Welcome Home.

The four houses shown here are well-designed, well-maintained, and realistically priced. They all require a minimum commitment of 1-year. On this website you can find photos and info about them any time of day or night.

THESE HOUSES ARE DIFFERENT…

Have you toured a few Asheville rentals and been dismayed how tired and neglected they look? Do you sometimes get the impression that landlords don’t have to do as much maintenance in a tight rental market? Well, the houses on this website are different; they are not managed by a ‘bad-cop’ rental agency, focused only on their bottom line.

These houses were built between 2004 and 2007. They were specifically designed and built to be rentals.  These houses show pride of ownership — they are owner-managed and kept maintained; the appliances all work and the owner/landlord is local. Before new tenants move in, the paint is freshened up, the decks are stained and the shrubs are trimmed.

On this website you will find photos, maps, info about touring, rental terms, a downloadable application, info about the landlord,  a fee sched. and even a list of amenities and FAQs for each house. 

BUT THERE ARE ONLY FOUR…

Since our tenants tend to stick around for a few years, these houses come available infrequently. So when a vacancy arises the interested party to available house ratio is about 30:1. So ultimately, this website is a filter; ‘interested parties‘ who do no due-diligence are almost indistinguishable from spam, and uh, what do you do with spam?

Most of our tenants have four things in common; they have no more than 2 cars, no more than 4 sentient beings under roof, not more than 2 bread winners and they do their due-diligence. If this does not describe you/your family/possé, then the competition for these houses will be stiff.

PETS

Happy news for pet owners; the houses on this site are pet-friendly. A refundable and a non-refundable pet deposit are required to host a dog or cat. Sorry we don’t host ferrets, rabbits, alligators, etc..

HERE’S HOW TO RENT ONE…

Every year, a hand-full of people contact us from out-of-town/state who want to rent a house in Asheville, but can’t make it to town. They ask if a friend or some in-laws, who live closer, can come by and tour for them, followed by a Skype chat to make introductions, etc.. Sorry, this is not how we do business; we put a very high a premium on superior tenant relations, so we like interested parties to tour a house in person before we process their application. There is nothing that can replace a face-to-face meeting, and a proper handshake.

TOURS

Out of respect for our current tenants, we try to limit tours to just a few per week. Tours commence about 5 weeks before the lease expires. Interested parties should consider a drive-by to check out the location/ neighborhood. Emails from potential renters indicating that they have already done a drive by (or at least read that they should) are assumed to be serious inquiries.
