How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

Placerville Tenant Screening

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.

Oftentimes 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
  • Employment verification
  • Debt to income ratios
  • Eviction history check
  • Criminal 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.

  • “We wanted to thank you for our pleasant experience with you over the last 2+ years. When we first met, we appreciated that you understood our difficult situation. And again these last 2 months you have been very kind and patient concerning our circumstances. I think in real estate it’s hard to find someone who genuinely cares, and we really value all of your hard work. We wish you the best and will always let anyone know who is looking for a home, that you are the go to guy!”

  • “Thank You Steve! We had looked for a home for approximately 6 months and could not find any rentals and when we meet Steve is a very nice man he helped us find a home that we love, within the same week we met him. Steve strives to protect the renters as well as the landlords and I like the way he does business and I would recommend anyone who is looking for rentals to rent from Placerville Realty.”

    S. Howard
  • “The place we were living was being sold but Steve and Graeme were wonderful and we ended up moving across the street into another unit. It's never easy or stress free to move, but this one was definitely the easiest move we've ever had thanks to Placerville Realty and their flexibility. Looking forward to the continuance of our rental relationship. Thank you!”

  • “I still think you are the best property manager in El Dorado county and very kind in general. I will not hesitate to refer you.”

    Nicole
  • “When my now-wife and I first moved to Placerville over a year ago, Steve worked with us thoroughly to make the rental property experience a pleasant one. He was so good to work with in our first townhouse, that we turned to him again this year to help us move into a house nearby. Every experience with him and Placerville Realty has been nothing but positive.”

    Shaun R.
  • “Thank you for being a wonderful company to go through for apartment rental. The cabin is cute and quaint and has wonderful neighbors!”

    Michelle J.
  • “From the first inquiry, through the process of applying, viewing the unit and ultimately signing the contract and moving in, Steve and his team were wonderful. All the terms were clearly stated, and any questions that arose were met with clear and prompt responses. I turned in a short list of items that needing attending to and their wonderful maintenance team was quick and efficient in getting them fixed when it worked for me. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property management company. Great job, and way to set a precedent for other companies to strive towards.”

    Heather A.
  • “We are newbies in renting our property in Placerville. No longer living in the area, it was very important to us to have a property manager we could rely on and that we trusted. After interviewing most property managers in the Placerville area, we chose Steve Baker. He and his staff helped in our transition in leaving our home and preparing it for tenants. He has been immediately responsive, efficient and thorough in all we agreed on to handle our property. He has a friendly nature and good sense of humor which contributes to our good business relationship!”

    Richard & Brenda V.
  • “My husband and I have rented 2 homes from Placerville Realty in the last 7 years. If you are looking for an honest, hardworking and dependable property manager, you will find him in Steve Baker. We highly recommend Placerville Realty for their fairness, reliability and vast knowledge concerning all areas of property management.”

  • “My husband and I have worked with Placerville Realty for 16 years. They have consistently kept our property in Placerville rented... and when necessary… they screen and place new tenants in record time. Due to their excellent screening process…we’ve had good, long-term tenants. Any issues are always taken care of quickly…and this is a real plus…since we live in Oregon. Five+ star rating.”

    Heidi S.
  • “As a San Francisco property manager I appreciate Placerville Realty's all business approach to taking care of my properties. I get a timely statement and check. If any issues arise he uses a well-qualified team of professionals to address inevitable repair and maintenance matters promptly. I feel fortunate his services are available.”

    Chris
  • “I have had Steve and Graeme as property managers for my home in Diamond Springs for the last 4 years and they have done an excellent job of allowing me to be a hands off homeowner. They have kept the home rented and when we have had a change of tenants, they quickly found new ones so that it did not go vacant. They have also handled the occasional repair seamlessly and professionally. I would highly recommend this company to any landlord who does not wish to manage the day to day responsibilities of looking after their investment property. Placerville Realty was recommended by my real estate agent and I am grateful for their recommendation.”

    Paul
  • “My suggestion is use Placerville Realty as an absentee owner Steve has been able to get me top rental income for over 10 years. As any owner I love to hear how much income I get but Steve also let's you know what preventive maintenance needs to be done to the property in order to get good tenants. The last tenants who moved out left the home in excellent condition hiring professional cleaners. Steve also has his own contractors to do any maintenance work the tenants needs to pay for due to their negligence. I have been extremely happy with Placerville Realty!”
