I started my apartment hunt on my own, but quickly found the sheer amount of options almost…read moreimpossible to wade through. A friend of mine referred me to a realtor that worked at City Wide Realty. I reached out to him but found out he was no longer there, and he referred me to another realtor within the company named Claire.
I reached out to Claire, set up an appointment to go over what I was looking for apartment wise, and the adventure began. Upon arriving at the meeting, we sat down and started discussing my wants, financials, etc. She listened to everything I wanted - a fair amount of square footage for affordable rent, hardwood floors, an in unit washer and dryer, newer construction, someplace with a good rating, quiet neighbors, lots of storage space, a pool, and someplace to walk my dog. A few days later, I returned to her office, and she went over the properties she had found. Claire mapped out a few apartment communities based on my criteria, and later that day, we drove out to one on the list.
The first apartment, and actually the only one we looked at, was the Amli Covered Bridge off West Highway 71 right past the Y at Oakhill. Although a bit farther out than I had initially wanted, almost as soon as I stepped out of the car, I felt like I was home. Claire and I met with an apartment leasing agent, and we toured a couple of apartment floorplans. We returned to the leasing office to review the available units. I had my heart set on a third story place, but there was a first story apartment with a yard available, and I pounced on it. I started the application that day and heard I had been approved a few days later.
It's been almost 4 months since I signed my lease and I am still in love with this apartment! I will never look for another apartment without the help of City Wide Realty. They offered a personal, professional experience that was unmatched by any other locator service. I highly recommend if you're in the market for a new apartment, condo, etc. to contact them A.S.A.P.!
