Poor customer service

Have been paying this company for years and have asked for a link proving what I'm paying for neither did they get me a link, so recently my credit card was comprised and I asked company to send me secure link,they said they did but I never received it so I refused to give them any information on my card not trustworthy if you ask me.

Dishonest and not real

6 months after moving in and several follow up emails later, I have no cash back. I fulfilled my end of the deal and they did not. My last email has been ignored and my request for cash back has been closed. Not worth the hassle.

Best locating service - pays YOU!

I used Lighthouse to find my apartment towards the end of last year; their website is super well designed and combined a lot of the 'typical' features you'd fine on an apartment searching website, into a really sleek interface. Combine that with the personalized help (I worked with Shelbi) and of course, the cash back!

It's a crazy business model that combines the best of both worlds; you get whatever concession the apartment is offering (free month etc) PLUS the cash back. There's plenty of apartment locators out there -we'd worked with one twice prior - but they are not going to share that locator bonus with you like Lighthouse does. I think their cashback offering has changed a few times... in my case, it was $900 cash plus 1 month free. Made out like a villain!

I was told I would get my money…

I was told I would get my money immediately. After I signed my lease on November 13th, 2023. I was told by their 3rd party that would take 2 to 4 business days. They only send an email on how to get your referral fee on Fridays after 5pm. I won’t receive my money for at least a week. I would not use them.

Best for people who get overwhelmed apartment hunting.

With this being my first time working with an apartment finder company, I honestly loved my experience with Lighthouse. Gabby did such an awesome job helping me find a new apartment. It took some time because I’m very picky when it comes to apartments but I was finally able to find an apartment I was at peace with. Thank you guys again. I will definitely be sharing my experience with friends!

I had an amazing experience with Sydney. She ensured my move in process was smooth. She checked on me daily and I received my cash rewards within one week of my move in! It helped a great deal from moving costs so it was a great reward to receive. Thank you so much lighthouse for the wonderful customer service i will use you in the future and refer my friends and family!

Gabby and Lighthouse are a winning team!

We worked with Gabby at Lighthouse recently when we were looking for an apartment in The Woodlands. Gabby was so helpful and she responded promptly to all our questions (even on the weekends!). If we had questions about the apartment, she would contact the rental company and get the information we needed. After we signed the lease, we received our cash back a week later - very fast! We would definitely use Lighthouse and Gabby again and will be recommending them to our family and friends.
