Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge people in Washington based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess people based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is rude to us at the beginning, they will probably be rude as renters. If a is caught fabricating facts, we can expect them to be unreliable as a renter. If a has difficulty producing certified fundsfor 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 if every statement initially is promising we still check the background of each potential renter 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 Washington:

"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
