Recently relocated from Michigan and was very skeptical of the company to begin. Basically, to my understanding, they crawled websites for places that met your needs and took a cut from those apartments. So, why did I need them, right? This would be true for 9/10 scenarios, but because I got TK as my agent, I got more than just a real estate licensed kid looking to get a cut from a signing. She took me out and only showed me places she thought were nice enough, places that fit my wants/needs/etc. She refused to take me to places she had bad experiences with, and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the neighborhoods and history of Chicago. Request TK. You won't regret it.I did end up signing through CAF for a studio in Lakeview. My only real complaint is that I'm paying more than my friends who found places independently. CAF, if you're listening, it'd be very helpful if you'd assist with salary negotiations.Overall, great experience. Thanks, TK!
