01 · Who decides what

You set the strategy. We bring the tools and do the work.

Most placement services want you to hand over the keys and trust them. We built this one for owners who like to make their own calls. Every decision below is yours. Pick one and see what we do to make it a good one.

You decide

The asking rent, and whether it ever changes.

We handle

Local comparables and a written recommendation before you list, then a market update every 7 to 10 days on market, so each call you make is an informed one.

02 · À la carte

Take the whole placement, or only the pieces you need.

Already have a photographer, or a lease you like? Keep it. We fill in the rest.

Rent analysis

Local comparables, demand and a recommended asking rent, in writing.

Make-ready inspection

A photographed walkthrough and punch list, so the home shows well on day one.

Photos and listing

Professional photos and a listing published across the major rental sites.

Showings

Scheduling and showings, with feedback from the people who saw the home.

Screening

Credit, criminal history, income and rental history, measured against your written standards.

Lease and move-in

Lease preparation and signatures, certified funds, and a photo move-in inspection.

Vacant home care

Checks every two weeks while the home is on the market, so it never looks empty.

03 · How a placement works

Six steps from vacant to handed off.

  1. 01
    Sign up

    Tell us about the home. Your onboarding form arrives by email, and your account manager calls within one business day.

  2. 02
    Get it ready

    A field inspection within 48 hours of your form, with photos and a punch list you approve.

  3. 03
    Go live

    Photos, listing and showings. You hear from us the day it goes live, with our pricing recommendation.

  4. 04
    Watch the market

    Every 7 to 10 days on market, an update on interest and showings, and a recommendation. You decide.

  5. 05
    Choose your resident

    We screen every applicant against your standards. You pick from the ones who qualify.

  6. 06
    Hand off

    Lease signed, funds certified, move-in inspected. You get the lease, the ledger and the deposit, and we introduce you to your resident.

04 · Why owners use it

You keep control. We take the risk out of the hard parts.

Vacancy is the expensive part

Every week a home sits empty costs more than most owners budget for. A home priced from real data, shown well and marketed widely rents faster, and the price is still yours to set.

Screening is where self-managing gets risky

One bad placement can cost a year of rent. We've screened applicants for 20 years, and fewer than 1% of our residents have ever been evicted.

Your choice, protected

Fair housing laws apply to every rental. We put your standards in writing before the listing goes live and hold every applicant to the same ones. You choose among the people who qualify, which is what keeps the choice yours.

05 · Your placement, in numbers

Decisions this important deserve real data.

You hear from us at every step: the day you go live, every 7 to 10 days on market with interest, showings and how comparable homes are moving, and a plain summary of every qualified applicant.

We build our own software, and owner tools for placement are on the way: live listing performance, pricing comparisons and applicant summaries in one place.

Every placement includes
  • A written rent recommendation before you list
  • A note the day the listing goes live
  • Market updates every 7 to 10 days on market
  • Screening summaries against your written standards
  • Signed lease, resident ledger and deposit at handoff
