Are Apartment Locating Services Really Free? Here’s What You Need to Know!

If you’re on the hunt for an apartment in Houston, you might have seen ads for free apartment locating services— and you’re probably wondering, “What’s the catch?” I get it — anything labeled “free” can seem too good to be true. But when it comes to apartment locating, it’s 100% legit — and here’s why.

As a licensed Texas real estate agent and apartment locator with The Rise Agency, I help people like you find the perfect home at no cost to you. Whether you’re looking for a high-rise luxury apartment, a mid-rise with modern amenities, or need help with second chance leasing, my service saves you time, stress, and money — for FREE.

How Are Apartment Locating Services Free?

Apartment locators are paid by the apartment communities, not the renters. When you lease an apartment and list me, Meka Johnson, as your referral on your application and guest card, the property pays me a referral fee — so you never have to come out of pocket for my help.

That means you get:

✅ Personalized apartment searches tailored to your needs and budget

✅ Access to exclusive move-in specials and deals not always listed online

✅ Second chance leasing options for those with broken leases, credit issues, or past bankruptcies

✅ Expert advice and guidance from someone who knows the Houston market inside out

What About Second Chance Leasing?

If you’ve had a broken lease, eviction, bankruptcy, or credit challenges, you don’t have to navigate the search alone. I specialize in second chance leasing, connecting you with apartments that are willing to work with your situation — as long as you meet certain qualifications.

Why Use an Apartment Locator?

Let’s be honest — apartment hunting can be time-consuming and frustrating. Scrolling through endless listings, calling properties, and scheduling tours takes a lot of effort. I take that off your plate by:

✨ Listening to your needs and creating a customized list of apartments

✨ Handling the research and only showing you options that fit your criteria

✨ Negotiating move-in specials and making sure you get the best deal

✨ Guiding you through second chance leasing if you need a fresh start

Let’s Find Your Perfect Houston Apartment — for FREE!

Whether you’re moving to Houston, upgrading to a luxury apartment, or starting fresh with second chance leasing, I’ve got you covered. My goal is to save you time, money, and stress while helping you find the home of your dreams.
