Why Use a Locator?

• 1Why not? The service is completely FREE.
• 2In West Campus and North Campus / Hyde Park, most of the apartments do not have an on-site office. The easiest way to get a look inside those properties is to use a locator. It beats the “I think I went to a party there once” method anyday.
• 3A good locator can help you explore all popular student living areas, including all locations on UT shuttle routes.
• 4A good locator can explain the difference between areas (ex: West Campus vs. North Campus) in terms of convenience, price, noise level, etc.

Why Use AFS?

• 1We have an staff of knowledgeable, trained, experienced, and caring agents.
• 2We have been in business for over 30 years. We have been occupied the same West Campus location for 17 years. We will be here to help for years to come.
• 3Our agents use a sophisticated, extensive database of properties that is compiled in-house. This information includes AFS in-house properties as well as the properties that are offered by every other company in the University of Texas campus area. It includes information like move-in date, price, which bills are paid, and more. The best part is, your agent will give you a printed copy of that information to take with you. No more taking notes on your hand!
• 4We have an office. Unfortunately, some locators in the area do not. This often forces their clients to drive to–and attempt to park at–the properties on their own, risking getting lost or having their vehicle towed. We have plenty of free parking at our office and our agents will even drive you around! Don’t worry, we know where to park.
• 5We are not satisfied until you are satisfied that you’ve found a great new place to call home!
