Our DREAM Process
The Smarter Way to Find Apartments in Atlanta
Enjoying the unique culture of Atlanta (along with its surprising mix of urban sophistication and Southern charm) starts with loving where you live. When looking for the perfect apartment, it’s important to look beyond the physical space and consider instead how your life fits within those walls. And Smart City is here to help.
Discovery
We start things off by pairing you up with your own personal agent–a licensed real estate agent with an extensive knowledge of the Atlanta renters’ market. Your agent will ask you some questions to get a feel for what you’re looking for.
“My agent listened to all of my needs and wants but somehow still knew the things I didn’t even know to ask about. They dig deep and know what I don’t know.”
Real Market Knowledge
Research can be a pain, which is why we’re delighted to take it off your plate. Your agent will use real market research, insights, and expertise to build your customized list. Rather than simply providing an auto-generated list of apartments for rent in Atlanta, you’ll be given a curated list of properties that specifically meet your wants and needs.
“My agent found an awesome complex that had just been built within a few minutes of my job. I had no idea it even existed!”
Explore Options
After you and your agent discuss the list and you provide some candid feedback, the list might be tweaked just a little. By this time, you should have a relatively short list of apartments that are, by your own criteria, way awesome.
“My agent really keyed into the features I wanted in a new apartment. I couldn’t tell you how many times I changed my priorities, but she rolled with it and made sure I got what I wanted while staying in my budget!”
Active Touring
Once you pick your top units off the list, your agent will put together a touring schedule based on your availability. If in-person tours aren’t convenient for you, we can arrange video tours with most properties.
“My agent listened to all of my needs and wants but somehow still knew the things I didn’t even know to ask about. They dig deep and know what I know I don’t know.”
Move
At this point, hopefully, you’ll have all the info you need to pick your favorite of the bunch. Your agent will stick with you during the application process to make sure it all goes smoothly. And once you’re approved, it’s time to move in! We can even help out with some of the annoying bits, like coordinating your utilities.
“I just moved into my apartment and despite it being a month since we last spoke, my agent still reached out to check on how I was doing on move-in day!”
