Apartment Hunters

I joined and found four properties I was interested in. I called all of them and all of them had been rented - some over a week ago! This service is a scam, don't waste your money. Cons: listings are all already rented more

I joined this service because I was moving to the LA area from Minnesota with only 20 days to find a place to live and knew nothing about the areas. I set up an appointment to meet with someone from Apartment Hunters (free with their service they say) well I showed up and no one was there, I had to call the company 800 number and she had to call someone to come meet me. I felt like a burden more than a paying customer. He sat down with me and did just what I had been doing for the past week, searching for apartment listings on their website. He barely let me get a word in edgewise when I was trying to tell him where I did and didn't want to live and seemed in a hurry to get rid of me. A lot of the listings didn't have pictures and that is just fishy, in todays day it should not be hard to provide a picture of the apartment complex at the least. Needless to say I did not end up finding a place to live through apartment hunters, it was a lot of money I wasted and they did nothing for me, it is actually really rather frusterating. I found my apartment through Apartment Magazine and it is nicer and a better deal than anything I found at apartment hunters. Just be aware that Apartment Hunters won't do anything for you that you can't do for yourself for free. Pros: a lot of listings, user friendly search engine Cons: don't do what they say they will do, not a lot of pictures with their listings, DEFINITELY not worth the money more

Using Apartment Hunters it only took me 2 days to find an apartment with all of the amenities I desired. They're supposed to provide some assistance in your search but I found an apartment so fast, I only used their internet resources for the 2 days I was looking so I can't comment on their personal touches. Their site had many tools and was easy to navigate. They provided an extremely up-to-date and large number of listings. The price was about $50 but worth it to avoid the headaches and footwork that go with finding an apartment. Would highly recommend. Pros: Large amount of listings, up-to-date, easy to use more
