FAQs
To become a property locator, you'll want to start by applying to brokerages that specialize primarily in property and apartment locating (like us!) Depending on the brokerage, they may require various levels of formal education. Property locators are people who enjoy helping others, are gifted in client relations, are dependable and honest, and can grow and maintain a network in their industry. If this sounds like you, you're already a great candidate!
Apartment locators are paid by the partner properties that they recommend to their client. If a locator recommends an apartment to a client and that client signs a lease, the locator receives a commission from the leasing property. Usually, this commission is the first month's rent.
According to the Texas Real Estate Licensing Act, anyone who receives compensation for helping a prospective tenant find a location to rent is required to have an up-to-date real estate license. Being licensed in Texas requires all the same steps as the rest of the United States, but there are two additional conditions to be aware of. First, you must pass the state AND national licensee exams. In addition to this, the Texas Real Estate Commission is paid for your license application fee, and has the ability to release an inactive license.
