Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Fairfax County based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess potential tenants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is rude to us from the outset, they will probably be rude as tenants. If a is caught fabricating facts, we can expect them to be unreliable as a tenant. If a has difficulty finding certified fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same person will have problems during the lease.
But even if every action initially is promising we still vet each potential tenant with a complete background check. Every person and occupant must provide 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
