Full Investigative Background Checks Make the Difference!

At Team Athey & Remarkable Property Management, we go the extra step with full investigative background checks on potential tenants. Because we know that sometimes bad things happen to good people. It is our goal to give you the total picture so you can make an educated decision about whether they will be a good match for your property.

At Remarkable Property Management, we don’t stop with just a cursory background search of financial and public records. We dig deeper to understand what may have happened to a potential good tenant. And that can make all the difference for everyone involved. 

For example, one of our landlord’s tenants had a bad spot on their history. The tenant explained they had been hospitalized from a car accident and had gotten behind on their bills during this time. 


Through a full investigative background check, we were able to confirm that the tenant’s story was true. We were able to view the sequence of events unfold just as the tenant described them through accessing their credit reported history, rental history, and bank statements. We could also see that outside of this one-time period, the tenant had a very good history. As a result, the landlord accepted them as a tenant and has been very pleased with the relationship. 


At Team Athey, we manage more than 300 single family homes along with select commercial properties. And we’re proud to say we have built each of those relationships one landlord at a time. Getting to know not only each of their property’s unique needs, but each of their individual tenant’s special stories. Each application is treated fairly, ethically and complies with all federal, state, and local laws. 

I’m Suzanne Athey, the founder of Team Athey & Remarkable Property Management. If you’d like to know more about the unique way we do business, call me at 469-916-1222 or email me at suzanne@teamathey.com. I’d love to visit with you and answer all your leasing questions.
