Hear it straight from the people I've worked with.
Leo has such a unique way of approaching this industry. He's changing the game by infusing personal experience, lifestyle preferences, wisdom and care into helping people transition into their next phase of life. As a new fish in a big city, I felt so heard and taken care of by Leo. I trusted his recommendations, and the results were tenfold.
I absolutely loved working with Leo! He was attentive, quick to respond, and so knowledgeable throughout the whole process. He doesn't just focus on checking the boxes. He really listens and takes the time to understand the vibe and lifestyle you're looking for. He made the whole apartment search feel so much easier.
He was patient with us and understanding of our needs for an apartment as we were relocating to Austin for grad school. I consider Leo a friend now and he helped us find a perfect home that was close to my school and my wife's job. I highly recommend him.
Leo located an apartment for me at the beginning of the year and now that I've lived here for a few months I can confidently say he had my best interest when showing me apartments. He listens very well to what your priorities are and gives you recs you wouldn't typically find on your own.
Pulled straight from tour days with actual clients. This is what it looks like when we find the one.
I help people find apartments in Austin. But what I'm really doing is helping people land somewhere they can breathe. Moving is one of the most stressful things a person can go through, and I think it should feel a lot more human than a wall of listings and ignored emails.
Some of my favorite moves have been with people coming from California, New York, and even internationally. People who don't know a soul in Austin yet and are trusting me to help them land somewhere that actually fits their life. I also get just as much out of working with someone who's already here and just needs a place that matches where they're headed next.
I don't charge you a cent for any of this. Properties pay locators a fee when a renter signs, so I get to spend my time actually figuring out what you need instead of pushing you toward a quota. If a place isn't right for you, I'll tell you.
Outside of work, I'm big on fitness, spirituality, and spending time outdoors with my dog Levi. I love bringing people together, and Austin's social scene is something I geek out on. If you want recs for gyms, trails, wellness spots, or places to meet people, just ask. I'm here to make the whole transition feel easier, not just find you a place to sleep.
Yes. Completely free for you, with no catch and no hidden fees. You'll never get a bill from me at any point in the process.
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 (violent felonies, sexual offenses, drug distribution) 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, which is 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, like a parent, for example). 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 their first year. It's a really smart option if you're new to Austin and still figuring out your setup. Just ask and we'll make the intro.
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. Loft-style units are genuinely harder to come by in Austin than in cities like New York or Chicago, but they do exist, and if there's availability when you're searching, we'll find them for you.
Most people moving to Austin spend weeks trying to piece together neighborhood info from Reddit threads and outdated blog posts. This guide has everything in one place: neighborhoods, lifestyle picks, renter tips, and real practical advice, completely free.
