Julie was extremely nice and I appreciated all of her help. Here's my issue:
1. Local Home Hunters posts tons of ads on Craigslist with keywords like "Immediate move-in" or "Bad Credit" and "2 bedroom, $X00." This attracts people with low credit scores and people seeking to move quickly. However, when you get to their super stylish office, the pickings are slim.
2. They run a credit check for $15 and then send you to places that they think will approve you or fit into your budget. Local Home Hunters only found 4 apartments for me based on credit and affordability but Valley King Properties found 11.
3. Local Home Hunters recommended two out of four apartments which didn't even have availability. Thus wasting a trip to the respective properties. The remaining two properties I did not like or were out of my price range.
4. Unless you are willing to spend $900 or more on a 2 bedroom, Local Home Hunters can't really help you. I feel like I wasted $15 on a credit score and they ultimately did not help. Julie ignored my texts after I asked for more options. To be fair, another associate did call me the next day to check in on me but by that time I had already moved on to another rental locator.
Three stars because they were pleasant to work with and did provide some options. Overall I would not recommend as I've already stated their services were no help to me personally.
