Pointers When Searching For A New Apartment | Mortgages

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

More and more in today’s overwhelming Information Age, experts recommend using a leasing professional when searching for an apartment/home/condo to rent (see article below).

With so much information out there (some truthful, some not so truthful), it is wise to use a rental expert — the same way you would use a sales expert to buy a house Let them narrow down your options, and you can make your decision with a clear head.

Leasing agents are paid by the landlords from their marketing budgets, so their services are usually free to the renter.  So quit clicking through page after page of potential rentals, and call your local rental expert.  You’ll be glad you did!

Apartment hunting can be tough. Hiring an agent might be wise when looking for an apartment. An agent can help you find what you are looking for and quite often, find you deals that you didn’t know where available.

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

People use real estate sales agents to sift through thousands of homes to find a handful which meet all the buyer’s requirements.  Why not use a licensed leasing agent to do the same thing with apartments?

Finding an apartment today can be overwhelming — there are thousands of rentals listed online.  Let a local leasing agency (like Apartment Search in St. Louis)  narrow down  your choices for you — the same way a real estate sales agent does for buyers.

Knowledgeable apartment locator agencies are available in most major cities.  It’s an option more and more smart, busy renters are turning to…

Smokers in your properties

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

I found this article today in reference to smokers in rental units and a new law implemented in Buffalo, New York. I found it especially timely since in the past week we have had two tenants that were moving from their current apartments due to smokers in their buildings. Both tenants were highly allergic to smoke and were told there were no smokers in the building.  

In one case the lease required tenants to sign a non-smoking addendum. When the current tenant complained to the landlord that the new tenant that had recently moved in downstairs was a heavy smoker the Landlord requested she prove it with pictures and 2 witnesses! The tenant had resided in the building for over 3 years and felt it wasn’t her responsibility to enforce the owner’s lease and is moving out.

The smoking issue has really become a “hot button” for many of the tenants and owners we deal with. Most of our private Landlords request non-smoking tenants and it is well received by most of our customers. I don’t doubt similar laws like those in Buffalo & other cities will be in place nationally soon.

Apartment Hunting Internet Style | Free Financial Today

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Oooh, it’s a slow news day.  This is the best I could find this morning.  Nothing new — you are probably already using the Web to search for apartments.

I do disagree with the statement, “You can find out all the information before spending your time going to each apartment building.”  You can find out a lot online, but not everything.

You definitely want to  visit your top three options, and physically go into the actual apartment you would be occupying.

In St. Louis apartments, there can be a big difference between a community’s display apartment and the unit you will physically occupy  — words of wisdom  from the Apartment Search experts!

There are many benefits to search for a new apartment over the internet; this is because you can find out all the information before spending your time going to each apartment building.
