Wow, I was surprised to get an email from Apartment Finders asking for a review of their services. They asked. Here it is. Don't waste your tim with them! My experience with Apartment Finders was a total waste of time. They showed me one apartment which they guaranteed was available. They asked for a full first months rent plus $149 application fee. Three days later they said the apartment was already leased and then it took them 3 weeks to refund the full months rent and only after I hounded them daily. They also never call... read more

I can only speak for myself but I had an amazing experience with Chicago Apartment Finders, although I know others would disagree. I moved to the city on July 1st and needed a place immediately! I visited 15 places on my own that I had looked up ahead of time, and they all laughed at me. The city was at the lowest vacancy rate in over 100 years at less than 3%, and nothing was available anywhere for months. As a LAST resort (my next choice was moving to the burbs) I went in here and they listened to all of my criteria (locat... read more

Chicago Apartment Finders SUCKS!!! – Their "service" is absolutely worthless. It took them a week longer than they told me it would to get response after the initial call I made (and that's only because I called again). They led me to believe that they had listings in the area I wanted only to wait until the last possible minute to tell me that the listings I wanted were either gone, not available till a later move-in date (they didn't have the dates posted on the web site), or farther west than they listed. DO NOT USE THIS ... read more

Don't Waste your Time! – Biggest waste of my time! I called a week ahead to get an appointment and was asked some information regarding what I was looking for. When I got to my appointment, I was asked to fill out the same information, and waited an hour before I was seen. When I was finally taken back to speak with someone, I was asked the same questions I had answered twice already. The agent was rude and continuously told me that I could not find an apartment anywhere for the price I was looking at and having a dog. I had... read more

Not impressed – If you have a laptop and a cell phone, you can do what these guys do. The guy who helped me had only been living in Chicago for 3 months, knew next to NOTHING about the places he was showing me, and told me that I wouldn't find anything under $1300/mo (I have since found a gorgeous blvd apartment for $1150 - and I didn't have to pay a fee to a guy for driving me around) I can see how this service would be helpful for people who don't want to do the legwork on their own, but I found it frustrating and was cons... read more

Wow, PERFECT! – I feel badly for the people who had a bad experience with Chicago Apartment Finders. They must not have had Steve Davis!!! WOW from the moment we began talking to him (my Dad and I) he was intent on finding us the PERFECT apartment and was willing to put up with my severe OCDness. After the first apartment it felt as if he knew exactly what we were looking for. Our application process was complicated by the fact that two roommates were out of state but he made it work so smoothly. I know Steve will be the fir... read more

Amazing – I was moving from Kalamazoo MI to Chicago and found this apartment finder site through google. I made an appointment with my roommate and drove down to Chicago from MI, we had an appointment at 11am and came in the lobby area was very nice and clean. The receptionist was friendly and offered us cookies and beverages, we waited for our agent to come and get us. Within 4 minutes our agent came out and brought us back to his desk, introduced himself and his name was Jon Plous. Very friendly and upfront with all the de... read more
