APARTMENT LOCATING Q+A // How to get started, commissions, getting leads + daily schedule

[@kaytistowe8796]

I’m currently taking classes to get my Real estate license so im definitely going to keep this info my back pocket

[@alexandram]

So awesome that your commission stays the same with this new company you’re with! That’s awesome that you can do it part time or fulltime and it’s something you can balance with your small business!

[@keishapettway]

Yes!! That's how it should be lol! The flexibility is great!

[@AllysonRose]

Love hearing more about your career! That’s nice that your commission stays the same and doesn’t go back down! Happy to see you killing this alongside your small business🤍

[@keishapettway]

Thank you!!!

[@brittneycarter7751]

Can you do a video on how you generate your own leads? Can you contact new buildings you see renting units and ask them if you can take pictures and videos of their units to post

[@davidleister2661]

[@ellenajackson7877]

Do you know which management companies pay apartment locators? Or do you know how to look that up?

[@tevinmcclearykwlegacy]

Thank You! ❤️❤️❤️

[@randitochervlogs]

this is very interesting and great video Keisha

Thank you!

[@lynetterobinson252]

Hi good video. I'm very independent to do this in Wisconsin

[@EmilySmith-hc3rr]

ooh this is so interesting

[@keishapettway]

I'm glad!🙂

[@ShontayRose-Bell]

Wondering if and when AptAmigo will be hiring for ATL? Any idea?

[@keishapettway]

In a company meeting now and we’re hiring in all markets right now!

[@ShontayRose-Bell]

@@keishapettway That's awesome. Should I look for a post on the careers page soon? At the moment only IL and CO positions show as hiring.

[@keishapettway]

@@ShontayRose-Bell I know they’re specifically looking to hire people with locating experience/real estate experience/possibly even leasing experience and/or have social media accounts going! If that’s you, DM me on Instagram @keisha_nashville and I’ll get you connected!

[@kasinaford1112]

Love all the Great information!!! How do I get in touch with apt amigo?

[@mellymel9892]

With the new NAR settlement is the person who rents out the unit responsible for paying you now?

[@keishapettway]

Nope! Still getting paid from buildings

[@kenyadavis6118]

Are there any fees ($) that come with being an apartment locater?

[@AsadShaikhI]

what you recommend for good lead sources.

[@keishapettway]

I get all of my leads from Instagram and TikTok! I love social media for leads

[@IAmMariaRoChelle]

I have my Texas Real Estate license and I’m an apartment locator looking for more lead generation

[@keishapettway]

TikTok has been where 95% of my leads and closed deals come from!

[@dianamaldonado6391]

Great video. Subscribed

[@keishapettway]

Awesome, thank you!☺️

[@sadeej325]

Hey Keisha I’m recently licensed in atl , what made you decide to go with locating with apt amigo vs a brokerage as a realtor?

[@keishapettway]

Hi! Congrats on getting your license! I got into locating because I moved to Nashville, didn't know anyone and thought it'd be easier to lease apartments than find people to buy/sell to. I did try buy/sell for a few months but wasn't motivated and chose to come back to locating. I love how fast paced it is and there's constantly people moving in and out of apartments which gives me lots of potential clients (and money)!

[@maddieklein1585]

this is very interesting. i wish this existed where i live :(

[@keishapettway]

Aw! Hopefully one day!!

[@msmusicfiend]

Hi, so I live in Mi and I'm a newly licensed realtor. Does Apt amigo work for my state? Or do you know any that does? Please help 😢

[@kozmospaces8032]

Oh wait. I thought you were a realtor? I caught yours on the real estate thing. I didn’t see that you stopped.

[@keishapettway]

I posted a video about 4 months ago explaining the transition! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lV7EnmWkjK6JnrM

[@EmmaEniola-kr5de]

I'm 17 wanting to do this, can I do it independently with a license or do I have to work with a company?

[@michaelweyenberg6238]

Are these people still needed? If so what value are they providing? I tried them a few times and they did less work finding something than I did in 10 minutes on the internet. Is it pretty much a marketing job, getting customers to apartments?

[@keishapettway]

It’s a free service so doesn’t hurt to use us! My main point of value is getting my clients the best deals in the city and showing them how to get apartments that they never would have looked at in the first place because they didn’t think they could afford them

[@LifeOfKells]

Real estate itself is mostly marketing and sales like most other things, so no need to be confused there. Locators are for people who wouldn’t have wanted to do that 10 mins of research you said you did, it’s a service, so they’re assisting you in your search. Locators also get access to deals that wouldn’t be available to clients without having gone through the locator or that the client wouldn’t have been aware of on an immediate notice (for example, a place that offers a same day sign/move special, if you’ve been looking at the place for weeks, you’d think the price was what you’d been looking at for weeks vs the price you’d get for the same day signing special thats only offered that day etc.).

[@SanAntonioNewHomesForSale]

What made you leave the 1st company you worked for ?

[@keishapettway]

I didn't choose to leave. They closed their Nashville market about 3 months after I started!

[@josephjung9986]

is there a specific website to create an invoice? or free template? I just found an apartment for a client and im having a hard time creating an invoice

[@keishapettway]

We have a team that invoices the buildings so I don’t do invoicing!

[@6BlackWings]

What's a realistic annual salary?

[@keishapettway]

It reallllly depends on the market you’re in and your performance. When you google annual for Nashville it says $46k but I made that in the first 4 months of the year so it really depends on you!

[@vickysecrets2236]

@@keishapettwayI’m sold but I’m in Houston Texas

[@Mortalsaske]

Do you get paid hourly + commission ? Or do is it solely a commission based job

[@keishapettway]

It's 100% commission! No hourly pay!

[@Girlslikeus89]

Do you have to work for an apartment locator company to do this?

[@keishapettway]

Yes!

[@Girlslikeus89]

You were talking entirely too fast 😫 . This is a good video though. You were talking too fast but I don't know if I heard you correctly did you say you can get paid if they renew their lease?

[@keishapettway]

You don’t get paid on lease renewals

[@damienrockstarthholyonofg3103]

you get a thumbs down because you talk too much about yourself. I want quick, informative and then you can talk about you.

[@keishapettway]

Well that’s not how I do things. I like to speak on my personal experiences so if that’s not your vibe, I wouldn’t recommend watching my channel🤗

[@LifeOfKells]

@@keishapettwayyour personal examples are beyond helpful and provide so much necessary context! Thanks for doing your vids how you do them💯
