How We Screen Your Rental Applicants

We work hard to find the right tenant for your investment

At Hawks Property Management, our goal isn’t just to fill a vacancy—it’s to find the right tenant for your investment. We believe that placing the best-qualified renter from the start leads to a smoother experience, fewer issues, and stronger long-term returns.

Many people assume that screening tenants is simply about pulling a credit report or confirming a job—but we go far beyond the basics. Our in-depth screening process is designed to uncover the full story behind each applicant, including:

Comprehensive credit check
Employment and income verification
Debt-to-income ratio analysis
Eviction history
Nationwide criminal background screening (outside of Seattle)
Sex Offender registry screening
References from previous landlords

We don’t rely solely on numbers. Our approach looks at the full applicant profile to ensure they’re financially stable, responsible, and a good fit for the property. This proven system significantly reduces risk and helps protect your investment from costly turnover or disputes.
