My experience with Evernest has been great so far. They are very communicative, understanding, professional, able to advise without being pushy. I was very reluctant to hire a rental agency for my home, however, so far I am glad I did.

I live out of state and rely on Evernest to handle all matters regarding my rental. They are prompt, reliable, and very knowledgeable regarding all important issues and rental laws.

The onboarding process was straightforward and they found a renter fairly quickly. My property manager is excellent and gets back to me quickly whenever I have a question and resolves the issue.

Evernest has managed my properties for more than 10 years and I couldn’t be more pleased with their service. The team consistently provides excellent guidance on repairs, tenant concerns, and rent pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

A:

Typically, we can lease your rental property in as little as 30 days, provided the property is "rent-ready" and has no pending renovations. Once your home is vacant, we begin aggressively marketing to prospective residents across our website and all major platforms like Zillow, Trulia, and HotPads.

A:

Unlike many property management companies that outsource their vetting, Evernest utilizes an entirely in-house underwriting team. This allows us to perform a rigorous, data-driven review of every applicant—including identity verification and financial checks—to ensure we place only the highest-quality residents in your home.

A:

Absolutely. We offer a professional "Lease-Only" product specifically for DIY landlords. We handle the high-stakes work of marketing the home, screening the applicants, and executing a state-compliant lease; then, we hand the keys back to you to manage the day-to-day operations.

A:

To protect your interests and ensure a professional presentation, we require the property to be vacant and free of personal belongings. This allows our team to capture high-quality marketing assets and conduct the necessary walkthroughs to ensure the home is in peak condition for prospective residents.

A:

The two biggest factors are "price" and "product." Our local experts help you determine a competitive market price to attract the maximum number of applicants. Simultaneously, we ensure your "product" (the home) is presented in its best light to help secure a quality resident as quickly as possible.

A:

Yes. Whether you are a full-service management client or a Lease-Only client, our team ensures that all residents sign a state-compliant lease agreement. This protects you by ensuring all legal disclosures are included and that the lease strictly adheres to local and state landlord-tenant laws.

Professional Leasing Without the Management Commitment

We find your perfect resident, handle the paperwork, and hand back the keys.
