Why work with a locator
An easier search, with someone on your side.
Austin has a lot of apartments. I help you sort through them, compare what things really cost, and focus on the few places that fit.
Free for renters
Participating apartment communities pay the locating commission, so my help costs you nothing.
Personal guidance
One point of contact who learns what matters to you, not an automated list.
Local knowledge
Honest perspective on neighborhoods, commutes, and trade-offs across Austin and nearby cities.
Tours, coordinated
I help schedule your tours, in person or virtual, so you can focus on choosing.
How it works
From first call to move-in day.
Consultation
A quick call about your budget, timing, areas, and must-haves. We can meet in person if you're local, or work remotely if you're relocating.
Personalized research
I look into communities that fit, including current specials and pricing.
Narrow the options
We review them together and narrow down to about three strong choices.
Tour
I coordinate tour appointments, in person or virtual.

Meet Courtney
A friendly, local guide for your next move.
I'm a Realtor and apartment locator focused on Austin and the surrounding cities. I love helping people find a place that fits, whether you're moving across town or across the country.
Every search starts with a conversation. I listen first, do the research, and help you narrow things down so you can make a confident decision without the overwhelm.
Is apartment locating really free?
Yes, for renters. When you lease at a participating apartment community and I'm listed as your referral, the community pays the locating commission. You don't pay me to help you find an apartment. Buying, selling, and some other real estate services work differently, and I'll always explain that up front.
How does the process start?
With a phone consultation. We'll talk through your budget, timing, preferred areas, and must-haves. If you're local, we can also meet in person, and if you're moving from out of town, we'll work remotely.
Will you just send me a long list of apartments?
No. I research the options, review them with you, and help narrow things down to around three places that fit, so your tours are focused and worth your time.
Do you know which apartments have specials right now?
I check current specials and pricing for the communities that fit your search. Specials change often and aren't guaranteed, so I confirm the details with you before you tour or apply.
Can you help if I have credit or rental-history concerns?
Let's talk privately. Every community has its own criteria, and I can't promise an approval, but I can help you understand your options before you spend money on applications. Please don't put sensitive details in the website form.
Which areas do you cover?
Austin is my main focus. I also serve Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Hutto, Cedar Park, Leander, Buda, and Kyle.
