How do you screen applicants?
Our detailed and extensive screening reports first draw an applicant’s credit. We also do a US wide search of any civil or criminal court convictions as well as sex offenders registry. We dig further by getting references from previous and past Landlords and verify stated income is correct. You want to know if they will pay the rent on time, take good care of your property, and not disturb the neighbors. We call this "the big 3" and it's our job to answer those questions with each applicant we present to you.

How do you collect rent?
Tenants enjoy the convenience of paying rent on-line through their personal tenant portal. With the smart phone app it's as easy as texting. There is no extra fee for e-pay, and many enjoy the reoccurring payment feature. We have removed the excuse that "the office was closed" or "I was out of town" to receive timely rent payments as our systems allow rent to be paid 24/7 from anywhere. Some renters still like to pay by check, but this method of payment will cost them a stamp or a trip to our office.
