Co-Broke Instructions to Present a Lease Offer to GTF
In an effort to expedite approval of your client and to Get There First please follow these guidelines when presenting an offer.
- A separate TAR application is needed for each individual 18 or over that will stay in the property along with a $40 application fee PER PERSON. No cash or checks accepted - only money orders, cashier check or payment via GTF on-line credit/debit payment portal at www.dfwlandlord.com will be accepted for the application fees.
TAR Application - A copy of current Drivers License or Approved Government picture ID must be presented for each adult applicant 18 or over, at the time of application.
- The application should contain easy contact numbers for the last 2 years of landlord rental references. This should include the previous landlord's cell phone number if possible. Be sure to see if this is completed so we can obtain rental history easily for your client.
- If your client is self employed proof of income is still required. A tax return and bank statements will usually prove income for our owners.
- Credit and criminal reports will be obtained and if there are no problems the stated security deposit (usually equal to one month) in the listing is all that is required. The security deposit is due with clearable funds when the lease is signed meaning the amount must be verifiable if not presented as money order, cashier check or payment via GTF on-line credit/debit payment portal. Until that time the property will remain on the market. Any credit or criminal issues may cause decline of the application or necessity to pay a double or additional security deposit. Be prepared for this.
- Pets are usually accepted and the additional deposit is $250 per pet. These need to be disclosed with offer and additional deposit amounts paid before move in.
- Applicants with defective credit, rental history, or criminal may be considered with additional deposit requirements. Just bring in the offer and let us do the rest.
- Your commission will be paid at move in when the first month's rent is paid. Make sure applicants are aware that a FULL month rent is due at move-in date and any prorated amount is calculated for the second months rent amount due. All we need is your broker’s name, address, Fed ID# and RE License #. GTF is very fast at paying bills.
