Tenant Placement Services
Finding a tenant can be a stressful process. Narrowing down prospective tenants to the one who will provide you with the best landlord experience is our specialty.
It begins with marketing
One of the most important steps in filling a vacancy quickly is the effective use of real estate marketing channels. Our marketing process includes:
-
1

-
2

Property Websites
The home base for your property online. Socially-integrated, gorgeous websites.
Accompanied Showings
Unfortunately, the practice of handing out keys to tenant prospects is commonplace in Charlotte. Rest assured that the keys to your rental property are NEVER handed out to prospective tenants.
A Realtor® On Your Side

Tenant Utility Verification
Verifying the utilities are on and in your new tenants name is an essential step in the placement process. Once approved, your prospective tenant will receive a county-specific guide from AllenWay on how to complete this stage.
Robust Verification
Word of mouth is not enough for AllenWay. Many times a prospective tenant will believe they've satisfied all requirements for a utility provider, only to have the landlord receive a bill later that month. We do not sign leases until we've received verification documents from the provider themselves.
Organized Documentation
Utility verification documents are important to hang onto. Once your rental's lease is signed, you'll receive a well-documented collection of files including your tenant's ulitity documents.
Pre-Lease Property Inspections
A crucial step in the move-in process, the AllenWay Tenant Placement service includes a complete pre-lease property inspection. Rest easy knowing the condition of your rental is captured and documented, prior to move in.
Protection is in the Proof
When your tenant moves out, a well-documented inspection is your best friend. Nothing makes it easier to explain why a deduction was made from a security deposit than an organized, photographic inspection.
Organized Documentation
Along with the lease, utility documents, and background report, your property inspection is included in your placement package. Easy access to the inspection is critical during the move out process.
Air-Tight Lease Execution
AllenWay Agents take the time to explain the finer details of the lease. The more educated a tenant, the better the experience is for the landlord. Our air-tight lease execution not only protects our clients, but also gives them peace of mind.
