Credit History
Good great is a good indicator, but is no guarantee of a good tenant. Good credit history indicates that someone pays bills on time and knows how to manage their finances. Renters usually have worse credit than homeowners / landlords. Bad credit is not an absolute disqualifier. There are perfectly valid reasons why some people have bad credit and some of those people with bad credit can be outstanding tenants.
A credit history check is not the beginning or end but it is a good place to start to get a picture of whom you're dealing with.
Our Five Step Process
Property Management Basics
Our agents at Nesbitt Realty are people-pleasers. That is to say, our purpose is making our clients happy in Northern Virginia. We enjoy saying "yes" and we look forward to solving problems. Simultaneously, our role as property managers requires that we maintain a strict adherence to the lease, the law, and other requirements. One of the great challenges of property management is informing tenants (and sometimes landlords) the normal practices of property management in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Fortunately, because we have years of experience in the field of property management, we're able to overcome numerous problems by avoiding pitfalls before they become problems.
