Are you looking to rent out an apartment but not sure where to start? Perhaps you're struggling to find the right person to entrust with the keys to your home? Our Engel & Völkers real estate agents are ready to assist you professionally in finding the perfect tenant. If you're curious about how they manage to find the perfect signer for your lease agreement, we'll give you a brief behind-the-scenes look at the property leasing process, Engel & Völkers style.
Firstly, Engel & Völkers real estate agencies have access to an exclusive international client network that plays a crucial role in selecting a reliable tenant suitable for your property.
You might wonder what elements an experienced agent focuses on when searching for the perfect tenant. We posed this question to qualified Real Estate Agent Matteo Albano, who, reflecting on Engel & Völkers' modus operandi, provided us with a concise explanation.
The first focus is placed on careful pre-selection of candidates, during which special value is given to specific requirements such as:
1.
Financial Solvency: Means ensuring that the potential tenant has the ability to meet financial commitments. This involves verifying their actual liquidity and their ability to make timely payments in the long term.
2.
Credentials: Has the candidate been in the area for a while and has reliable contacts? Can they provide some form of guarantee? This brings us closer to the goal of establishing a stable and secure lease agreement.
3.
Reliability: An experienced agent can assess the seriousness and reliability of a candidate, allowing you to place your full trust in them without worrying about unpleasant surprises in the future.
In general, a good candidate is one who is predisposed to collaboration and honest communication with both the owner and the agent to potentially establish a long-term lease agreement. Another favorable characteristic to consider is a positive rental and credit history.
Once the best candidates are selected, it's the agents' responsibility to present them to the property owners so that the final decision can be made objectively, while also considering the impressions generated by each potential tenant. This is because we strongly believe that our real estate agents possess a strong sense of empathy and intuition developed through years of professional experience in the field.
Equally important is the moment of formalizing the agreement, which is reached through a legally compliant lease contract capable of protecting both parties.
