We'll call or text the same day during hours with your shortlist plan. - Licensed Texas brokerage Spirit Real Estate Group, LLC, TREC #562021 - Free to renters Communities pay the brokerage. Your rent is the same either way. - Prices pulled every morning Every card shows the date and time it was pulled - Score can't be bought Commission rates never affect score, sort, placement, or picks Why it goes wrong ## Why calling buildings yourself takes so long Problem 1 ### Twenty offices, twenty answers Each leasing office quotes its own special, lease term, and fee list. Comparing them takes hours of calls and follow-up. Problem 2 ### Fees come late The written fee sheet usually arrives with the application. Required fees ran $78-$228 a month at 12 board buildings (Oct 25, 2026). Problem 3 ### Year two is missing Quotes cover year one. Renewals price from base rent, so the real cost shows up at month 10. So we make the calls, get the fee sheet first, and show year two on every pick. Straight answers ## Before you send the form Direct answer first, then the source and date. If your question isn't here, ask us on the form or by text. ### What happens after I submit the form? We call or text the same day during hours with your shortlist plan. Before we send picks, we confirm the unit, the special, and the written fee sheet with each community. ### Do I pay anything? No. Communities pay the brokerage, Spirit Real Estate Group, LLC, and your rent is the same either way. ### What should I put for my budget? Your all-in monthly number, including fees and parking. We'll do the math: net effective plus required fees, an electric estimate, water, and parking. ### Can I text instead of calling? Yes. Text 512-000-000 during hours (Mon-Fri 8 AM-8 PM · Sat 9 AM-6 PM · Sun 12-5 PM). ### Why do you ask about income? To pre-check approval before any application fee. Most communities want about 3x the rent; a few test against rent after the special. ### Can you guarantee a price or approval? No. The community sets both price and approval. We confirm them in writing before you sign.
