Review the renter. Confirm a time.
Nmbr prepared the invitation. The owner's next step: review the renter's answers and choose a proposed time.
The invitation was not yet a confirmed booking. Qualified is a pre-screening status, not a completed background check.

Before you choose
Common questions.
Can a property manager find a tenant without managing my property?
Yes. Some offer tenant placement alone: marketing, showings and screening, then a handoff to you. Confirm that monthly management is optional and ask for the full fee.
Does Nmbr replace a property manager?
Nmbr handles leasing tasks, not ongoing management. You arrange access and formal screening, approve the tenant and sign. Rent collection, repairs and resident issues remain with you or your manager.
Can I use Nmbr if I live out of state?
Yes, if someone local can provide access and handle in-person work. Otherwise, choose a local placement service or property manager with that coverage.
Will Nmbr rent my home faster than a property manager?
We have no like-for-like market benchmark. Nmbr reduces listing and follow-up work, but rent, demand, condition and showing availability affect timing. The 28-day offer is a conditional refund, not a guaranteed leasing deadline.
Can I use Nmbr alongside a property manager?
Potentially. Nmbr is non-exclusive, but your manager's contract may not be. Agree on listing, inquiry and access responsibilities, and check for overlapping placement fees.
What happens when I start my listing?
It opens Nmbr's chat. Send your property address or Zillow link to begin. The leasing service costs $499 one-time per listing; you approve the tenant and sign.
