Maven Realty

I have totally had the best experience with Maven Realty on Highland. I saw a place that I loved yesterday and signed the lease today with absolutely no hassle or run-around or anything confusing. The fee was reasonable and the agent I worked with [Eddie] was great and personable and, when I arrived to see him for my first appointment, he had a half-dozen places lined up for me to look at with no pressure on any of them. The landlords that Maven works with apparently have long relationships with the company and that made the process that much smoother.

I have NOT had good experiences in the past when apartment-hunting or renting, but I'm incredibly happy with the results this time around and, as January is a crap month to try and find a place, I thought a little hope might be helpful for other folks in the same position as me.

I got a second floor two bedroom about a mile or so from Davis, up near the end of Powderhouse Blvd. Free W/D, wood floors, huge walk-in closets, two living rooms. He didn't show me anything that was absolutely awful.

According to Eddie, if you want to be IN Davis and on top of the T, you need to move between August and September and the competition is pretty fierce for in-square and very-close apts...nevermind expensive. Apparently, if you don't mind walking a bit, there's a LOT of good stuff outside of the square...and you can get good stuff now, so Eddie says, for really cheap. Most of the stuff I saw was 1100-1300 for two bedrooms.
