The Five-Step Match

Simple on your end, and it stays that way.

  1. 01

    Tell us your basics

    Metro, household size, income range, and any voucher, screening, or accessibility needs. Takes about five minutes.

  2. 02

    We check qualification

    We match your numbers against current AMI limits by metro and program (30/50/60/80%) and flag which paths fit.

  3. 03

    We pre-screen the fit

    We compare your credit, background, and rental history against each community's tenant selection plan before you spend a fee.

  4. 04

    You get current matches

    Within 24-48 hours, a list of open communities that fit your budget, program, and household. No closed-list dead ends.

  5. 05

    We coordinate to lease-up

    We handle waitlist coordination, follow up on your applications, and rebate your application fee when you're approved and sign.

Why This Model Works

Communities pay for placement

Apartment communities pay marketing budgets to fill vacancies. When we place a qualified renter, we're paid from that budget. It costs you nothing and your rent stays identical.

Pre-screening protects your fees

Application fees run $50-$150 per adult and none refund. We check your credit, background, and income against a community's rules before you spend anything.

Application fee rebate

When you're approved and sign a lease through our service, we rebate the application fee you paid to that community. It's a real dollar amount back in your pocket.

Statewide inventory in one place

One team tracks lease-ups, waitlist openings, and voucher acceptance across Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, and Fort Worth. You don't have to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?
Yes, 100%. We are a licensed apartment locating service paid by apartment communities out of their marketing budgets, never by renters. Your rent is identical whether you use us or apply directly.

How do you get paid if renters don't pay?
Communities pay us a referral fee from their marketing budgets for finding qualified residents. That fee is part of their standard cost and never changes your rent.

Will my rent be higher if I use your service?
No. Your rent is the same whether you use a locator or apply directly to the leasing office. We are paid by the community, not by you.

What if I have bad credit or a prior eviction?
We match renters with communities that accept a range of screening profiles. Every property has different rules, but we know which ones are more flexible on credit history or past rental challenges, and we pre-screen you before you apply so you don't waste a fee.

How long does this take?
The intake takes about 5 minutes. We typically send matches within 24-48 hours, depending on availability in your metro. Waitlists themselves can still be long, and we're honest about that up front.

Do you help me get a Section 8 voucher?
No. You apply for a Housing Choice Voucher directly through your local housing authority. Once you have a voucher in hand, we find communities that accept it and coordinate your applications.
