GENERAL INFORMATION: Apt Locators KNOW if you have multiple finders

I want to be paid for my work - and so do ALL Apartment Locators

I understand it if you contact me after one or two apartment finders can't help you. Most of my clients contact me after one or two locators fail to solve their issues. But I had a situation today that really got to me.

A lady contacted me with a difficult case, her father needed an apartment after a bankruptcy and foreclosure and had a limited income. I always ask if they are working with someone - the answer was NO.

When I signed into the system, the system reported that this woman had contacted 3 apartment locators TODAY. And one 18 days ago.

So here is the dilemma. Do I trash the request or spend 3 hours on it in the hopes that the client's father will be true to me and put my name down? Easy decision, I can work with people who WANT & APPRECIATE MY SERVICE AND WANT TO SEE THAT THE APTS PAY ME or I can work for a client who has mislead me.

Not much of a problem making that decision after all.

Hear that noise? It is the sound of the request going into the trash can.

FELONS: The nicest Testimonal I've gotten in a long while

Testimonial I received from a lady yesterday

She has a deferred adjudication for a Felony and was having a tough time finding a place until "she put me on the job". Here is her words:

John, Thank you soooo much for your help finding an apartment. I have wasted so much money in the last few years filling out applications with so much disappointment. The complexes you found to accept me were both VERY nice and in good parts of town, and I went and was approved the same day! I also got a spectacular special from the one I am moving into, and could not be happier. I definitely could not have done this without you, You're just great! Thank you again, and I'll be sure to recommend you in the future!
S.S.

I treat all my clients like family. I champion your cause and can find about 80% of my clients housing within 2 business days. I won't kid you, this isn't easy work but I feel it is "my calling" to help.

To contact me: call 866-285-2100 and request to speak to John "the Felony expert" or complete the FIND ME A TX APT form by clicking on this link.

GENERAL INFORMATION: Gift Card policy changing

My Gift Card policy is being Updated

If you moved into your apartment prior to July 20th, you will be sent a gift card when the apartment complex pays me. I will not forward a gift card until they do pay me. Some complexes are not paying locators for their services in a timely manner.

Some complexes are deceiving their residents claiming that "all your locator has to do is bill us and we will pay the bill".

What many neglect to tell you is WHEN.

• I have what I guess to be 10% of the complexes that pay at less than 30 days.
• I would say an additional 15% pay at 30 days.
• 25% pay before 60 days
• 25% pay between 60 and 90 days
• 15% pay after 90 days but do pay at some point, I don't like to recommend these apts
• 10% never pay; those we put on a special list where we don't work with them any longer

My broker has agreed, from July 20 on to send the gift to you, from The Apartment Store for a certain percentage of the commission check we receive from the complex. I am funding part of this but to me the main advantage is that you can follow up with my broker, or her administrative support, to find out if the invoice has been paid.

By the way, if someone skips within 90 days, the complex is within their rights to ask for their commission back. If we have not cut the check to you when this happens, then we won't. We must be paid in order to supply you with a portion of our commissions. It's that simple.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that we are doubling the amount of the rebate I offerred prior to this.
