But if you do qualify, you will be able to save a few hundred bucks, especially if you need to move your belongings from point A to point B.

What is an Apartment Locator

Many people aren't even aware what an apartment locator is or how to find one. Simply defined, a locator is a licensed real estate agent. They help renters find a place in their budget with availability and the amenities that they want and need. Locators only exist in a few cities across the United States. These include Houston, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, and a few other towns.

Why Would I Use One

• A locator also known as an apartment finder have access to databases that consist of hundreds of apartments. They are able to filter properties based upon location, price range, amenities, and many other features.

• • They will save you time
  • These companies can also potentially save you hundreds of dollars by directing you to communities that offer specials.

  You may also qualify for a 123 free apartment move.

  Free Move Guidelines

Before you contact an apartment locator, here is what you need to do in order to qualify for your free move.

• Your monthly rent must exceed a certain threshold. This will include discounts and reduced rent specials. So if your market rent meets the minimum requirements, but you receive incentives like move in specials, this may void your free move.

• The locator may offer you an alternative gift like a rebate check.

• • All moves are timed. Generally you will have a couple hours. If you exceed this time limit, you will be responsible for overages.
• • Movers won't move specialty items. Be sure and find out if any of your belongings fall into this category.

What Does a Free Move Cost the Locating Company

After researching, movers rates can vary like any businesses services. But we can safely say that this will be between $80 and $100 per hour. Also be aware that there will be an hourly minimum.

It's probably safe to say the locator will offer the hourly minimum and no more. So if the minimum is 2 hours, the move probably costs the locator around $200.

If you don't want the free move, the locator will gladly offer you a gift rebate check back. But understand that this will come in the mail generally 30 to 180 days after you move in.

We advise that you contact the apartment locators website to view the exact terms and conditions. They may require that you register with their website before you tour the apartment.

But if you do qualify for the free move, it certainly is worth it. Just be sure that you have all of your things ready to get when they show up. You don't want to encounter any delays.
