complain that an appliance doesn't work when the tenant doesn't know how to operate the appliance.
- A tenant does not smoke in the property.
- 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 tenant, but how do we find tenants who measure up to this ideal? Experience has taught us that troublesome renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a nose for sniffing out difficult renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Clear Brook based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential renters based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to our managers from the beginning, they will probably be troublesome as tenants. If a makes false statements, we can expect them to be untrustworthy as a tenant. If a has troubles producing certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential renter will have problems during the lease.
But even if every action initially is good we still vet every applicant with a full background check. Every potential renter and occupant must submit a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers we start our vetting process.

"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
