Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge applicants in Reston based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however judge applicants based upon their history and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff at the start, they will probably be difficult as renters. If a lies, we can expect them to be dishonest as a tenant. If a has difficulty scrounging up fundsfor background fees and the first month of rent, we will expect that same person will have difficulty during the lease.
But even if every appearance initially is good we still vet each applicant with a complete background check. Every potential tenant 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
