Annette is amazing! She did such incredible work(even in the weekends and a holiday) and I really felt like she was in my corner the entire application process. I'm super excited to move into my new place!!!

I was very lucky to have been in contact with Annette L who was absolutely wonderful helping me with my apartment search. I was in a sticky situation where I was abroad and couldn't tour apartments myself, but she put in so much care helping me tour the apartments virtually, being so efficient with communicating every step of the way and helping me secure a place to live. So grateful for her!

My partner and I started working with Mike after he showed us a place we found on our own. That place wasn’t right for us, but Mike did an awesome job working with us and all the things we were trying to balance to find a place that fits all our needs while also being super friendly and timely with follow ups. Cannot recommend working with this group enough!

This is my very first home I will live in by myself. I worked with Maksym Khabrenko and he was terrific. He responded quickly and was on time to show me the apartment. He worked quickly to answer any questions I had and made the application process seamless and easy. I definitely recommend Landstar Realty and my agent Maksym. I will definitely reach out to Landstar for my future home search.

I had the privilege of working with Barbara to find an apartment to call home. Moving across the country and looking for an apartment during that can be incredibly stressful, but Barbara made the process as easy as possible.
We looked at a handful of apartments, and she made sure to listen to all my concerns, as well as everything that I was looking for as well. She was incredibly punctual and communicative, which made working with her so lovely.
When we found the area & building that I wanted to live in, she advocated for me to get a unit with a bigger kitchen & more cabinet space. She then walked me around the neighborhood to show me what was nearby.
I am so grateful to have had Barbara be the person I worked with. The process was easy, quick, and even fun! She went above and beyond.

Crystal, and Bridget are live and GPA savers. They are efficient and honest. They aren't going to BS you around town showing you places nobody wants or places way out of your price range. Straight Service. You don't worry about being just a quota with them. You are treated as an individual and they really do listen to your preferences and they pay great attention to the details. They also are willing to "ask". Landstar as a whole isn't selling snake oil & pipe dreams. They are selling Property. First come first serve basis. ORDER UP! Thanks again to everybody!

I can’t sing Crystal’s praises enough for her help in getting me my apartment! She was communicative, quick in getting me approved, and so kind throughout the entire process. I really was taken care of and will be recommending to anyone I know looking to find their next home!

Crystal listened to what I wanted and showed me a bunch of places. She was very diligent and followed up on everything. She made the whole process much much easier than it would have been without her. I would recommend her to anybody. Plus she's fun to work with!

My experience with Landstar Realty was painless, quick, and amazing. My leasing agent Mark Smith was extremely attentive and was able to work with my extremely short timeline to find me a perfect apartment in time for work. Easy to contact and overall one of the best leasing experiences I've been through yet.

Crystal is the best. She helped us buy our first home and we could not have done it without her guidance. She made us feel like family, we knew we were in good hands from day 1.
