FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost for your service?
To use our service, it is 100% FREE! Plus, by using us as your referral, we will give you a rebate up to $150*!
IF YOUR SERVICE IS FREE, HOW DO YOU GET PAID?
We get paid a referral commission by the apartment that you choose to lease from. Just write "Mike Spacek with Exceed Realty" on the guest card and lease application for the apartment that you choose.
Do you only search apartments?
No, we can help you locate the perfect Condo, Hi-Rise, or Town Home, if you do not want an apartment for rent.
do you only search apartments in the houston area?
No, we can help find apartments in Houston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio and Austin.
Any apartment community that provides a referral commission to us qualifies for the apartment rebate program. We are licensed to receive referral commissions from every apartment in Texas. However, not every apartment pays these commissions, so before you sign your lease, be sure to ask.
We request our referral commission as soon as we receive your completed "Report Your Lease" form. Once we verify that "Mike Spacek with Exceed Realty" was listed as the referral source on the property’s guest card and lease application and we receive the commission from the rental property, we can process your apartment rebate request.
It usually takes 30-90 days for an apartment property to issue our referral commission. Once we receive our commission, we process your apartment rebate request within one business day and then mail you your apartment rebate.
