Accept/Decline

Accept/Decline is a free service which uses an applicants credit in conjunction with the price of the apartment or house to make a recommendation about whether to accept or decline an applicant or set of applicants for your rental property. In addition, it will give you a recommended security deposit. I created Accept/Decline to give my office a quick, effective, and consistent way of making good business decisions regarding tenant applications. I started using the model for Accept/Decline in 1997, and I refined it over the years to become a final product in 2003.

Your belief in this product is only as good as your belief in me and my credentials for creating this product. I am a real estate broker who has 17 years experience managing income property. I currently manage 670 units in 25 different locations. The price of the units range from $600 to $5,000. My company processes approximately 1,000 applications per year. Our vacancies run between 0-3%, and we collect an average of 97%-99% of outstanding rent each month. I attribute much of the success to Accept/Decline. I created Accept/Decline to deal with real situations in the real world. My line of thinking is to make money on my client’s investment. If I accept an applicant who doesn’t pay rent, that is not good for my client; if I let an apartment sit vacant for a month waiting for the perfect applicants, that is not good for my client either.

Do you need Accept/Decline for that applicant who has 40 lines of positive credit and nothing negative? No. The same is true with the applicant who has an eviction and lots of negative credit. However, what Accept/Decline is best for is the not so obvious applicant.

By using Accept/Decline, it is like having me looking over your shoulder, using my 17 years of experience to guide you on what to do about a specific applicant, or set of applicants.

Please note, Accept/Decline does not check credit . You must have a copy of your applicant’s credit and unlawful detainer (UD) report in order to use Accept/Decline.

So sign up for Accept/Decline and start maximizing your income, and minimizing your risk.
