Apartment Searching with AI: The Good, the Bad, and the Useful

In this episode, we sit down with a multifamily professional who recently found herself on the other side of the leasing desk—as a real apartment hunter. Despite her industry experience, she still had to navigate the same challenges everyday renters face: comparing neighborhoods, weighing amenities, managing budgets, and ultimately making a real decision about where to live. She shares what surprised her, what the industry often overlooks about the renter journey, and how going through the process personally reshaped her perspective as a professional. It’s a candid look at searching for an apartment when you’re both an insider and a consumer.
