I was trying to reach out to the property management company about a property @11:15a. I have not received a call back. It’s been 4 days.
They secure a tour
They secure a tour. they match aprtments well. and the apartments are vetted.
It works well for you searching yourself. Not helpful with their suggestions
It works well if you are looking for ourself, the suggestions that they email never seem to match what you are looking for. Example. 2bed 2 bath is what we have been looking for, but we constantly get suggestions for 1 bed 1 bath or even studios. And they constantly email about these types of rentals that will not work for us.
I like getting the daily updates on…
I like getting the daily updates on available apartments. They don’t always align with my maximum rental allowance, but usually I can select from the offerings, those listings that meet my criteria so I can tag them as part of a dedicated and thorough search for best matches. It’s a good site with multiple listings to meet the needs of those seeking rentals in any given geographic area.

It's fairly easy to use to search apartments. Showing much of the Metro St. Louis area allows for larger search areas as well as zip codes. Only thing to make better is to allow for low income/disability places to be searched and messaged on requirements.

I would have rated 5 stars however the EMAILS are way TOO much. Since creating an account 1 day ago I have received 7 emails-no lie. Besides that, so far Love all the filtering you can do while using the appt.

Poorly designed, confusing to use, lots of login issues, most recent posts are several months old.

I feel very frustrated because when I see an apartment that interests me, based on availability, the rental price, etc., when I contact the place, nothing is true. The price is higher, there's no availability, and if there is, they have a waiting list of around five years. And when I go to see it in person, it's very different from what's in the photos.

The phone number for the apartment I was inquiring about is no longer in service.
Bad responding
There are so many apartments that are listed. They don’t get back to you. I’ve called them multiple times emailed even reached out via the website and I hear nothing back. I think that they should do something about not having apartment to get back to potential applicants.
Everything has been so easy!

These places are not calling or emailing back. This has been no help. It would be helpful if you actually stated that they have openings or not.
