URL: https://houstonapartmentlocators.com/about/ - [Home](/) - / - About About Us # Meet Houston Apartment Locators We're apartment locators working all over Houston, from high rises Inside the Loop to new communities out past the Grand Parkway. Every agent on our team holds a Texas real estate license and works under our broker, Spirit Real Estate Group. Whatever kind of apartment you need, we'll help you find it, and it costs you nothing. - Licensed Texas agents · Under Spirit Real Estate Group, TREC #562021 - Free to renters · The property pays our fee after you sign - Same day reply · Your list can take a day or two - Open every day · Evenings and weekends too What We Do ## Houston has thousands of apartments. We help you find the few worth touring. Houston has no zoning code. A new high rise can go up next to a strip center, a bar or a street of bungalows. So the block around a building matters as much as the floor plan. The metro spreads across several counties and three freeway loops. Rents, specials, fees and screening rules change from one community to the next. Keeping up with all that is our job. We talk with leasing offices and property managers around town every day. We keep notes on what each community accepts, what it charges on top of rent, and what specials it's running this month. That's what we build your list from. Then we tell you what we think. Some “two months free” deals look better than they are once you see the lease length and the renewal rate. Valet trash, parking and amenity fees can push a unit past your budget. When we see that, we'll point it out. You make the call. Our Process ## How a search works - 01 ### Tell us what you need Budget, move date, where you work, pets, and anything on your record that worries you. Fill out the search form, or just give us a call. - 02 ### Get your list We reply the same day. Building your list can take a day or two, and a request sent over the weekend usually gets its list on Monday. - 03 ### Tour your favorites Tap the heart on the ones you like. We book in person tours around your schedule. Moving from out of town? We'll request, confirm and book video tours with the on site leasing team. - 04 ### Apply and move in We help with the application and follow up when it stalls. Before you sign, read the flood notice Texas landlords have to give you. Then we'll help you set up electricity and renters insurance. Who We Help ## Any kind of apartment search Most people come to us with a budget, a move date and a part of town in mind. Some bring a harder problem too: a past eviction, a big dog, a voucher, or a new job in a city they haven't seen yet. We take all of it. - [Luxury and high rise apartments](/luxury-high-rise/) - [Lofts and mid rise apartments](/lofts-mid-rise/) - [Move in specials](/move-in-specials/) - [Affordable apartments](/affordable-apartments/) - [2nd chance leasing](/second-chance-leasing/) - [Low income and tax credit apartments](/low-income/) - [Section 8 voucher help](/section-8/) - [First apartments](/first-apartments/) - [55 and older communities](/senior-living/) - [Pet friendly apartments](/pet-friendly/) - [Out of state moves](/sight-unseen-relocation/) - [Corporate relocation](/corporate-relocation/) - [Electricity and move in help](/moving-concierge/) Price and screening don't move together. Some newer buildings with empty units to fill will work with a guarantor or deposit program. An older building down the street may hold a hard line. So we look across price ranges instead of assuming. Straight Answers ## What we can't promise you Better you hear this from us now than after you've paid an application fee. ### Approval Approval is the property's call, and many hand screening to an outside company. We point you where your file has a fair shot. We can't promise a yes. ### Every unit on your list We don't call the leasing office about each unit before it goes on your list. Good units here can lease in a day, and specials change week to week. Get the final price and terms in writing before you sign. ### Legal advice We're real estate agents, not lawyers. Got an eviction case or a lease dispute? Lone Star Legal Aid (lonestarlegal.org) offers free help to Harris County tenants who qualify. A private lawyer is the other route. ### Answers that never change Leasing staff turn over, and screening rules shift with occupancy. A building with lots of empty units may bend, and the same building nearly full often won't. What we heard last month may not hold today. The property's written criteria are the final word. Money ## How we get paid Free to you. The property pays us a small referral fee after you sign, so we're here to help with every step, especially when you can't get ahold of the community. There's no sign up fee, no membership and no bill later. Communities paying locators is a normal part of how apartments lease in Texas. The one thing we need from you: the community has to know we sent you. If you tour or apply on your own, tell the leasing office we referred you before you fill anything out. Where the application asks how you found the property, pick the apartment locator option, and we’ll tell you exactly what to write. Who You're Working With ## The people behind your search The agent who picks up your first message stays with your search until you have keys. If that agent is out, someone else on the team covers. We're all licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission and work under one broker. ### Houston Apartment Locators Licensed Texas Apartment Locators We're a team of licensed apartment locators covering Houston and the surrounding metro. We track which communities are running specials, how they screen, and what they charge on top of rent. Ask us about any of it and you'll get a straight answer. It's free to you, since the property pays our referral fee after you sign. - Licensed Texas Real Estate Agents - Spirit Real Estate Group · TREC License #562021 ### Bryan Bjerke Designated Broker Bryan Bjerke is the designated broker for Spirit Real Estate Group (TREC #562021).
