Centre Realty Group rental agents utilize the most up to date technology and communication methods, as well as the most extensive rental database in the metro area to ensure that your rental experience is a positive one.
The first step in the rental process is to establish a set of realistic guidelines and parameters to work with throughout your home search. Our agents are trained to discuss your needs in depth to ensure we are working with you to find the best apartment for you. The next step is to meet with one of our leasing associates and view property that fits the criteria of your search. A knowledgeable CRG rental agent will help familiarize you with current rental market conditions and assist you in finding the property that best suits your needs.
CRG focuses on client satisfaction and believes that strong customer service is the most important factor in creating a successful rental experience.
Selection Process
It is recommended that you always enter the selection process with some form of payment ready to secure a home. The rental market is highly competitive and a day, even hours, can determine whether or not a property will remain available. In the case that you come across a desired property CRG’s job is to ensure that you are able to secure it. To begin this process you will need to complete a rental application and remit a deposit (signed with fee disclosure). Acceptable forms of payment are check, money order, cash, debit card, credit card, or wire transfer.
Application Process
Once you have found a home that satisfies all of your needs and have decided you want to rent it, the next step is to secure the apartment. Please keep in mind that competition within the rental market for nice properties is fierce and securing the apartment in a timely manner is imperative. At the time of the application you will typically be asked to submit a deposit of a minimum of one month’s rent and to provide current and former landlord contact information, current and former employer contact information (please inform them that someone from CRG will be contacting them), and a credit reference.
Approval Process
The ultimate decision regarding acceptance lies with the property owner or management company. They will be provided with your rental application and deposit, along with all applicable reference checks. The approval process will usually range from hours to days, depending on the amount of time required to check references. Once the application is accepted, the final steps in the apartment rental process are executed.
