Application Process

Thank you for your interest in one of our properties and allowing Intracoastal Realty the opportunity to provide rental services to you. To insure the process goes smoothly for all parties and that the governing laws of the North Carolina Real Estate Commission are met, the following guidelines are in effect for all applications.

Application Submission

• Application must be completed in its entirety and signed by all parties involved in the lease.
• All applicable fees must be paid in full at the time of application submission. We accept credit cards (Mastercard & Visa), money order and personal check only.
  • Single applicant $45.00
  • Married couple $75.00
  • Multiple applicants $45.00 each applicant
  • Guarantor/co-signer $30.00 each applicant

Application Processing

Upon receipt of completed application and applicable fees your application will be sent to processing. Applications remain in processing until the following requirements are completed:

• Employment/Income verification (If retired or unemployed, please provide a printed statement indicating the source and amount of income.) Please provide phone and fax numbers.
• Current and/or past landlord reference (including phone and fax numbers)
• Criminal , credit and background check

On average applications are sent to management for approval within 48 hours, provided all the information you provide is correct and can be verified. In the event that your information can not be verified as submitted, you may be asked to provide additional information to complete the processing.

Application Approval

Upon receipt of all required verifications and references applications will be sent to Management for approval. Once approved by management, the applicant will be notified that they are approved and arrangements for lease preparation and move-in will be made.

Multiple Applications

In the event a property that you have interest in has an application(s) currently in process at the time you submit your application, you will be told that we have an application in process. We encourage you to submit your application and to complete the approval process. If this property is taken before your application process is completed and approved, there are others to choose from and you will be able to move forward quickly.

Properties are not placed on hold or made unavailable to other applicants because an application is in process. It is our responsibility to the owner to make their property available to all applicants until an applicant is approved and has accepted the property.

In the event there are multiple applications processed and approved for a property, management will present all applications to the owner for review.

The application can be downloaded and fax to our office or you may complete the application online.
