Sierra Vista Property Management
We Eliminate the Stress of Property Ownership
How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment
Accepting a bad tenant can cost you thousands of dollars in lost rent and damages. At SMS Properties, we conduct extensive screening on all prospective tenants.
We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but feel it is important to get the RIGHT tenant versus the FAST tenant! Spending time up front and finding the BEST tenant for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.
Oftentimes 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 tenant 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 calls
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.
For years, local property owners have counted on SMS Realty & Management to identify reliable tenants for their properties. Through a blend of long-standing Sierra Vista, AZ real estate industry connections, marketing strategies, and thorough screening processes, SMS can identify, recruit and service tenants that make sense for you and your property.
Tenant screening is, without a doubt, the most critical aspect of property management. Do yourself a favor and leave this to the experts.
