HOUSTON: The Apartments RCR system and you.

Everyone wants to be approved for their new apartment. Especially when you spend money on an application fee and administration fee.

But often, the apartment's RCR system is the downfall of many Houston Renters. The RCR system knows...

If you have had a Broken Lease, it knows
If you have been evicted, it knows
If you pay your rent late, it knows
If your last complex had problems with you or you still owe money, it knows
If you have a criminal history, it knows

More information about RCR is available here.

Here is an excerpt from the Houston Apartment Association's web site's RCR page:

The new service provides expanded applicant screening products that enable you to select the best qualified residents and lower the risks of delinquencies and criminal liability.
Resident History - Nationwide rental history and landlord-tenant records.
Criminal Information - Broader criminal screening data.
Help When You Need It - 40 support offices throughout the United States for superior customer service and training.
Quick and Easy - Information is entered into an easy-to-use Web application and a decision is delivered instantly.
Cost Effective - Automated decisions save your staff time.
Move-in/Move-out Entry - Process changes in resident rental histories online through RCR's familiar and easy-to-use tools.
Eviction Entry - Protect yourself and other properties by registering your evictions with RCR.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Why Drive all over Town when you can narrow your apartment search on-line?

Why drive all over town?

You and an Internet Connection

can narrow down your apartment

or town house choices in the comfort

of your home or office?

Gas is expensive and so is your time. At some point in your apartment search you will have to go out and see the complexes but why don't you narrow down your search on-line.

It eliminates time, gas, and "hassle". I've had a few couples tell me it was "almost stress-free".

Start your search by clicking on this link to access my "city websites" like AptFindHouston.com or AptFindDFW.com or my specialty website AptFindFelons.com: http://www.24x7aptfind.com/TXwebsites.html.

You can then access the website of the TX Region (or the 4 biggest metro areas of Texas - Houston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Austin, and San Antonio). click on this search link: http://www.24x7aptfind.com/Search.html.

GENERAL INFORMATION: How does the FREE GIFT CARD work?

My Gift Card Policy

The Gift Card is a rebate, of my commissions, in the form of a Gift Card (Texas does not allow a cash rebate). If the apartment complex does not pay me a commission - there will be no gift card.

The amount is dependent on the amount of my commission. For example, if the apartment pays me $400 then the gift card will be for a higher amount than if the apartment complex paid me $200.

Here's what you must do to receive your FREE Gift Card:

1. WRITE "John at The Apartment Store" down on all Guest Cards and Apartment Applications.

2. NOTIFY "John at The Apartment Store", by e-mail, phone or by using my UPDATE ME form on my web site, of the signing of your lease.

3. REPORT TO "John at The Apartment Store" via phone, e-mail, or my web site's UPDATE ME form of your new address PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR UNIT NUMBER and MONTHLY RENT, and LEASE TERM.

Then I bill the complex. When they pay me, I send off your Gift Card.

It's that easy. And if you refer someone to me and they receive a Gift Card - you will receive another FREE GIFT CARD as my thank you!

If you have questions, Email me at 24x7AptFind@gmail.com or call me at 281-681-3434.

*The only "fine print" is that if you break your lease, I will have to re-pay the apartment complex the commission I received. If that happens, and I have not sent a Gift Card, then I will withhold the card.

GENERAL INFORMATION: First Time Renters - I know the apartments that want your business!

So what happens if you have no Rental History?

Some apartments will require a huge deposit; as much as first and last month's rent. But I know the apartments that want to work with you!

Let's face it, many apartments really want renters with rental history and they penalize the First Time Renters with large deposits. But I know the apartment complexes that want to deal with a First Time Renter.

The deposits are much lower at these properties than a property that doesn't specialize in First Time Renters.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Need a Bus Stop at your new apartment?

I KNOW THE APARTMENTS ARE THAT HAVE SCHOOL BUS PICKUP AT THE PROPERTY OR A NEARBY METRO BUS STOP FOR YOU!

I know most parents would prefer if their new apartment complex had a School Bus stop; I also know what properties have a Metro Bus stop.

I can search for either; just tell me about where you want to live and the price range you want. I'll take it from there and give you an e-mail list that you can review on your own time.

Eliminate some complexes from the comfort of your home and make plans to see the ones that you like.

You will be surprised how you can get a good feel if the complex meets your needs from the data I will provide to you. Many of the apartments listed have photos or floor plans and they have the deposit range, application fees, and administration fees spelled out. They even tell you if they have Washer/Dryer connections in some or all of the units.

It is truly the easy way to "shop" for an apartment - and with my help we will make sure that you are qualified for the apartment before you place any administrative or application fees.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Have other apartment locators FAILED to help you?

Not everyone has an understanding of databases, how they work, good phone manners, professional follow up AND THE DRIVE AND DETERMINATION NEED TO BE A GREAT APARTMENT FINDER.

HAVE OTHER LOCATORS OR APARTMENT FINDERS FAILED TO HELP YOU?

Maybe you require special service – that’s what I provide.

I can help – and I do help. If all you want is a list then there are people who do that. I use a powerful database that allows me to search for just about every feature of apartments.

Plus, I get involved and call apartment management when you have a special situation. I’ve helped clients where some other apartment locators wouldn’t or couldn’t. I handle cases that only happen “once in a blue moon”. No matter what the situation, I’ll put my special database to work. I’ve handled the following to my client’s delight:

Evictions
Multiple Felonies
A client with Felony and a Misdemeanor
A client with a both Foreclosure and bankruptcy
A "lady of the evening" needing an apartment after 2 jail terms
A client that had multiple Misdemeanors. He said he was once “young & stupid” (his words not mine).
DHAP and Section 8 voucher issues.
Multiple dogs

GENERAL INFORMATION: I can take some of the "stress" out of your company relocatons.

