DON'T GET SCAMMED! 

 

If it sounds too good to be true, it very well could be a scam!

 

• DO NOT wire or send money with an application unless you are using a verified property management website.

 

• DO NOT rent without meeting the real estate agent or landlord in person.

 

Only work with people you can trust! 

 

Working with a real estate agent is a good way to protect yourself from scammers.

 

Review the "Verify Me" section on this page.

 

 

As a real estate agent I have access to rental properties that are owned by individuals who rent out their property and use real estate agents to work with their tenants.  I also have access to some rental companies who own properties and work with real estate agents to find tenants for their rentals.

 

There are two sides to a rental transaction, the listing/seller/leasing side and the tenant/buyer side.  The first, represents the homeowner, the second represents the tenant.  The listing agent may also be a property management company or is working with a property management company or may be working directly with the homeowner to get their property leased. 

 

The tenant's agent only works for the tenant helping navigate the leasing process, that's me!

 

Some listing agents and property management companies use a standard Arizona Rental form while others have their own forms to complete. All of the homeowners and property managements have their own set of qualifications a tenant must be advised about prior to submitting an application; I will help guide you through this process.

 

Each rental property will require varying fees such as:  first month’s rent, a security deposit, cleaning fee, admin fee, pet fee, taxes, etc.  These fees will be required to be paid after lease signing and before move-in.

 

There are other rentals available that do not use real estate agents, I do not have  access to these properties. If you decide to proceed unrepresented by an agent, please use extreme caution.

 

 

MY FEES

 

In many cases my fee is covered by the listing agent side of the transaction, however there are listings were the fee is not covered completely and you will be asked to pay the difference.  I will always give the option to only search homes were the fee is completely covered or give you the option to pay the difference when you sign a lease.  If you have questions about this, please contact me.

 

 

BASIC UNIVERSAL REQUIREMENTS

 

Typically there are some basic universal requirements of almost all homeowners, they are:

 

1.  No open/current evictions, no money owing to a landlord or property management company or open judgement.

 

2.  No current convictions.  Certain types of convictions may result in automatic denial of application.

 

3.  No open bankruptcy.

 

4.  Credit score 580 or higher, sometimes slightly lower if good rental history.

 

5.  In most cases your gross monthly income needs to be 3x the monthly rent.  You will be asked to provide paycheck stubs and/or bank statements and/or Federal tax returns to prove your income.

 

6.  Some homes do not allow pets or restrict certain pets.

 

 

 

 

RENTAL INFO FORM

 

This short rental information form provides me with basic information to get your rental search started.  When answering the questions, consider all adults in your household who will be living with you in your new rental.
