How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

Gurnee Resident Screening

We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but feel it is important to get the RIGHT Resident versus the FAST Resident! Spending time up front and finding the BEST Resident for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.

Often times people think they just need to do a quick credit check and verify employment but there’s more to it than that. Our high quality Resident screening process digs deeper. We gather extensive information on the following:

  • Credit Check
  • Debt to income ratios
  • Criminal history check
  • Employment verification
  • Eviction history check
  • Previous landlord references
  • Fraud Detection

Our screening process is not just based on a credit score only - we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant. This process has proven to be extremely successful.