Let me take some of the "hassle" and stress out of your company relocations

Moving is never easy - I know, I moved 6 times in my "former corporate life".

I know how to make it easier for your employees!

MY WEB SITE HELPS MAKE TEXAS RELOS EASIER: http://www.24x7aptfind.com/

I am proud to say my web site makes it easier for those people moving to Texas who want to rent an apartment. There are over 5,000 apartment complexes and over 2,000 in both Dallas and Houston. Selecting one can be daunting for anyone moving to Texas.

I can search by geographic area, type of apartment, number of bedrooms and baths, price range, or all of these. I can refine the search by the amenities of each complex, giving your employee exactly what they are looking for including:

• School Bus Stops

• Apartments that accept dogs (of every weight range)

• Washer & Dryer connections

• Apartments within X miles of your business

• Short term or long term apartments

• Apartments with fitness facilities

• Carports or Garages to shield "new Texans" from our hot summers

Best of all, I can produce a list and e-mail it to your employee before they even come to Texas. They can eliminate some complexes and discover the prices for apartments in the various areas of our city. And they can do all this from the comfort of their home.

You will be surprised how your employees can get a good feel if the complex meets their needs from the data I will provide FREE OF CHARGE to you. Many of the apartments listed have photos or floor plans and they have the deposit range, application fees, and administration fees spelled out.

It is truly the easy way to "shop" for an apartment - and with my help we will make sure that you are qualified for the apartment before you place any administrative or application fees. Then, when they travel to Texas, they can make plans to see ONLY the apartments they are interested in; this cuts down on the days away from the job.

I’ve been through six company relocations, I know how hectic a move can be – this can help eliminate some of the stress involved.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Why every Renter should have Renters Insurance.

Why EVERY renter at EVERY apartment complex should purchase a Renter's Insurance Policy.

Let's face it - real robbers aren't cute like this mouse.

They may take your Flat Panel TV, your cash, your jewelry, and any other valuables you have worked hard to purchase.

Or you could lose everything in a fire or hurricane - and no, the apartment complex is not "on the hook" to provide a replacement.

I encourage all my clients to purchase Renter's Insurance to cover their belongings in case of fire, hurricane, flooding, or burglary.

Renters insurance is pretty cheap and I advise all my clients to purchase it.

Here’s why:

Your belongings are just as important as a homeowner's belongings. A renter’s policy provides coverage for your household contents and personal belongings. Most of the insurers have Renter’s Policies – Allstate, Amica, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive, State Farm, and Travelers are some of the ones that come to mind. Because they compete for your business, prices are relatively low.

If you are considering a new apartment, I hope you will allow me to help you.

When clients use my services and faithfully put my name down on their Guest Cards and Applications, I reward them at Move-In with a Gift Card.

But I give them more than a Gift Card. I give them great service.

Many of my clients have told me I've saved them hundreds of dollars in application fees that would have lost or I've found them specials that they never would have known of.

I specialize in helping people that have credit problems, broken leases, evictions, a foreclosure, bankruptcy, or criminal conviction. Or people just having a hard time finding "just the right place".

GENERAL INFORMATION: Pick your door - but pick it fast!

A "look" at LOOK & LEASE policies

Pick Your Door, but Pick It Fast!

I've noticed a trend in the past month. Apartments giving 24 or 48 hour deals and the prices going up by $100/month or higher if the deal expires.

Look N Lease deals were always out there but the prices seem to be cut significantly now to get potiential renters to make a decision.

My advice: be ready before you go to look, have an understanding of the current rental market, and know what you can afford.

I think the best way is to use an Apartment Locator or Apartment Finder, like me. The service is Free to you and we can advise you on the specials. If you would like to search on line, you can do that at my web site - www.24x7AptFind.com or any of my "city sites" like http://www.aptfindhouston.com/.

You can complete the FIND A TX APT FOR ME e-mail form and send it to me. I will make sure you know of the specials that apply to you. It is one of the benefits of dealing with a Real Estate Professional.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Benefits of Renting a Carport you may not thought of.

Benefits of Renting a Carport with your next Apartment

Many of my clients ignore my advice to include a Carport or Garage with their new lease until I tell them the following reasons THEY SHOULD:

Keeps the sun's damaging rays from destroying your paint job; also keeps your car cooler during the summer
It gives you assigned parking - a real advantage if you have a busy complex or your neighbors throw parties
Many auto insurance companies will give you a reduction in your rates if your car is parked in a carport or garage (these savings can more than pay for a carport).
Many carports are lighted at night; a real benefit it you are concerned about people "messing with your car"
The carports help protect your car from hail - we often get damaging hail storms that will add dents to your vechicle
If the carport is lighted, you may feel safer pulling in and parking at night

In addition, many complexes will "throw a free carport in" as a Look & Lease to get you to sign a lease. Free is always a good reason.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Why you shouldn't wait to grab an apartment this summer.

The Phones are Ringing, people are

starting to plan their Summer moves

Why is this important?

Well, if you are planning to move into a new apartment this summer, now is the time to start looking. The phones are ringing and people are leasing for late June and July move-ins.

The best specials are now. The specials tend to disappear when the complexes fill. There are several new apartment communities that have opened in the past few months and several more that will open by the first of July. These complexes will fill fast. Everyone likes a brand new facility.

Want to start your search the easy way? You can go to my website www.24x7AptFind.com and complete the FIND AN APT FOR ME.

I'll be happy to help you in your move! form or search. Whichever way you chose, this is a free service.

Or you can call me at 281-681-3434 during business hours or at 281-203-6000 after hours.
