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!

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.
