UT students
The apartment hunt is a group project. Let me be the one who does it.
I live in this market — I tour West Campus, Hyde Park, and North Loop buildings every single week. I know which "luxury" towers are worth it, which cheap spots are actually fine, and exactly when pre-lease pricing turns against you. Tell me your budget and your crew; I'll bring back the real list.
What you're up against
Pre-lease season is rigged against procrastinators
The good floor plans for fall are gone by spring, and August panic-signing is how people end up in overpriced leftovers. Timing is a strategy, and most students don't have one.
Every building looks the same on Instagram
Renderings, pool shots, a granite countertop. What matters is management response time, actual noise, hidden fees, and how per-bed pricing really works — none of which is on the website.
Four roommates, one signature deadline
Coordinating guarantors, per-bed leases, and four parents' questions is a mess. I run the paperwork so nobody's mom has to chase a leasing office.
How I run your search
- 1
Tell me budget, crew, and vibe
Per-bed budget, how many roommates, walk-to-class or bus-line, quiet or social.
- 2
Get the real list
Three to five buildings that fit, with true per-bed math (app, admin, utilities, parking) and my honest read on each.
- 3
Tour the finalists together
I set up the tours and come with you — I've been in these units and I'll point at what the tour guide walks past.
- 4
Sign clean, all of you
I herd every roommate and guarantor through the application so it closes before someone else takes your unit.
Fair questions
Seriously, free?
Seriously. Properties pay locators to bring tenants. Your rent doesn't change — you just stop doing the work.
When should we start looking for fall?
Earlier than you think — pre-lease for August starts the previous fall. If it's already late, that's exactly when you need someone who knows where the real availability is.
Can you handle a group of 4–5?
Yes — 4-bed floor plans and houses are my favorite hunt. One group text with me in it and your whole crew is handled.
What about subleases?
I'll tell you honestly when a sublease is your best move and what to watch for — even though it usually doesn't pay me anything.
