Our Five Step Process
Fair Housing Laws and our conscience dictates that we do not judge potential tenants in Lorton based upon appearance. Experience has taught us that appearances can be very decieving. We do however assess applicants based upon their track record and their actions. If a applicant is difficult with our staff at the start, they will probably be difficult as renters. If a makes false statements, we will expect them to be dishonest as a tenant. If a has difficulty producing money for background fees and the first month of rent, we can expect that same potential tenant will have problems during the lease.
But even if every statement initially is good we still check the background of every person with a complete background check. Every potential renter and occupant must provide a government-issue photo identification. From there, as property managers we start our vetting process.
How we protect the landlord’s interests in Lorton:

"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
