Find answers to common questions about apartment locating services, second-chance rentals, rebates, moving specials, and the DFW rental market. Simplify your renting experience with clear and concise information tailored to your needs.
It’s totally free! We are paid a referral fee out of the apartment’s marketing budget. This doesn’t cause an increase in rent or fees for you either. When we say free, we mean FREE!
Because our agents don’t just generate a generic list for you, they provide a hyper-personalized and totally tailored list for you. If they give you that list weeks out from your tour date, by the time you’re actually ready to tour 99% of those options will have either leased or seen a price change. We do this to ensure the most accurate pricing and availability that works for your move-in timeframe!
To put it simply, sort of.
We cannot negotiate pricing on individual, one-off units. However, we do have an amazing Property Relations team who works extra hard to negotiate better rates and exclusive deals on select apartments, in bulk. We ALWAYS post these exclusive, negotiated savings onto our Instagram channels, so be sure to check us out there.
Yes! All Apartment Locators are Licensed Real Estate Agents. This is required across the state of Texas!
Let the leasing agent know from the moment you walk in you’ve been working with a Central Metro Realty. You need to also write your agent’s name and Central Metro Realty in the referral section of your paper application. If you are applying online, there is a section titled “How did you hear about us?” or “Referral source” there you must choose “Locator” or “Central Metro Realty” from the drop-down menu.
Unfortunately we cannot, we can however try and beat your renewal if you share it with us and are serious about moving!
Since our agents are Licensed Real Estate Agents, we cannot discuss safety or demographic questions – however, based on your preferences as we get to know you, we would love to make sure you’re in or near areas that interest you!
We work with lots of townhomes, as long as they are managed by a management company (similiar to an apartment.) We do not work with private rentals directly from a landlord.
Connect specializes in getting our clients connected with quality partners with competitive rates. We won’t be able to negotiate existing utility rates, but we can help you compare and find the best deals out there. Once you’ve selected your provider, we’ll even set up services for you—one less box to check off!
