Tenant Screening
We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment
How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
At CREC Property Management, we know that the right tenant makes all the difference. That’s why we take the time to thoroughly screen each applicant — not just to fill the vacancy, but to ensure a great long-term fit for your property.
We use a nationally known 3rd party screening service to redefine the rental experience:
to remove inherent risk and uncertainty from the process, and empower people to move confidently
on whatever path they choose. This additional screening provides a much more in-depth analysis
of the tenant and is an extra layer of protection that is not the norm in the Property Management
industry. Another benefit of this service is we are able to screen candidates in a much more
streamlined and efficient manner. 25% of applications are screened in under an hour*.
(*Per FindDigs)
Our screening process goes far beyond the basics. While some may stop at a credit score or job check, we dig deeper to get the full picture. Every applicant is carefully reviewed for:
- Credit history
- Verified employment
- Debt-to-income ratio
- Eviction history
- Criminal background
- References from previous landlords
Rather than focusing on a single number, we evaluate each applicant as a whole. This thoughtful approach helps us place responsible tenants who pay on time, take care of the home, and stay longer — giving you more peace of mind and fewer surprises.

1. Earn More, Stress Less
Many people think hiring a property manager is just another expense — but the truth is, it actually helps you make more money. We attract high-quality tenants who stay longer, take better care of your property, and reduce costly turnover and repairs. That means more income and fewer headaches for you.

2. Say Goodbye to the Daily Hustle
Chasing down rent, handling maintenance calls, coordinating vendors, and fielding complaints — it adds up fast. Managing a property can feel like a second full-time job. When you hand those tasks over to us, you free up your time and get to enjoy the benefits of ownership without the chaos.

3. Smarter Screening Means Better Tenants
Our thorough application process and powerful screening tools help us find the right renters, not just the first ones. In fact, we often have a waiting list of pre-qualified applicants ready to move in. With us, you can feel confident your property is in good hands from day one.
