On November the 7th, Smart City Apartment Locating’s Houston Office held a live Q&A via Instagram, answering the questions of its followers. Incase you missed it, here’s a quick recap!

Apartment locating is when a person searches for apartments for you. Instead of spending hours online or on the phone with countless properties, you can have a locator do all the dirty work for you. A locator conducts searches 40+ hours a week to find the best prices the market has to offer. It’s their job and it’s FREE. Like a fiduciary, locators are supposed to search for apartments that fit your needs and wants. The only thing you have to do is write the locating company and name of the locator that helped you find the apartment when you lease!

2.Why did Cassie start Smart City Apartment Locating and how is it different from other apartment locating services?

Cassie started Smart City Apartment Locating when she posted a deal on Instagram that was so outrageous, it seemed to be a mistake. From that moment, Smart City was born. She and her team of locators dedicate their time to finding you the best prices in desirable areas through hyper-personalized searches. Along with that, one of Smart City’s core values is integrity. They believe that if they wouldn’t recommend an apartment to their  family or friends, they shouldn’t recommend it to you.

3.What is the purpose of your instagram?

Instagram, along with Facebook, LinkedIn and Google are reserved for only the best apartment finds. This means a great location, price and amazing perks. The units featured on our social media pages are hard to beat and don’t last long. This is why it is important for our clients to keep an eye out for deals they love on any of our social media accounts.

4.What’s so good about working here and how can I get a job with Smart City?

We love working here! There aren’t many jobs where your coworkers become your friends, but Smart City Apartment Locating is one of them! If you want to be part of our award winning team, check out of career page on our website for openings. You have to be at least 18 to apply, hungry to be your best and even better to customers.

5.When should I start looking and when is the best time to move?

The best time to start a search is 30 to 60 days before your desired move date. The reason for this is most apartment prices fluctuate daily; the closer we get to your move date, the more accurate the pricing and availability will be.

6.What neighborhoods are underrated and what should I try if I’m new to Houston?

We work with neighborhoods all over Houston, including the greater Houston area. Four neighborhoods our locators believe are underrated are – Energy Corridor, Greenway Plaza, East Downtown and Galleria. Energy Corridor is great for individuals working in energy based companies and those looking for new properties at great prices. Greenway Plaza offers many upscale amenities with a location that’s accessible to many of Houston’s hot spots. East Downtown is an up and coming neighborhood that’s rough around the edges and filled with excitement and new fun, plus it’s only minutes from Downtown. The Galleria area is home to one of the largest shopping centers in Houston with affordable pricing.

Houston may be the food capitol of the world according to our locators. Some of their favorite food places include: La Fisheria Mexican Cuisine and Roma’s Pizzeria.
