Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/01/2014 -- Austin Locators has taken the time out of their hectic schedule helping the ever-expanding Austin population find the best places to call home to answer a few basic questions about what they do and how they help the community with their apartment searching needs. Austin Locators is a tight-knit team of industry insiders with connections across the vast field of apartment communities, complexes, condominiums and rental properties. This network is invaluable to a home hunter who usually only has access to the narrow spectrum of online forums, postings and ads typically available to searchers. Enlisting the help of a team of agents like Austin Locators opens the apartment hunter up to a resource of experienced, well-trained networkers that bring all their connections and savvy to the table. When attempting to navigate the vast, obscure and high-turnover rate of the Austin apartment hunting game, there is no better tool than having the experts at your service.

There are a few basic questions that the pros often get and they've outlined them here, with quick and easy answers and some insider tips to boot:

Are Austin Locators' services truly FREE?
That one is totally true. Austin Locators collect revenue from the marketing efforts and advertising budgets of the various apartment communities they work with to connect them to new tenants.

Why should someone contact an apartment locator?
Using a professional, well-established service like Austin Locators saves time and money, and may help avoid getting stuck in a really unfortunate living situation when something much better could have been right around the corner. Locators have in-depth profiles of each apartment community's requirements and features.

When should someone begin searching for apartments?
Begin searching right away if at all possible. Some residents always keep an eye on listings even if their lease has months left on it. With the representation of Austin Locators, many apartment communities can hold apartments for up to 60 days in advance of move-in.

Can someone find better prices on his or her own?
This one's a definite NO. Apartment hunters who find listings online, in print ads or through friends will always have the same rates quoted them. The added resource of Austin Locators enables searchers the insight on specials and coupons for new tenants that can help sweeten the deal.

Does Austin Locators search for townhomes, duplexes and condos too?
Austin Locators are not only privy to apartment communities that feature townhome-style floor plans, but there is also a large network of rental properties that include homes, townhomes, duplexes and condos as well.

Austin, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/20/2014 -- Austin Locators is providing a short list of important tips to keep in mind when braving the onslaught of ads, postings and offers to consider when planning a move to Austin or moving from one apartment to another in the city limits. As one of the fastest growing cities in the country, finding the right place to live in Austin can be a challenge. It's important to balance the most important requirements against what's available for lease in the area. Moving to a new apartment in Austin can be a stressful experience, and during the high heat of the summer months any hiccups and delays can be exacerbated by 100-degree temperatures. Pre-planning and allowing plenty of time are two simple ways to make the process easier and free of unpleasant, back-breaking surprises. Austin Locators has supplied a few more tips to help even more:

Employ the skills of an Austin apartment locator. Organization and preparation are keys to scouting out and choosing the best apartment that suits crucial needs at the right price. With the amount of spaces available, new places being built on a constant basis and older places coming available on a regular basis, using the talents and experience of Austin apartment locators is an excellent way to improve results. These are the pros who are keeping constant tabs on what's available where, and how to get the best price.

Get organized. When the right place is found and it's time to sign the lease, organization can help to ensure a smooth move through the bustling, traffic-clogged metropolis. Smart movers will maintain a checklist of items and timing, and many choose to enhance the efficiency of an Austin move by hiring a professional moving company to help load and unload boxes, especially in the hot summer months. Regardless of the size of the team performing the move, the truth is that having information readily available saves valuable time.

Pack smart. After transferring belongings from one place to another, it's important to have the most critical items easily accessible for the first few days of hectic, fatigued unpacking. Prepare for this eventuality ahead of time by labeling boxes of the most important items, like toiletries, food, clothing, and crucial appliances. Unpack these first and allow some time to settle in and let the A/C kick on before getting to the less important things.

Advance preparation and the right team of friendly people at your service are the keys to a successful move. For more tips, and an in-depth look at apartments available in Austin, check out the Austin Locators website at www.heyrent.com.
