Yes. Our property managers are licensed North Carolina Real Estate brokers and hold additional designations from the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM).
You can have a dual listing where the property is listed with another agent for sale and our firm for rent at the same time. There is not an early termination if the property is sold before the property can be rented.
Most properties are listed with a conditional pet policy. This means that the property owner must approve all pets. If the pets are approved there is a $300 non-refundable pet fee, this fee covers 2 pets. Vicious breed dogs will be automatically declined, breeds that are considered vicious include but are not limited to:
  • Pit bulls
  • Doberman Pinschers
  • Rottweilers
  • German Shepherds
Please note that if you do not allow pets then you will be restricting your options of who rents your property.
Please contact your insurance agent and ask for a rental dwelling policy that includes liability coverage of at least $300,000. There are differences between a regular homeowners policy and a rental dwelling policy and your agent can explain the difference. There is little cost difference between the two and it is often times less expensive.
Absolutely! We screen every tenant based on the following criteria:
  1. Criminal - Applicants with a violent criminal background or recent drug offenses will be automatically declined.
  2. Credit - We run a credit screening for your application. In general, we like to see a score of at least 600. Items on your credit that can potentially affect the outcome of your application are:
    • Landlord Collections
    • Landlord Evictions
    • Outstanding Collections
    • Repossessions
    • Recent Delinquencies
    • Open Bankruptcies
  3. Income - Combined gross household income must total 3 times the rent.
  4. Evictions – Recent landlord eviction filings within the last 3 years.
  5. Landlord reference for their last rental property
We advertise our properties on over 20 websites including our website, MLS, Rentals.com, Zillow.com, Rentalhomes.com, hotpads.com, Craigslist, Facebook, and more. We also work with referrals, and put up signage to advertise available properties.
You can try to do both at the same time! If you’re in doubt, try selling and renting your property at the same time to help determine which option is right for your property. See the question above for more information.
