Free Rental Analysis!
Our market analysis helps landlords and us make data-informed decisions about their rental property, including rate estimates and other information so they can invest more wisely.
How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but feel it is important to get the RIGHT tenant versus the FAST tenant! Spending time up front and finding the BEST tenant for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.
Often times people think they just need to do a quick credit check and verify employment but there’s more to it than that. Our high quality tenant screening process digs deeper. We gather extensive information on the following...
- Credit Check
- Debt to income ratios
- Criminal history check
- Employment verification
- Eviction history check
- Previous landlord calls
Our screening process is not just based on a credit score only - we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant. This process has proven to be extremely successful.

as your Tampa Property Manager
01
Market Your Property
Our marketing experts review current market data and conditions to suggest a competitive rental rate for your property. We then use marketing tools such as the MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, and others to get your property rented as quickly as possible.
02
Screen All Applicants
With your rental business, it is important to remember that your property isn’t your only asset. Your tenant can also be an asset. Last year we screened approximately 400 applications - reviewing the applicant’s credit, rental and employment information. Leverage our experience to increase the odds of a favorable outcome for your rental business.
03
Prepare The Lease Agreement
We will prepare the lease agreement including addenda. The lease agreement and the county required “Tenant Bill of Rights” are then transmitted to all parties who will sign via “DocuSign”. Each party will then receive a fully executed copy of the lease agreement.
04
Collect Payments
We offer a variety of options for tenants to pay their rent and other charges - from in person to electronic funds transfers – we want to make it as easy as possible for your tenants to make their payments. After your tenant’s payment has cleared into our bank account, your owner net draw is sent to your bank account each month via eft. This eliminates the chance for it to get lost in the mail and saves you from waiting in line at your bank.
05
Address Maintenance Issues
Timely resolution of maintenance issues is critical to tenant retention and therefore vacancy loss reduction. We will address your properties maintenance issues during and after business hours, including weekends and holidays using only licensed and insured vendors. Only in the rarest of circumstances would a Home Locators representative interrupt your personal time.
06
Address Tenant Issues
Whenever possible, we work to find a solution with a late paying tenant to avoid a costly eviction. However, if we need to take things a step further, we will serve the required legal notices and coordinate the process with an eviction attorney on your behalf.
07
Renew Your Tenants
Towards the end of the lease agreement, and after taking into consideration the tenants payment history, we may approach your tenant with a renewal offer. This offer will be made after discussing the current market data and conditions with you. We will then prepare the lease agreement including addenda. The lease agreement and the county required “Tenant Bill of Rights” are then transmitted to all parties who will sign via “DocuSign”. Each party will then receive a fully executed copy of the lease agreement.
08
Handle Your Tenants Security Deposit
Your tenant’s security deposit will be held per Florida Statute. Upon tenant move out, your property will be reviewed. If necessary, we will charge your tenants security deposit for damages caused by them (as determined by us), within the timeframe as provided by Florida statute.
09
Financial Reporting
Monthly and annual owner statements provide a record of your property’s financial performance by unit as well as by portfolio. Included are income, expense and owner draw categories. We offer 24/7 access to this information via an online secure owner portal. Additionally, we issue vendor 1099’s at year end.
10
Review Your Property
We periodically perform exterior property reviews. A more comprehensive interior and exterior property review is performed by an independent 3rd party company annually.
