Best way to home hunt
Staff Pick
With Craigslist now officially an abyss of spam, where are you, poor renter, able to find a decently priced apartment in your dream neighborhood? Meet ProMove. The Atlanta-based company has been helping renters find apartments for free since 1990. Go into one of its five metro Atlanta "stores" and tell one of the reps exactly what you're looking for. If you long for an East Atlanta bungalow with oodles of charm, be specific — they're not mind readers. They then provide a database of potential dwellings you can access remotely and will set up the walk-throughs so you don't have to play phone tag with the rental agent. Sound too good to be true? Management companies pay ProMove through their ad budget so it doesn't cost you a dime. Now if only you could get "House Hunters" to document the process. 3005 Peachtree Road. 404-842-0042. And other metro Atlanta locations. promove.com.
