First of all, apartment locators in the state of Texas must be licensed by the Texas Real Estate Commission. If you are looking for an apartment locator to assist you in your search, you should not have any problems trying to locate an apartment locator for yourself. There are lots of companies across the major metropolitan cities in Houston, Tx.  Many locators will personally drive you around the city. Others will make all the phone calls for you.

Is Using a Locator A Good Idea

There is not a negative in regards to using a locator. Especially in the state of Texas, most apartment locators do not charge a fee. And if you don’t really know the area you want to call home, or you are new to the city, an apartment locator can be especially helpful to you. Getting lost in a new city can be extremely frustrating. Apartment locators can also recommend apartments that offer the best specials too.

Who Pays The Locators

So if we know that apartment locators don’t charge the clients a fee, there must be some way that they make their salary. Almost all apartments in the state of Texas will pay the locator a fee if the renter remembers to use the locator as a referral.  They usually do this by placing the name of the locator on the application and guest card. The only real negative is that the locator is not payed immediately upon the move in of the client.  Sometimes the client must stay in their Pearland apartment home 90 days before the locator is paid.

The $100 Dollar Rebate

Many locator in Texas will even offer the client a $100 dollar rebate for remembering the name of the locator on the guest card and application.  This helps to ensure that the client will remember. Many “rookie” locators lose business because they forget to tell the client about the rebate. Renters should be aware that some locating companies claim that they pay a rebate, but they make the renter jump through hoops to collect.
