Frequently Asked Questions

It’s simple.

You pay us $0 because our commissions come from property management companies.

It’s a pretty standard arrangement for apartment locators and property management companies (PMCs).

Here’s why.

Why Do PMCs Pay You?

Property management companies who want renters pay us from their marketing budgets because:

• We have direct access to apartment hunters: We’re always working with people who are searching for the perfect rental, and we’ve helped thousands of apartment hunters easily find their next home. We have an extensive database of the best rentals, and property management companies want to be featured among the options we consider when we curate apartment lists for our clients.
• We act like a go-between or matchmaker : Our apartment locators connect renters to property management companies, making it easy for both parties to cut through all the clutter and find exactly what they need. With countless options online, that can save a lot of time and money for everyone involved.
• We offer advertising they can’t get anywhere else : We routinely feature upscale rentals, luxury apartments, and amazing move-in specials on social media, our website, and in other spaces. Plus, we stay in touch with our clients, helping them after they’ve signed a lease. Property management companies can’t get that type of exposure through their marketing channels or other efforts.

When Do You Get Paid?

We earn our commission when a renter who we’re working with finds an apartment and signs the lease.

That incentivizes us to find the BEST matches for each renter. Our luxury apartment locators know how to curate custom apartment lists that perfectly match our clients’ precise criteria.

No matter what they’re looking for — a loft, a pet-friendly place, a great pool, or anything else — we find the ideal options for them.

That helps renters find what they’re looking for faster. Often, it also means they end up signing leases sooner. When they do, we get paid. But we aren’t the only ones who earn cash when the lease is signed.

When we get paid, you get paid — we share our commission with you and will pay up to $500 when you sign a lease.

Why Everyone Wins

• You get FREE apartment locator services from experienced Relocation Professionals who will help you with the ins and outs of the entire process. That saves you time and money finding the perfect apartment.
• Property management companies sign more leases, get more renters, and fill more vacancies. They also get some extra advertising.
• We get paid doing what we love!
