Renting a House in Austin Shouldn’t Feel This Hard

Private home rentals move fast but I can help you move faster.

If you’re looking for a house, duplex, townhome, or condo, you need more than a website to look at. You need someone in your corner who is actively working for you. I focus on helping Austin renters search, find and lease privately owned homes. I personally oversee each step so nothing gets missed.

I handle custom home searches, schedule showings, coordinate with landlords, and walk you through applications. You get more options, less stress, and a better chance of getting approved, without wasting time on dead-end listings.

Why Renters Choose Me when Renting a House

I provide hands-on support from search to signing. The $250 Concierge Fee I charge includes searching, guided tours of up to five (5) privately owned homes, MLS access, appointment scheduling, direct owner/agent coordination, escorted in-person showings, application help, lease negotiation and access to me when you have questions and need answers.

Why is there an Admin Fee?

Most apartment locator services only work with large rental communities and because those buildings pay referral fees for their clients they will typically offer their services for free.

Privately owned rental homes are a different story. They often require significantly more effort, don’t allow self-guided tours, and often require direct coordination with the owner or listing agent before anyone can even step inside which is why you really want someone who is in your corner looking out for your interests.

Your private showings require:

  • Scheduling with each owner or listing agent
  • Calendar coordination and drive time between properties
  • Verifying basic qualifications and checking that the home is still available
  • Negotiating lease specifics to ensure you get what you want
  • Quick updates in real time to prevent canceled or wasted trips
  • In-person guided tours with a licensed real estate agent

The $250 admin fee covers this hands-on, time-intensive work that goes into accessing and touring privately owned rental homes that aren’t part of the traditional apartment referral system.

What’s Included with My Service?

This service is designed for renters who are looking to lease privately owned homes rather than apartment communities and want guided, professional support throughout the leasing process.

What you get:

  1. Guided tours of up to five (5) privately owned or professional managed rental homes

Privately Owned Rental Homes Only

The administrative fee applies only to privately owned Austin rental homes where you need representation and coordinated, guided showings in person for single-family houses, duplexes, townhomes, and condos. Apartment locating services are always free.

What Happens Next

Once you finish payment, scheduling, and the form, here’s what happens next:

1. Search Criteria Form Review

After you submit your home search form, I review your budget, areas, timing, and must-haves to find the best rental homes in Austin, TX. Then I set up a private rental MLS search so you only get listings that fit. From there, we pick favorites so every home on your tour is a real option.

2. Home Selection & Coordination

I’ll contact each owner, set up showings, and get access details and instructions. I handle all follow-up, share parking or entry info, and keep you updated.

3. Showing Schedule Setup

Once I confirm availability, I plan your tour based on your preferred dates and times to reduce stress, and delays.

4. Personalized Tour Itinerary

Before your tour, you’ll get a custom itinerary with homes, addresses, times, parking, access details, and any landlord notes so you know exactly where to go.

5. Day-Of Guidance

On tour day, I’ll guide you through each home and answer your questions, so you can choose with confidence, not stress.
