For Washington landlords
Leasing services, and everything after it
We price, market, show and screen, then sign the lease and hand over the keys. After move-in, we keep managing the home: rent, repairs, renewals. Leasing is where our full-service management starts.

How we lease a home
From an empty rental to a signed lease, in six steps.
Price the rent
We look at what similar homes nearby are renting for right now. Your free rental analysis is the starting point.
Market the home
Your home goes up on our site and the major rental sites Washington renters use.
Show it
Renters book a showing online, so nobody waits on a call back.
Screen applicants
Every applicant is checked against the same published criteria.
Sign the lease
The lease is written for Washington law and your city's rules.
Move in
We document the home's condition and handle the deposit properly, so move-out goes smoothly too.
After the lease is signed
We don't lease a home and walk away. The team that found your resident also collects the rent, handles repairs, prices the renewal and manages move-out. Then we lease it again.
Thinking about a placement-only service instead? See how it compares.
Washington rules, handled
Washington's Residential Landlord-Tenant Act governs screening, leases, deposits, repairs, notices and ending a tenancy. Seattle, Tacoma and Bellingham add rules of their own on screening, registration, notices and rent changes.
With placement only, keeping up with them after move-in falls to you. With full management, we handle it.
This page explains what we do, not legal advice. Specific requirements depend on the property's city and the current law.
Questions landlords ask
What do your leasing services include?
Pricing the rent, marketing the home, showings, screening applicants against our published criteria, a Washington-compliant lease and a documented move-in. Leasing is part of our full-service management, so it continues into rent collection, repairs, renewals and move-out.
Can I hire you just to lease my rental?
No. The Joseph Group offers full-service management only. We lease the homes we manage, so we're still responsible for your resident after they move in. Here's how that compares to placement.
How do you decide what rent to charge?
From what comparable homes nearby are leasing for now. The free rental analysis shows you that number before you decide.
How do you choose the resident?
Every applicant is screened against our published screening criteria, applied the same way every time, in line with fair housing law and local rules.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the service package you choose. Our packages are on the pricing page, and a free rental analysis shows what your home can earn before you decide.
What will your rental earn?
Our free rental analysis (we call it the Right Price Promise) shows what your home should rent for today. Every lease we sign starts here.
