How a placement runs in Burnaby
A placement in Burnaby runs in five steps. We price against live comparable listings and submarket vacancy so the unit lists at a number that moves. We shoot and syndicate the listing where Burnaby renters search. We screen every applicant for credit, income, identity, eviction history, and landlord references. We present a short list of qualified candidates, not a pile of inquiries. Then we execute the lease and hand off a clean file.
