How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment
We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but feel it is important to get the RIGHT tenant versus the FAST tenant! Spending time up front and finding the BEST tenant for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.
Oftentimes people think they just need to do a quick credit check and verify employment but there’s more to it than that. Our high quality tenant screening process digs deeper. We gather extensive information on the following:
- Credit Check
- Debt to income ratios
- Criminal history check
- Employment verification
- Eviction history check
- Previous landlord calls
- Sex offender Screening
Our screening process is not just based on a credit score only - we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant. This process has proven to be extremely successful.

Owner or Renter?
How much rent can you get for your investment?
Setting the proper rental rate for a property is one way to reduce the time a property sits empty—which costs you money instead of earning it. Many factors come together to influence the perfect rental rate or "bullseye price," such as:
- Type of property
- Bedrooms
- Bathrooms
- HVAC
- Pet policy
- Amenities
- Condition
- Location
- Market conditions
Set the rate too high, and you risk a property that sits vacant for months—while tenants find something more in line with market rates. Set the rental amount too low, and you lose money on your investment—and potentially lose out on market-savvy renters who think the offer is too good to be true.

Property Management in Hampton Roads
Let us manage your Hampton Roads rental property
The advance within the property management industry has been based on changes in local, state and federal laws combined with how we live. In the 1900s, rental properties had few laws regarding safety and protection of those renting as well as the condition of the buildings. The end of WWI saw the beginning of the Middle Class development, but this was quickly destroyed with the advent of the Great Depression. This brought about a new condition that left massive numbers of properties in the hands of the banks who had no idea how to manage them. This was a case of the development of an industry due to cause and effect. Banks began to hire people called “caretaker managers” who did some of the more basic duties. Over time, companies began to develop to take on more responsibilities of the property owners.
The creation of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) set standards for building and assisted the federal government in understanding the rental industry and the establishment of policy goals. Other organizations began to form and these were followed by individual state laws governing rental properties, building conditions, and renter protection.
The 1950s brought about the baby boom with consumers seeking to purchase real estate. By the 1960s the rental industry had grown in popularity and owners were having difficulties keeping up with the demands of complying with new federal and state laws while maintaining the integrity of the buildings and the never ending cycle of renters. Caretaker managers were no longer sufficient for the demands and this brought about the development of companies that had teams of specialists to take on the responsibilities of property governance. The difficulties involved in the real estate industry became more complex with new tax laws and changes in management methods.
Today most states require that property management companies that collect rent, list rental property, assist in lease negotiation, and third-party inspections also be licensed real estate brokers. There are variations in these requirements by state, depending upon the property management duties.
