Representing renters through relocation since 2003.

Every other party in real estate has a representative.
Renters never did.

That changes now.

Your Navigator is a local rental expert in the city you’re moving to, someone who knows the neighborhoods, understands the rental market, and represents you throughout your search. If you're looking for time saving support and professional rental guidance, Renter Navigator Network is for you.

Renting Without a Navigator, and What It Costs You

A listing that was gone before you called.

You called on Tuesday. It had been leased for weeks, but the listing was still up. Your Navigator handles that before you waste an afternoon chasing a property that’s no longer available.

Landlords who never call you back.

You leave messages. Nothing comes back or they're asking for money upfront or you’re speaking to AI who can't answer your questions. Why is this so hard? Your Navigator can weed through this for you.

A city you have only seen on Street View.

You have looked at that street on a screen eleven times. You still do not know if the airport is near and planes fly over, or whether the school is down the street and drop off and pick up line traffic comes down the road. Your Navigator is local to that city.

You can search. Search was never the hard part.

Listing sites and AI will hand you addresses all day but they can't confirm if your pet will be accepted, the school district you want is nearby, or your availability date matches the move in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use a local rental expert?

Renter Navigator Network offers several ways to connect with rental experts who specialize in the rental market. They have insight into the rental market, and they’ll save you time by managing your rental search. Customers find that a rental expert helps them identify neighborhoods and schools, find the best rental options, qualify, and make an informed leasing decision quickly. This creates a faster transition and reduces lodging costs during your relocation.

I can look at websites for rentals, what is the local rental expert doing that I can’t do?

Much like having your house cleaned or car washed, it is a time- and headache-saving convenience; however, if you’ve never rented before or are new to the area, the expert provides a wealth of local knowledge to help you understand neighborhoods, commute times, and when to start your search. If you have time to search, you may only need a phone consultation to make sure what you’re finding is what it seems. If you don’t have the time, Renter Navigator Network saves time and money.

Who are the local rental experts, and will they push me to buy?

Our local rental experts have worked with Renter Navigator Network for years, providing rental assistance. Most are real estate agents who assist with renting as well as buying and selling. They know it is your intent to rent and you are hiring them for rental assistance, and they are THRILLED to serve you.

Can the expert help me with… townhomes, or single-family homes, or condos, apartments?

View the Rental Expert’s profile. It will indicate whether the expert uses only the MLS, only apartments, and/or provides an unbiased search across all sites where rentals are listed.

Can the local expert help me with schools?

View the Rental Expert’s profile to see whether they can discuss schools. Most of our experts are licensed real estate agents, and legally, they can't “steer” you to areas or recommend one school or district over another. Therefore, they are only able to provide you with published information or guide you to places where you can find that information.

What if my plans change after I buy?

Until we start the work you can switch cities, switch dates, or take a full refund. Once the session has happened, it has been delivered, so it is not refundable. Everything else stays flexible.

Do I have to start with the session?

No. If you already found the place, buy the lease review. If you cannot get to the city and want a Navigator to walk a property for you, buy the touring day. The session is for when you want the plan before the search.

How much does a relocation consultant cost?

$89 for a session with your Navigator. Everything else is on our services page.

We can start as fast as you need us.
