Discover a High-Earning Career Path in Apartment Locating: Maximize Flexibility and Income

Have you ever wondered how much apartment locators make? The real estate world is rapidly changing, and one of the most intriguing and lucrative career paths emerging is apartment locating. With recent industry shifts—especially due to the **NAR lawsuit—many traditional real estate agents are transitioning to apartment locating for its lower liability, location freedom, and high earning potential. Agents are looking for more flexibility and less risk, and apartment locating offers exactly that.

Unlike residential real estate, where clients buy homes every 5-10 years, apartment locators have the opportunity to work with clients who rent every year. This means steady, recurring income, as most apartment buildings offer one month’s rent as commission. With 20-100 clients per month, apartment locators can generate a significant income stream—many top agents in this niche report making $20K to $50K per month.

Moreover, as remote work becomes more popular, many real estate professionals are seeking careers that offer location independence. Apartment locating fits perfectly, allowing you to work from anywhere while building a profitable, sustainable business. It’s an exciting path for individuals of all ages looking to break into or shift within the real estate industry.

The apartment locating industry is booming**—just look at Smart City Apartment Locators, which saw explosive growth, reaching over $40 million in profit in 2021. Their revenue grew 144% between 2017 and 2019**, with annual earnings increasing from $7.7 million to over $22 million. This niche is expanding, with apartment locators driving the rental market in at least 7 states and growing.

Many agents feel their current brokerages don’t provide the necessary on-demand or live training for apartment locating, which leads to frustration and causes them to bounce between companies. That's why we created the School of Leasing—to offer comprehensive training and empower agents to excel in this field. Most accredited real estate schools don’t cover apartment locating, which leaves agents without the guidance they need to succeed in this niche.
