The company positions itself beyond a database search: "We are more than apartment locators — we are apartment counselors... our agents have extensive knowledge beyond what the data can show you, and know the right questions to ask." It adds: "We live in the markets we serve, which means we know which communities run the best specials, which ones approve quickly, which ones have the best management."
The site also links a Texas Real Estate Commission Information About Brokerage Services document and a TREC Consumer Protection Notice.

What Apartment Pros does
Apartment Pros is an apartment locator service for renters in Austin and Central Texas. The site states plainly: "We're not a listing site. We're your locator." Instead of leaving a renter to sort through ads, an assigned local agent does the searching, narrows the options, and arranges tours. The Austin page describes the market coverage as "Downtown lofts to Domain high-rises" and says the company knows "every corridor of the Austin rental market."
Apartments are the specialty. The FAQ says the company also works with "select built-to-rent single-family and townhome/duplex communities that we would be happy to show you." The site contrasts its services with listing portals: "Listing sites show you ads and leave the work to you. We're licensed Texas real estate agents who do the searching for you: real-time availability, current specials, honest opinions about communities we know personally, and scheduled tours — all matched to your budget and needs."

The company also states it helps renters with difficult rental history: "We know which communities work with credit issues, evictions, broken leases, and misdemeanors, so we only send you options likely to approve you."
To contact Apartment Pros about services in Austin, the published phone number is (512) 580-9803. The site does not publish an email address for the company as a whole.

We have a local office in each market."
The four published areas served and their contact details are:
Austin Area — phone (512) 580-9803. No street address is published for the Austin office.
North Austin – Round Rock Area — located at 14205 N Mopac Expy, Austin, TX 78728, phone (512) 710-2048.
San Marcos – Kyle – Buda Area — located at 302 University Dr Suite B, San Marcos, TX 78666, phone (512) 917-7833.
New Braunfels Area — phone (830) 302-3275. No street address is published for the New Braunfels office.
The footer describes the company as offering "Free apartment locating across Central Texas." The Austin page says the team serves "Austin and surrounding areas" and adds: "We work where you're looking — start online or call, and we'll meet you at whichever community you're touring."
On hours and appointments, the Austin page states "Meetings by appointment, 7 days a week." The FAQ expands on this: "Most searches happen entirely by phone, text, and email... But if you'd like to sit down with someone, all four offices welcome walk-ins by appointment, 7 days a week." No opening and closing times are published for any office.
Lists Central, Austin, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Kyle, New Braunfels, Pflugerville, and Round Rock as a location. Names Texas, Central, Austin, New Braunfels, and San Marcos as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

Prices
Apartment Pros charges renters nothing. The FAQ answers the question "Is your service really free?" with: "Yes — 100% free to renters, always. Apartment communities pay locators a referral fee when you sign a lease, the same way hotels pay travel sites. You never pay us anything, and you get the same (often better) rent price as walking in yourself."
That is the key fact about cost, fees and pricing for a renter: the apartment community pays the locator's fee, not the person renting. The About page repeats it: "The communities pay our fee when you lease, so our service is free to you — and our only incentive is finding you a place you'll actually love." The Austin page carries the same line, "Our service is always 100% free to you," and the site footer states the service "is always free to renters." The About page adds that the company has helped over 10,000 renters and has "never charged a single one of them a dime."

The website does not publish any rebate, cash-back or referral bonus paid to renters. It describes the service as free, not as rebated, so no rebate amount should be quoted.
Separately, the FAQ notes costs a renter pays to the apartment community rather than to Apartment Pros: "Typically a government ID, proof of income (usually 2.5–3x the rent), and application + admin fees ranging $50–$150." Those are community fees, and the FAQ says "Your locator will tell you exactly what your chosen community requires before you apply." For a quote or estimate on any specific property, contact an agent — rent prices and current availability are not published on the site.

Step 1, "Tell us your criteria": "Let us know your budget, move-date, must-haves, dealbreakers, and more — a quick phone call or our two-minute questionnaire covers it all."
Step 2, "We search, you choose": "Your local assigned agent conducts a detailed custom search, narrows down your best options, verifies the specials and pricing with the apartment communities, then sets up tours based on your feedback."
Step 3, "Move in confident": "After touring your best options, we answer any questions and help guide you through the application process to get you squared away."
There are two published ways to book or schedule a search. A renter can call the office nearest them — Austin is (512) 580-9803 — or start online through the Get Started form at apartment-pros.com/get-started, described as "Two minutes of questions, then a licensed local agent takes it from here. Free, always." A general contact form is also available at apartment-pros.com/contact for questions that are not an apartment search.
On timing, the FAQ says: "Most clients get their personalized list within a day, and many tour within 48 hours. If you need a place this week, call the office nearest you — same-day tours are often possible." Meetings are by appointment, 7 days a week. Specific tour times and current unit availability are not published and must be confirmed with an agent.

Renting requirements and help with credit, evictions and broken leases
The Apartment Pros FAQ addresses what a renter needs in order to apply in Texas and what the company does for applicants with difficult rental history.
On requirements, the FAQ says: "Typically a government ID, proof of income (usually 2.5–3x the rent), and application + admin fees ranging $50–$150. Most communities check credit and rental history. Your locator will tell you exactly what your chosen community requires before you apply." Those application and admin fees are charged by the apartment community, not by Apartment Pros, whose own service is free to renters.

On credit problems, the FAQ answers "What if I have bad credit, an eviction, or a broken lease?" with: "Tell us up front — no judgment. We know which communities work with credit issues, evictions, broken leases, and misdemeanors, so we only send you options likely to approve you. It saves you application fees and disappointment."
The locator also guides applicants through submitting the application. The published third step of the process is "Move in confident": "After touring your best options, we answer any questions and help guide you through the application process to get you squared away."
The website does not publish approval criteria for any named community, does not publish a minimum credit score, and does not state that any particular application will be approved. A renter with questions about their own situation is directed to tell their agent up front and call the nearest office — Austin is (512) 580-9803.
