Market Analysis
We conduct a thorough market analysis of our clients’ home to ensure they are getting the most return on investment. We use private, public and internal databases to develop a sample size of comparable product that has rented within a specific radius of your home over the last 365 days.

We work closely with our clients to draft and execute all leasing documents. We conclude the onboarding process with a complete administrative audit of your file, including the upload of all of your insurance and warranty information, service agreements, rules, utility structure, and lead paint forms. We also get to know the charming quirks of your home.

We use ShowMojo to syndicate your listing across every major rental listing platform on the internet. Wherever tenants are searching for housing online, they’ll find your listing. We also publish listings on our own website, which consistently ranks on the top page of Google for keywords like “DC rentals”.
Showing Availability 7 Days a Week
A seamless scheduling experience and a full time team of agents
We employ a large team of full-time leasing agents who conduct tours 7 days a week! We understand time is of the essence when it comes to filling a vacancy, so there will never be a missed opportunity due to scheduling limitations.
Streamlined Tenant Screening

We use an online tenant screening platform that is fully compliant with the DC area’s regulations, and prospective tenants can submit an application online in minutes. We capture their full credit, criminal, and eviction history and send you a summary for approval. Homeowners always get to choose their own tenants.
Impress potential tenants
by virtually staging your home
Use the slider below to see a before/after for our virtual staging:
Whether you have a studio apartment or a 7-bedroom home, we provide virtual staging for all of our rental listings at no additional cost. Virtual staging helps tenants visualize the possibilities of a living space, while also ensuring that your listing stands out from the competition. In a market with more competing inventory than ever before, we pull out all the stops to give your listing an edge.
Create High-Precision 2D Floor Plans
Floor plans are uncommon in the single family home rental space, but are extremely helpful for tenants in terms of planning furnishings and understanding the space, especially if they’re touring virtually from outside the DC Area (as is the case with many DC renters). We create hi-fidelity black and white schematic floor plans with linear measurement accuracy within 2% in adherence with the RICS standard (the unified “rulebook” for architectural measurement).

Frequently Asked Questions
Our leasing fee is based on a formula and equates to one month’s rent for a 12-month lease. For a precise quote or portfolio discount, please contact our team and we’ll be happy to discuss your specific situation and run the numbers for you.
We run a comprehensive comparative market analysis (CMA) when evaluating pricing for a new client. This involves analyzing comps from public sources (i.e. Zillow), private sources (BrightMLS), high-level market data from Rentometer, and our internal portfolio data from over 3,000 properties that we’ve leased. We’ll take into account all the little details that make your home unique, within the context of the broader market, and arrive at a price that achieves a balance of maximizing ROI and minimizing the risk of vacancy loss.
Our “standard” media package is the most enhanced media package available in the DC Area market. All of our rental listings, whether it’s a $1,300 studio unit or a $13k single family home, get the full red carpet treatment in terms of media. You’ll get professional photos, a video showcase, a Matterport virtual tour package (including 3D model and 2D schematic floor plans), and virtual staging.
All occupants 18 years or older must submit a rental application which includes income verification, credit history, criminal history, and rental history. The homeowner makes the final decision on approval or denial of an applicant. We’ll present all application details to you so you can make an informed decision on the right tenant for your property.
Yes, we do offer standalone leasing services for specific properties. We encourage most clients to use both our leasing and management services, as we can offer discounts for full service, but we will be happy to discuss options with you and come up with a winning package that meets your needs.
Not at all! We have an exceptional in-house photographer that will capture your home to showcase its best features. Our photographer will also handle HDR editing, Matterport virtual tour creation (including 3D renderings and schematic floor plans) and video showcase creation. We also provide virtual staging on an as-needed basis at no additional charge. However, if you happen to already have photos that you’d prefer to use, that’s certainly fine too.
Time is of the essence! Once you sign an agreement with Nomadic, we’ll kick off the process immediately. Our photographer is typically available within 24-48 hours after the agreement is executed, and we can publish your listing within 24-48 hours after the photo shoot. Assuming your property is in market-ready condition, this means we can typically have your rental listing published across all platforms within just 3-4 days after engaging our services.
We leverage the best technology and a highly skilled team of leasing professionals to secure high quality tenants faster than the competition. Our specialized structure allows us to offer over 250 hours of showings every week, utilizing our team of agents 7 days/week, so an opportunity is never missed to show a prospect your home.
We syndicate our rental listings across dozens of online rental platforms, and our list of syndication partners is constantly expanding. Our syndication partners currently include, but are not limited to: Zillow, Apartments.com, Hotpads, Trulia, Rentals.com, Zumper, CollegePads, RentDigs, Realtor.com, Rentable, ApartmentAdvisor, RentHop, Locanto, RentalSource, and many others.
In addition, your listing will be published on the Nomadic website. Our own rental search page gets thousands of hits per month and ranks on the top page of Google (often above many of the heavy hitters mentioned above) for keywords such as “DC rentals” and “house rentals in DC”.
Yes, we kick off the showing process while a property is occupied, to minimize the risk of vacancy to the greatest extent possible. We’ll coordinate with the current occupant (whether that’s you or your tenant) to conveniently schedule tours with minimal disruption.
Vacancy projections will vary depending on a number of factors including the product type, location, and time of year. Typically we encourage landlords to budget for one month of vacancy between tenancies, just to be on the safe side–that said, we beat that conservative projection very frequently. We are one of the only companies in the industry who facilitates next-day move-ins; at least 100 times a year, we coordinate a move-in for a new tenant the very next day after the prior tenant moves out! We can analyze vacancy projections for your specific situation, so please reach out to schedule a discovery call and we’ll get into the details together.
Of course! We’ll not only find great tenants for you, but we’ll also get them signed up. We coordinate the entire leasing process end-to-end, with the final step being lease administration. We’ll draft an airtight lease agreement for you, ensuring full compliance with laws in your jurisdiction while maintaining maximum protections for you as the landlord. Leases are signed by tenants via e-signature and are countersigned by you as the landlord, to ensure you get final say before a lease is official and binding.
Yes, we’re equipped with a very capable 24/7 leasing hotline. 97% of callers speak with a live human within 20 seconds of calling! Prospective renters want to feel assured that they can reliably get in touch with someone at their management company, so we do our best to give a great first impression, and that starts with picking up the phone every time.
