1. Fill out our basic online application for free. We do not charge an application fee at this step!
   We want you to see if you like the property before moving forward. (This seems to be a unique concept around here…)
   
2. We will reach out to schedule a tour of the property.
   
3. If you like the home and want to proceed we will let you know where you are in line.
   
   We believe in first come, first served. Meaning, once someone has submitted an application and toured the property the line forms from when they submitted the application. They have first option to move forward.
   
4. Next comes the background check. This is when the background check company charges each tenant age 18 and over for a background & credit check. If you are worried about something we will find please let us know. We understand life happens and an explanation will be considered as well as how much time has passed.
   
5. Once approved, the Security Deposit is due immediately to hold the property for up to 30 days. If this is not paid we will offer the property the next person in line. The 1st months rent is due upon move-in or in 30 days whichever comes first. Failure to meet this deadline will result in loss of Security Deposit and we will offer the property to the next person in line.
   
6. Almost Home! We make sure all paperwork has been signed, utilities transferred to your name (where applicable) and deposits/fees/rents paid. After approval and lease execution, move-in can typically happen in 1-2 weeks.
   
7. Keys are handed over and you can now move in to your new home!

If you have any questions about this please call or text us.
