- All Around Austin Apartment Locating provides the most professional, friendly and efficient service in town.
- Personalized approach to finding the perfect apartment for each customer, carefully considering every detail and preference.
- Data base with 1,000's of Austin's Best Properties.
We provide gimmick-free, customized service. Whether you're a newcomer or an established Austinite, we'll help to determine the best area for you, as well as the best type of property that will suit your personal preferences to a tee.
Finally, we will set a convenient appointment for you to tour the best rental properties on the market for your move date. Prior to our appointment, we'll thouroughly research every property fitting your criteria, assessing all data, such as square footage, intelligence of floorplans, age and quality of property, consistency of staff and management, and (of course) price plus LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Then, we'll "boil it all down" - allowing the cream to rise to the top, and go take a look at the best ones on the list. A knowledgeable agent will accompany you to each property, making sure that all your questions are answered, and that you receive the best possible deal on your new apartment.
Why are Apartment Locating Services Free of Charge?
Our service is free to you because we are paid from the advertising budgets of the apartment communities. In Austin, approximately 64% of the population lives in rental housing, so there's a lot of competition among properties to attract good residents. A good locator is an expert at matching prospective residents to the best property choice, making sure that each meets the other's standards in every detail. Properties rely on locator services to keep their business healthy and strong. Because they work on straight commissions, a good locator is extremely motivated to find their customer's the best deal on the best apartments in town.
OK, the service is free, but are there hidden costs to me?
There are no hidden costs to you at all, in fact people who use a top notch locator are much more likely to save hundreds of dollars on rent and move-in costs, and end up with a way cooler apartment than they would have found on their own.

Why do some of these free apartment locating sites, offer rebates to list them as a referring source on apartment applications, and your site doesn't offer anything at all except exceptional service?
Listing a referring source on an apartment application, whether that source has actually helped you find your apartment or not, (other than perhaps allowing you to view a list of every apartment community in town), is often the only way apartment communities are able to gage to whom to pay a referral fee. It's a loophole through which many web based locating companies can snake some unearned commissions. Sadly, local, hard-working agents who are actually taking the time and expense to find you the best apartment in town can lose their paychecks to these list making rebate promisers and you, the consumer is still left to your own devices, to do all the work yourself, with no representation, and only a chance of actually collecting a portion of the unearned commission. We just don't like this trend. It hurts everyone except the list makers.
