To achieve great results for our clients, it’s important to start with great tenants. At Beachwood Properties, we achieve this by using aggressive marketing and thorough tenant screening to locate the best renters available. We handle all aspects of property showing and application checks, and we’ll let you know once we’ve located a tenant who meets our stringent standards.

Marketing and Advertising

Marketing vacant rentals helps us to connect with potential tenants in Santa Cruz County. We syndicate our listings to over 50 local real estate sites. Once an interested tenant reaches out to us our team will schedule a property showing. The showing gives us an opportunity to highlight the amenities and key features of your home, as well as answer any questions the applicant may have. After the showing, we’ll invite interested parties to submit an application.

  • Rental Analysis to help determine the market rental rate for your property
  • Marketing photos of your property
  • Advertise the property on hundreds of websites including major sites like: Rentals.com, RentalHomesPlus.com, RentBits.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Craigslist.com, etc.
  • Place yard sign and lock box for showings
  • Take all of the calls and internet leads for your property and follow up
  • Personally conduct all of the property showings to prospective renters with our own employees
  • Handle any questions from potential tenants
  • Hand out all regulatory real estate disclosures to potential renters

Financial Background Checks

Employment and income verification is an important part of our screening process. We ask for financial records to ensure tenants have the means to make rent in full each month. As part of this process, we also conduct a comprehensive credit score check. Using this information, we can better determine how suitable an applicant may be for your rental property. We typically look for income of at least 2.5 times the monthly rent, as well as a credit score of 600 or higher.

Landlord References

Past behavior is a good indicator of what we can expect from applicants, which is why we request landlord references. As part of our reference check procedure, we’ll look for infractions like late or missed rent payments, evictions, or intentional vandalism of rental property. We may also uncover other relevant information such as noise complaints and general cleanliness.

Leasing Preparation

Once we locate qualified applicants for your rental property, we’ll handle the lease drafting and signing. Our leases protect you and your property to the fullest extent of the law, and we make sure to respect all local ordinances regarding the tenant-landlord relationship.
