Tenant Placement

Everything in rental profitability traces back to who you let in. Our placement process is built to find tenants who pay, stay and take care of the place.

The placement process

  1. Price it right. Market analysis sets rent where it fills fast without leaving money on the table.
  2. Market it well. Pro photos and syndicated listings across the major rental platforms.
  3. Show it responsively. Inquiries answered fast - the good applicants have options and no patience.
  4. Screen it seriously. Credit, criminal, eviction history, income verification and actual landlord references.
  5. Sign it properly. Attorney-reviewed lease, documented move-in condition, deposits handled to the letter of the law.

Why screening discipline pays

One bad placement costs more than years of management fees - missed rent, damage, turnover and sometimes an eviction. Our criteria are written, consistently applied and fair-housing compliant, which protects you twice: from bad tenants and from discrimination claims. We decline applications a hopeful landlord would rationalize - that's precisely the value.

Placement-only service is available if you self-manage after - we find and vet, you take the keys from there.

Common questions

How long to place a tenant?

Priced right and market-ready: typically two to four weeks. Our vacancy stats beat DIY listings mostly on responsiveness and photos.

What are your screening criteria?

Written standards on income multiple, credit, rental history and background - applied identically to every applicant, shared with owners up front.

What does placement cost?

A one-time fee tied to placement success - quoted flat, up front, with the marketing included.

The right tenant changes everything.
