When you sign a lease at a property I helped you find, the property pays a locator's fee. It's a standard part of how apartments market themselves here, and it means my job is to make you happy, not to upsell you.

All of it: downtown, East and South Austin, Mueller, North Loop, the Domain, and the full ring of suburbs including Pflugerville, Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Manor, Hutto, Buda, Kyle, and Dripping Springs. Tell me your commute and your vibe and I'll narrow it down fast.

Not at all. Just fill out the form and I'll reach out over text. If the timing's off or it's not the right fit, no pressure at all.

Absolutely. This is one of my favorite things to do and I do it all the time. I'll do video walkthroughs on your behalf, give you my honest read on each place and neighborhood, and have everything ready for you to sign before you ever arrive. You show up, you move in. The whole process happens over text so you're never out of the loop.

Yes, absolutely. I've helped clients relocate from outside the country and I'm comfortable walking through the entire process remotely over text. Approval requirements can look a little different for international renters, but we'll figure out the best path forward together and I'll make sure you're set up for a smooth move.

As fast as you need. If you're on a tight timeline I can usually have real options in front of you within a day. If you're planning ahead, we'll pace it out comfortably.

Most communities look for a credit score above 600, a monthly income of roughly 3× the rent, and a clean rental history, meaning no open evictions, broken leases with outstanding balances, or existing rental debt. A criminal record with serious or recent charges is typically disqualifying. Older or less serious records are evaluated case-by-case and many communities will still approve. I'll be honest with you upfront about where you stand and point you toward properties that are actually a realistic fit, so you don't waste application fees on denials.

Yes. Lower credit on its own doesn't close all doors. Many communities will approve with a higher deposit, typically around one month's rent (nonrefundable), if the rest of your record is clean. I also work with a service called OneApp, a risk-mitigation program that allows some communities to approve renters they'd otherwise decline. It doesn't work everywhere, but it's a real option that has helped a lot of people get housed. We'll figure out together what makes the most sense for your situation.

Absolutely. No rental history is very different from bad rental history, and many communities understand that. If your credit is thin or new, two tools that help: a co-signer (someone who agrees to be responsible for the lease alongside you) or a guarantor (someone who backs your lease financially but doesn't live with you). Some communities accept a larger deposit in place of a co-signer. I'll walk you through what's needed at each property and help you put together the strongest possible application.

Yes. My team and I have you covered beyond just the lease. We're partnered with a great local moving company that offers our clients a discount on their move, so let me know when you're getting close to signing and we'll get you connected. We're also partnered with a furniture rental company for people who don't want to buy a full set of furniture right away, a smart option if you're new to Austin and still figuring out your setup.

Pretty much anything Austin has to offer: studios, 1BRs, 2BRs, loft-style units, townhomes, and even standalone house-style apartments, which are actually pretty common in North Austin. High-rises, mid-rises, garden-style communities, my team and I have access across the board. The one thing to know: we work with apartment communities and multi-family properties, not privately owned condos or single-family rentals.
