Apartment Detectives

1. Premium Home Search
This search makes the hunt for an apartment or a rental home easier for busy people or  those who are relocating from out of the area. With your list of specifications, we make all the calls to see what is available for you when you need it to be. Our results are apartments and rental homes that are available and suit your needs and budget. We go to the properties, take digital photos and email them to you. With our help you can make your decision from where ever you happen to be, and in most cases complete a lease by fax and phone. In many instances, our clients are able to pick up the keys to their new home as soon as they arrive in town!

2. Advanced Home Search
If you are planning to come and look at a few properties and you only have a day or two in your schedule, our Advanced search is for you. In one eight hour day we take your list of specifications and make all the calls to see what is available for you when you need it to be. We schedule appointments for you to see actual apartments that are available when you need to move and that suit your needs and budget. You can see as many or as few properties as you like. We provide an itinerary and directions from point to point to make your search as hassle free as possible.

3. Basic Home Search
If you are pressed for time or on a tight schedule, our Basic Home search might fit the bill. In a half day of searching, we generally cover 3 to 4 neighborhoods, scheduling as many appointments as your schedule and market availibility will allow. We provide an itinerary and directions from point to point to make your search as easy as possible.

3. Hourly Consultation
Booked with a two hour minimum by phone. This service is useful for people with more time in their schedule to look on their own, but have questions regarding searching for an apartment in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Maryland and the current state of the market for those not familiar with the ever changing DC metro housing market. These apartment searches can be done for long or short term leases, rentals, furnished or unfurnished apartments, condominiums, houses or townhouses.

The fee for this service is paid for by you, which ensures that Apartment Detectives'  first priority is getting you into an apartment, condominium, townhouse or house that is appropriate for you.

Testimonials

"I absolutely love the apartment and the neighborhood. Everything has worked out extremely well and I don't plan on leaving here anytime soon. I never would have found it without you, and I'm glad I made the move!"
Zach, Glover Park

"Thanks again for all of your help. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know moving to DC."
Dolores, Tenley Town

"Dear Nancy, First off, I wanted to thank you very much for your good work on the apartment search: I was very impressed with your results and will definitely recommend you to others."
Lee, Penn Quarter

"Nancy, I want to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with you during my search in DC. If it hadn't been for your persistence-I don't know what I would have done. I can't thank you enough."
Daryl, Cleveland Park

"Dear Nancy, I write this brief letter to offer you my sincere thanks for assisting me in finding such a wonderful apartment in the Cleveland Park area. The serenity of the place is more ideal and will serve as a fruitful place for me to unwind as I transition from an academic to a government career. I certainly would have been unable to find such and apartment without the aid of your service. It was money well spent. I wish you future successes in finding future customers comfortable places to live."
Peter, Cleveland Park

"Dear Miss Simmons: I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your assistance in helping my fiancé and me find an apartment in DC. ......... Relocating from New York and studying for the bar exam at the same time, made searching for an apartment in DC very difficult. Your service made the search immeasurably easier. Further, your kindness in allowing me to call you and answering my questions was invaluable in helping us to make our decision. Without your assistance I don't think we would yet have an apartment. I only wish I had known about your company earlier so I could have avoided a lot of wasted time and stress. When we move in the future our first call will be to Apartment Detectives. Thank you again for your assistance and consideration."
Mike, Woodley Park

I was frustrated trying to find an apartment, I was searching for weeks for the right place, I called Nancy and within less then a day she had me in the perfect place.  It was worth it, wished I called her weeks before.  Thanks Nancy.
