The Hames Community Approach to Resident Screening

April 22, 2026

You deserve a clean, safe, well-maintained community. Hames Homes can provide that, and here's how.


At Hames Homes, we’ve built our communities around one simple goal: creating a place people are proud to call home. That means clean, well-kept neighborhoods, respectful neighbors, and a consistent standard that homeowners can count on. A key part of that is our resident screening process for all adult applicants prior to move-in.

As part of the application, we conduct background and credit screenings, which may include reviewing criminal history, rental history, and overall financial responsibility. Each application is considered individually, allowing us to make fair, consistent decisions that support both the homeowner and the community.

Our screening process isn’t about excluding people—it’s about setting clear expectations from the start. Homeowners appreciate knowing their neighbors have gone through the same process, creating a stronger sense of stability and pride throughout the community.

From your first call to move-in day, our team is here to make the process simple and straightforward. We’re always happy to answer questions, walk through the application process, and help you take the next step with confidence.

If you’re ready to explore homeownership with Hames Homes, call Clint or Curtis at 319.377.4863—we’d be glad to help you get started.
