How Average Joe's Works

Local apartment help without the stress.

A guided partnership — not just another search tool. Here's the playbook.

STEP 01

Tell us what you want

Share your area, budget, lifestyle and must-haves. Takes about 90 seconds.

STEP 02

Get a curated shortlist

We compare properties across DFW — neighborhoods, amenities, specials — and send 3–5 strong matches.

STEP 03

Tour the ones you love

We help schedule tours, prep questions, and decode lease specials so nothing surprises you.

STEP 04

Move in & get rewarded

Sign your lease and you may receive up to $500 cash back, depending on the community you choose.

Where we locate

We know DFW like a neighbor.

From downtown high-rises to suburban garden communities, we cover the whole metroplex — and we know what's actually worth your time.

Why use a locator

Move smarter. Get rewarded.

An apartment locator is a free shortcut for renters. We do the legwork — properties pay us — and you keep the rebate.

Free for renters

You pay nothing — properties cover our fee. We work for you, not them.

Up to $500

Cash rebate after move-in

Eligible renters may receive a rebate after move-in, depending on the community selected and program terms.

Local insight, not lists

We live here. We know which buildings actually deliver, and which ones look better online than they live.

Curated to your life

Commute, dog park, gym, garage, school zone — we filter for what actually matters to you.

Saves you 10+ hours

Skip the endless scrolling. We hand you a tight shortlist usually within 24 hours.

Lease specials decoded

"One month free" isn't always the best deal. We translate the fine print before you sign.

The rebate, explained

A thank-you check for moving smart.

Apartment communities pay locators a referral fee when a renter signs a lease. We share most of that fee back with you as a cash rebate after you move in.

  • Rebate amount is up to $500, based on the community.
  • Paid after you sign and move in, typically within 60 days.
  • Stacks with most property concessions and move-in specials.
  • You list Average Joe's as your locator before touring — that's it.

Eligible renters may receive a rebate of up to $500 depending on the apartment community selected and applicable program terms. Not all communities participate.

Frequently asked

Real answers, no fluff.

Don't see your question? Text us at (214) 966-9418 or drop your details and a locator will reach out.

How much does Average Joe's cost?
Nothing — our service is free for renters. Apartment communities pay us a referral fee when you sign a lease. We share most of that fee back with you as a rebate.
How do I qualify for the rebate?
List Average Joe's as your locator before your first tour, sign a lease at a participating community, and move in. Your rebate amount depends on the community you choose. Eligible renters typically receive their rebate within 60 days of move-in.
Which DFW areas do you cover?
The whole metroplex — Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Denton, Irving, Arlington, Allen, Richardson, Grapevine, Lewisville, and most surrounding cities.
How fast will I hear back?
A locator usually reaches out within a few hours during business days, and you'll have a curated shortlist within 24 hours of your first call.
Can I still negotiate or use property specials?
Absolutely. Your rebate stacks with most concessions and move-in specials offered by the property. We help you read the lease specials and negotiate where possible.
Do you work with renters who have pets, roommates, or credit issues?
Yes — we know which DFW communities are pet-friendly, roommate-flexible, or open to working with renters who have credit challenges. Just tell us your situation and we'll match you to communities that fit.
Why use a locator instead of just searching online?
Listing sites show you everything. We show you the right matches — based on what you actually need — and we know which buildings live up to their photos. Plus, going through us unlocks the rebate.
