Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Catesby Howard based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge potential renters based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff from the start, they will probably be rude as renters. If a lies, we will expect them to be untrustworthy as a tenant. If a has a problem finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same potential renter will have troubles while they are in the rental.
But even if every statement initially is promising we still vet every potential tenant with a full background check. Every applicant and occupant must provide 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
