Frequently Asked Questions
Apartment Locating is a free service because the property managers pay our agents a referral bonus for filling their vacant units.
Absolutely not. If anything you’d probably get a better deal going through us, here is why; Property owners set aside a marketing budget to ensure enough exposure to keep their communities at a desired occupancy rate. This marketing budget includes online ads, large listing websites, and apartment locators.
It’s so simple! Kindly list your apartment locators name on your guest card before your tour and list their name as your apartment locator / referral source on your rental application when you apply for your new apartment. This is the ONLY way they will get credit for helping you out.
Renters can expect expert knowledge on the Houston rental market and professional guidance on the leasing process. Once you’ve completed our Get-Started form, our agents typically reach out via call or text to connect & confirm your search details. They will then send you our best listings that meet your criteria. From there you can expect them to be a friendly city guide of Houston neighborhoods, make the calls to confirm pricing and availability, and guide you through the application and leasing process.
We need a few pieces of information in order for your agent to get credit for your lease.
This information includes:
Once we get the move-in information our billing team will handle everything from there so our agents can focus on helping more renters like you!
Sometimes it’s possible, but that’s not always the case. Most property management companies have set pricing and are not allowed to change rates for a particular applicant. However, if they need to hit certain occupancy rates they may toss in an extra rent special, waived application fee, or waived deposit. Make sure to ask your agent to see what they can do for you!
Yes! All agents must pass all the classes and exams provided by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) before they are allowed to work with the public.
As Licensed Real Estate Agents, we are not allowed to discuss safety or any demographic questions due to fair housing laws. However, based on your apartment search requirements we can help narrow down the listings into a neighborhood & home we think you’d love!
It’s best to tour when you’re ready to pull the trigger and apply! That could be anywhere from 45-60 days out from your move-in date. If you’re relocating and only in town for the weekend, applying and locking in a deal during your trip is a great idea as well.
Apartment pricing and availability is subject to change every 24 hours, similar to airline tickets. So if you like what you see during your tour we suggest you put the application in then and there so you don’t lose out on it! We’ve seen apartments get sniped minutes after a tour, and we wouldn’t want that to happen to you.
Worst case scenario, you can always cancel an application if you decide to change your mind. Our agents can always find a new place for you. Now you may lose out on your application fees, but that’s trivial when you’re talking about where you’ll be living for the next year!
By Law in the state of Texas, any occupant over the age of 18 residing in the unit must be listed on the lease agreement.
