Our application system is operated through a third-party software provider, and some fields—such as Social Security numbers and ID—are optional. We understand not everyone is comfortable providing that information before viewing a property, which is why we do not require it at the initial stage. The purpose of completing the application in advance is simply to confirm who will be viewing the property, ensure the property is a good fit for the applicant, and help streamline the process should you decide to move forward. This step has proven helpful and efficient for many applicants, especially in a competitive rental market.
We also understand that the software malfunction you experienced was frustrating. Unfortunately, we do not control the functionality of the third-party platform, but we have passed along similar issues in the past to help improve their service.
Our Office Administrator did speak with you and explained our policies. At no point did we decide that you were “not worth showing” the property to. We take pride in being responsive and professional, and we work very hard to manage our properties and show them to qualified applicants. The suggestions that we are lazy or operating a scam are simply not accurate. We have been a family-run business in Sonoma County for decades and maintain many long-term relationships with owners, tenants, and community partners.
We respect your decision not to proceed with the application, and we genuinely wish you the best in your housing search. If you have further questions or concerns, we are always happy to discuss them directly.
