| Real Estate & Property Management Services

Checking out potential tenants is one of the most necessary aspects of every managing agent in 22151 in Fairfax County. The first step for our real estate company to shop a dependable renter is to market your rental property to the widest-possible audience. But the second step is to identigy the the best-possible lessee.

Nesbitt Realty examines the prospective renter’s past behavior. With that in mind, Nesbitt Realty and Management assumes the prospective tenant’s future behavior will be the same. The applicant should demonstrate a history of being a honest, solid renter while meeting our financial criteria. Our background checking process is founded on several hard truths including:

Application – After the prospective renter find out more abouts a rental property, the agent takes an application. The application is accompanied by supporting documentation so that Nesbitt Realty can verify and check out all information included on the application. The prospective renter pays for the cost of the background check at the time of application.
Income Verification – Our local brokerage investigates prospects for continued employment, job title, salary and job status. Depending upon the applicant's debt load, a tenant needs to earn not less than 3 to 4 times the monthly rent in gross income to qualify for rental.
Credit History – The applicant's credit history informs us about the possible renter’s current and past performance with regards to debts and other financial obligations. The potential tenant’s credit report also tells us their monthly debt and shows their previous addresses (which we compare to addresses listed on the application). An applicant must have acceptable credit to qualify.

If accepted, the prospective renter’s in-processing includes a lease, lease signing, collecting pro-rated rent, and providing the lessee with a copy of any association documents needed for disclosure and instruction on rules and regulations associated with the rental and community.
