Whats the difference between a Realtor and an Apartment Locator?
• All Realtors and Apartment locators are real estate agents. That means they are licensed by the state of Texas to practice Real estate. An apartment locator does not necessarily have to be a realtor, however. Only a Realtor has access to MLS, (Multiple Listing Service), the database that Realtors use to list property owned by an individual owner for sale and for lease. The Apartment databases that most Apartment only locators use only lists apartment and townhome communities that are owned and managed by companies. We at Metro Apartment Locators are Realtors as well as Apartment Locators and utilize both apartment databases and the MLS system of private listings.
