What we seek in Brandy Station renters
In Brandy Station, our management staff wants to deal with reliable tenants. Here are a few of the traits we look for.
- A tenant pays the rent when due every time. This means paying on or before the first, rather than at 5 pm on the 5th.
- A tenant has integrity. A renter does not sneak in a co-tenant or pet.
- A tenant is fastidious. A tenant does not attract pests such as rodents and bugs.
- A tenant does not damage the property.
- A tenant is courteous and nice to work 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 property owners money and cause issues for property managers.
- A tenant doesn't complain when it's not appropriate. This means that a tenant doesn't demand 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 tenant does not smoke in the home.
- A renter is looking for a lease that is as long as the real estate investor wants to rent the rental.
So this is what we're looking for in a tenant, but how do we find tenants who live up to this standard? Experience has taught us that bad renters can appear as polite, nicely-dress, well educated people with jobs. We have a knack for sniffing out bad renters.
Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Brandy Station based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess people based upon their reputation and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our managers from the start, they will probably be difficult as renters. 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 difficulty while they are in the rental.
But even when every statement initially is good we still check the background of every applicant with a complete background check. Every person 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
