Is your apartment locating service really free? Yes — it's 100% free to you, always. The apartment community pays our locator fee when you sign a lease, so you never pay us a cent. There is no catch and no fee to the renter, ever. Can you really get me approved with bad credit or no credit? Often, yes. We maintain a database of which Austin-area communities approve credit scores under 550, no credit, bankruptcies, and foreclosures. We pre-qualify you before you apply so you only spend application fees where approval is realistic. Do you work with evictions and broken leases? Yes. Evictions and broken leases are among the most common situations we handle. We know which communities forgive filings versus judgments and how to present your case, so a past mark doesn't automatically end your search. How fast can I move in? For motivated renters we routinely coordinate approvals and move-ins within 24 to 72 hours, and same-day approvals are possible at some communities. We'll tell you up front what timeline is realistic for your specific situation. Are you actually licensed? Yes. We are TREC-licensed real estate agents working under a real brokerage — not unlicensed 'locators.' That means accountability, E&O insurance, and a broker backing every transaction, which protects you from the scams common in this space. I'm self-employed or paid in cash — can you still help? Absolutely. We work with communities that accept bank statements, tax returns, offer letters, and bank-statement averaging instead of traditional W-2 paystubs, and we help you assemble the right proof to get approved. ## You've been told no enough times. Let us help you hear yes. Licensed, local, and free to you. Get a real list of Austin-metro apartments that will approve your situation.
