Stake’s licensed apartment locators make it their job to know the best deals at the best properties, allowing us to negotiate competitive lease terms for our clients. Best of all, every renter that registers on Stake is offered this personalized assistance at no cost. Not to mention the Cash Back you receive when using our free service.
Contact Your Agent ASAP
In order for us to provide you the best service it’s important that you make contact with your Stake agent as early in the search process as possible. Many properties pre-lease 60 days in advance. Contact us even before that point and we’ll follow up when it’s time to start looking. Can we handle a last minute apartment search? Certainly, but giving us as much advanced notice as possible makes our service even better.
Always Contact Us Prior to Visiting a Community
Many of the apartment communities require us to pre-register you prior to you visiting or calling them. Contact your Stake agent prior to visiting any apartment communities so we can fulfill all pre-registration requirements. This will ensure you get your Cash Back.
List Stake / UMoveFree Properly
When visiting apartments, tell the leasing staff you found the property using Stake’s service. List “Stake.rent / UMoveFree” and your agent’s name as your referral source on all guest cards and rental applications. This must occur to provide your Cash Back. Review the following page for more information on listing Stake properly.
Report Your Lease - Claim Your Cash Back
Contact your Stake agent as soon as you’ve selected your new apartment. After confirming your lease information you’ll be provided a confirmation number so you can complete our online Cash Back request process.
