Episode 161: Leasing and Fraud: Everything Property Owners Need to Know (Brett Drevlow)

Episode 161: Leasing and Fraud: Everything Property Owners Need to Know (Brett Drevlow)

In this episode of The Evernest Property Management Show, Evernest's Director of Leasing, Brett Drevlow, joins Spencer Sutton and Matthew Whitaker for an in-depth conversation on what's required to lease rental properties in 2025.

Brett highlights the importance of overcoming tenant objections, building trust, and using data-driven pricing strategies. His leasing team handles ~350-400 move-ins monthly, communicating mainly via phone and strategically handing off leads through stages from contact center to underwriting and move-in coordination. He emphasizes thorough tenant screening to combat fraud, which ranges from 7-12% of applications, and the need for consistent communication with property managers to inform owners about market trends and pricing adjustments. This discussion underscores leasing as both an art and a science requiring competent, empathetic management to secure quality tenants and protect owner investments.

You'll Learn:

  • How to work around the limitations that common comp software misses
  • Why having a pool or a huge yard doesn't mean your property will rent
  • What to do when faced with the most common objections potential renters have
  • The secret to unlocking consistent leases
  • The technology Evernest leverages to maximize its leasing process
