Our rigorous tenant screening process combines credit checks, employment verification, criminal background reviews, and landlord references. With 50+ years of experience, we use third-party verification to place qualified tenants while maintaining compliance with Texas property code requirements.
Property Inspections
We conduct initial and move-out inspections personally, documenting property condition through video. Annual third-party inspections with photo documentation help track property status and maintenance needs while maintaining objective records for owners.

60 days before lease expiration, we analyze local market conditions using subdivision-specific comparables. Our pricing strategy considers property quality, tenant reliability, and seasonal factors to maximize returns while maintaining 95%+ occupancy rates.
Maintenance Coordination
We manage a network of licensed contractors for property maintenance and repairs. As we receive no financial benefit from repair costs, owners receive competitive pricing while we maintain quality control through direct oversight of service delivery.

Before you lease a property from them, read this review along with several others. The house we leased at 116 Blue Willow was mediocre at best. The house itself has several issues and the neighborhood is full of loud speeding cars and motorcycles driving by at all hours of the day/night. It was in ok condition when we moved in, given its a rental property. Upon moving out, they expected it in excellent condition and kept $300 from my deposit for nonsense reinspection charges and cleaning fees!

In 1968, my parents purchased our first new house from George Tucker. Now, 54 years later, I am the one that's still using their services. How's that for dependability and reliability?

As I was renting, I must admit they took care of the several problems I had with the property ( 153 N. Willow Way in Cibolo ). How ever, when my lease was nearing it's end, I gave them more than a 30 notice that I would not be renewing as I was moving to Florida. I specifically asked for a walk through before we left but was informed that they don't do that and it would be done after we moved out. I was upset, but what could I do. Well after 30 days they returned my deposit. $301 out of a $3,300 deposit. Thieves, unsavory practices. Do not trust this company to refund your deposit. Beware.

ERA Tucker was a great landlord. They made our move in process simple and easy, and they were always responsive and attentive to our every request. I will definitely refer them to anyone I know who may be moving in to the area.
