We Investigate The Applicant’s Rental History

Vetting Tenants — How we protect the landlord’s interests. We Investigate The Applicant’s Rental History

Check with past landlords

This is usually the slowest part of the process because former landlords are not always quick to respond. Part of the process of checking with past landlords is verifying that the phone number provided is actually the landlord's phone. Then we need to verify that the person who claims to be the landlord actually owns the property that the applicant claimed to have rented. Once we've done all this, we talk to the landlord and ask them a series of questions about the applicant. Landlords can be very informative, especially in off-the-record conversations.  This is an important window into understanding what sort of applicant we are dealing with.

 

Property Management Basics

Nesbitt Realty usually charges a percentage of the rents collected. Most landlords find that our fees are lower than other property management firms in Northern Virginia. Every aspect of Nesbitt Realty property manager’s responsibilities will be outlined in a contract signed by both Nesbitt Realty and the landlord. Our property management agreement was written by the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors staff attorneys.  This standardized agreement details financial responsibilities and specifies the types of financial reports the landlord can expect.
