✍🏼 Apply First

All applicants 18+ must complete a rental application before viewing properties. Everyone is financially responsible unless classified as an occupant (children/dependents).

Before we schedule any home showings and to provide you with the best service, we'll first need:


Rental criteria (so I understand exactly what you're looking for)

Rental application (Downloaded and sent it back to my email juanpedrosallc@gmail.com)


Once these are complete, I'll create a personalized home search and we'll begin touring properties that match your goals.

  • Completed rental application
