What to Expect When Working with a Frisco Leasing Agent to Find a Tenant

Summary: Leasing a property involves far more than posting an ad and collecting rent. This blog walks Frisco landlords through the full process a leasing agent follows—from pricing and marketing to screening and move-in—to secure a quality tenant with minimal hassle.

Hiring a leasing agent should simplify the rental process—not complicate it. Whether you’re a first-time landlord or a seasoned investor in Frisco, knowing what to expect from your leasing agent helps you stay informed, avoid delays, and make smart decisions.

Step 1: Property Evaluation and Market Rent Analysis

Your agent begins by touring your property, evaluating its condition, and reviewing upgrades, layout, and location. They then conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) using recent rental comps in your area to determine a competitive rent price.

Benefits of agent-led pricing:

• Avoids overpricing that leads to long vacancies

• Protects against underpricing and lost revenue

• Accounts for current demand, seasonality, and amenities

Step 2: Professional Marketing Setup

Once pricing is confirmed, the agent prepares the listing with:

• Professional photography that highlights space and lighting

• MLS listing and syndication to Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Apartments.com

• Targeted social media ads and digital campaigns

• Yard signage and lead tracking systems

This ensures your rental gets maximum visibility across the platforms where qualified tenants are actually searching.

Step 3: Tenant Inquiry Management and Showings

The agent handles all incoming calls, messages, and online inquiries. They screen basic information (move-in date, income, pets) to pre-qualify tenants before setting up private showings.

Showings are scheduled for efficiency and safety, and often include:

• Lockbox access control or agent-accompanied tours

• Highlighting key features of the home

• Addressing questions and screening during the visit

Step 4: Full Tenant Screening Process

Once an applicant expresses interest, the leasing agent conducts a multi-step screening process that includes:

• Credit report analysis

• Background and criminal check

• Employment and income verification

• Rental history and landlord references

• Debt-to-income ratio assessment

This reduces your risk of late payments, evictions, or lease violations.

Step 5: Lease Preparation and Legal Compliance

The agent drafts a legally binding lease using Texas Association of REALTORS® (TAR) forms or other state-compliant templates. This ensures all terms are enforceable and fair.

Leases include:

• Rent amounts, due dates, and grace periods

• Security deposit terms

• Pet agreements

• Maintenance responsibilities

• HOA rules (if applicable)

• Notice periods and renewal clauses

Step 6: Move-In Coordination

After lease signing, your leasing agent oversees the final steps to ensure a smooth handoff.

This includes:

• First month’s rent and deposit collection

• Key handoff or access code programming

• Utility transfer reminders

• Move-in condition checklist with timestamped photos

Step 7 (Optional): Post-Move-In Support

Many full-service leasing agents offer additional support such as:

• Lease renewal reminders

• Assistance with maintenance vendor contacts

• Ongoing communication with tenants (as needed)

Real Stats Supporting Agent-Managed Leasing:

• Agent-listed homes lease 23–30% faster than FSBO listings

• Homes with full screening experience 40% fewer lease breaks

• Tenants placed by licensed agents are over 2x more likely to pay on time
