Screening Better Tenants for Your Matthews Rental Property

Smart investors know that professional Matthews property managers like your team at Wess Cason Realty can attract high quality tenants who pay rent on time and take care of your property. We use our local expertise, industry knowledge, and a strong investment in technology and tools to conduct a thorough tenant screening before we place anyone in your rental home.

We conduct thorough background checks that include credit history reviews, verifying income, looking for past evictions and criminal records, and talking to current and former landlords. We want to know exactly who we’re moving into your property.

Fair and Compliant Application Processing and Review

Our marketing efforts at Wess Cason Realty are pretty intense and very strategic, so it’s never long before we begin to generate interest and field inquiries and calls from interested prospective tenants. We do a little pre-screening over the phone before we even show your property. We want to know when they want to move, what their budget is, whether they have pets, and why they’re looking for a new rental home.

After a prospective tenant has visited your home and asked us any follow-up questions, we invite them to complete an application. Any adult 18 years of age or older will be required to fill out a separate application and pay an application fee. It’s important that everyone is screened before a lease is offered.

We keep our process compliant with all state, federal, and local fair housing laws. Because we are automated and able to document everything, there can never be any claims of discrimination or unfair treatment. We know the fair housing laws and we understand the difference between a pet and a service animal. Our screening process is well-documented and few follow it consistently.

Before they apply, tenants are advised about our qualifying criteria and what we need to see in order to approve them. There are rarely any surprises.

What to Expect from Wess Cason Realty Tenant Screening

Our screening process has been developed over our many years of providing outstanding Matthews property management. It has resulted in lower vacancy and turnover rates for our owners, and successful rental experience for all parties. We rarely have to evict, and we have positive, professional working relationships with our tenants.

All of our screening is compliant with fair housing laws and designed to identify the most qualified tenants for your rental home. It includes examining backgrounds and rental histories. We make sure your tenants can afford the rent, and we look for residents who are communicative, transparent, and easy to work with.

Screening includes:

Reviewing credit history for on-time housing and utility payments.
Reviewing nationwide eviction records.
Checking for criminal histories.
Verifying income through employment contracts, pay stubs, tax forms.
Checking rental references from current and former landlords.

Landlords who place tenants without the benefit of professional property management resources often find they’re chasing down late rent payments and dealing with property damage after their residents leave. We protect your investment by screening thoroughly and rigorously.

Wess Cason Realty protects your property. We only work with the most highly qualified tenants.

Been renting from Wess Cason for 5 years. Thus far it has been a wonderful experience. Every single issue that comes up has been addressed quickly. My water heater went out on a sunday night, and maintenance was there to replace it at 9am the next morning. They have given excellent communication, and taken good care of me.

We owe all of our rental success over the last ten years to Wess Cason and his amazing staff. They have helped us every step of the way with our NC rental properties while we have been living in another state raising 5 kids!! They handle everything with a sense of urgency, kindness, and professionalism. Wess also has a plethora of resources and connections for every situation. Our tenants love working with Wess and his crew as well. A Win Win for all!!

I used Wess to sell my house in Matthews, NC. I had already moved when we listed the house, and Wess took care of everything. Wess was always responsive, very professional and genuinely a nice person. He is very knowledgeable about the Matthews area and found a buyer willing to pay full listing price. I definitely recommend Wess for anyone selling a house in Matthews, NC. Thanks again, Wess!

We have used Wess for 2 home purchases and selling our latest home. First time we purchased back in 2009 Wess was our Realtor, he did such a fantastic job that we called him to represent us in March 2019 to sell our home and buy a new home. Our home sold on 11 days. Wess is extremely detail oriented, very very responsive at all times to emails, texts and phone calls. I can truly say Wess made the entire process less stressful. I highly recommend Wess, I promise you, you won't regret working with Wess.

Wes Cason is a theif. As soon as your lease is done, they will get their friend at Ace Handman services to make them invoice. And bill it to the client and make you lose the security deposit. I left the house the same way I got it. To get charged for something that wasn’t there is theft. And my lawyer will be involved.

Do not use this person or firm for anything. They ripped us off on our security deposit for things we already done. We will put out an additional site and take them to court over this. We have all proof and witnesses. Stay away for this firm and anyone that works there.

Always had great communication until we moved out. Never received any update on our move out inspection no phone calls or emails. They charged us for things that we had took care of before moving out like retouch painting and washing the exterior of the house which we did. Anyways super unprofessional to never contact us about anything due or owed after moving out .... they had many bad reviews before when I checked last year ... seems they paid to wipe the slate clean now only having 7 reviews.....BEWARE!!
