Hello Longhorn!
As of the time of writing this, I have been specializing in UT Austin off-campus housing for about 3 years. With that said, one common question I get is, how do apartment locators in West Campus help UT Austin students find a lease for free? Interestingly enough, it is actually quite a simple answer. The property pays the locator directly for touring with clients and assisting them with the application and leasing process. In the end, it is a win-win for everyone involved. The property owner gets a tenant for the schoolyear. The UT student gets assistance searching for and applying for the perfect spot. And the locator gets paid. Honestly, this is one of my favorite things about the job, that I get to provide a very valuable service at a free cost to the consumer.
If you are currently looking for a condo, house, or apartment for the coming UT school year, I recommend reaching out so we can chat about housing in the UT Campus area. I can provide access to tools and resources, as well as expertise, to help you view properties for lease or sale in the campus area. Additionally, feel free to complete a Renter’s Questionnaire and I will reach out ASAP!
Thanks,
Realtor Tineo
