Tenant Screening

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

At SOWN Realty Group, we believe in placing the right tenants — not just the fastest ones. While speed is important, long-term success comes from finding residents who respect your property and meet our high standards. That’s why we take a thorough, people-first approach to screening.

Many assume tenant screening is just a quick credit check and employment verification. We know it takes more. Our detailed process looks at the full picture to minimize risk and set the stage for a smooth rental experience.

Our screening includes:

  • Full credit check
  • Verified employment and income
  • Verified rental history
  • Nationwide eviction history
  • Criminal background screening (Where allowed)
  • References from past landlords

Rather than relying solely on a credit score, we evaluate each applicant holistically. This approach has helped us place qualified, reliable tenants — giving you peace of mind and better returns.
