Olivia was amazing to work with! She really worked with us to understand our requirements for our new home and was very timely in her communication. We are moving from out of state, so she also scheduled all of our tours and attended them in person for us and video called us to show us each place. I also appreciate her honest opinions and useful feedback!

Sara was absolutely fantastic to work with and went above and beyond for us! We were completely overwhelmed by the apartment search and the need to get our daughter settled quickly. After spending countless hours searching online ourselves, Sara reached out to me—and we are so grateful she did. Sara has incredible knowledge of the Chicago Loop and guided us through several options that matched our needs. She truly listened to what we were looking for and thought outside the box to help us find the perfect fit. Our top priority was finding a safe, secure building for our 20-year-old daughter, who would be living on her own while attending school. We also needed the right location, amenities, and a management team known for providing excellent service. Sara found options that checked all the boxes. Her communication skills and knowledge of the area were exceptional. Honestly, without her, I don’t think we would have found the building we ultimately chose. She helped us discover a unit with nearly double the square footage we had been considering, in a clean, well-managed building where we felt completely comfortable signing a lease for our most precious commodity—our daughter. Thank you, Sara, for making what felt like an overwhelming process so much easier and for helping us find the perfect place for this exciting new chapter! If you’re looking for a leasing agent who responds to every concern and provides a stress-free experience instead of the dizzying process of searching online, Sara is fantastic!

While apartment hunting I accidentally called Todd about an apartment listing I saw online. I mainly wanted to ask a question about the listing, but that call lead into him offering his services to find me apartment. Honestly at first I was not interested. I thought I can find a place myself and really don’t need the help. Though over two weeks of searching extensively and filtering to my needs, it has proven difficult. Either places I liked went with a different applicants or places just didn’t fit what I wanted. Todd was confident he find me an apartment with that fits in my budgets and needs my needs. I said why not, it’s not going swell for me. Gave him the okay, informed him that if there’s place I’m not into I will vocalize it and I don’t want convinced on a place. He said not his thing and welcomed me to vocal about anything good or bad. Also told him I’m bringing my dog since he’s gotta like the place too. (He’s also well behaved that people think he’s a service dog) We setup a date to look at some apartments and Todd checked in with me few times beforehand on what he found and other items. He found 4 places to show me and again I didn’t have high hope for this. This past weekend we saw them all and I applied for one of the places on the spot, was not expecting that one bit! Todd was so helpful throughout the showings and filling the gaps on questions. All the places he found were quite nice and stayed within my budget Todd was pleasant surprise and my dog liked him a lot too. I will defiantly recommend Todd to friends and family in the future.

Dave has been an incredible and pleasant person to find apartments with. He really pays attention to detail, listens well, and doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to apartments. He constantly kept my criteria in mind when we were looking for apartments. Although I didn't find an apartment with him due to timeline constraints and other circumstances, we went on apartment viewings and he has shown me incredibly spectacular places that I would've absolutely loved to have lived in. Dave is absolutely 'The Guy' for finding apartments.

Relocated from another city to Chicago and Todd B made the transition seamless! He was able to find multiple apartments ind different neighborhoods that fit my budget with the amenities I was looking for. He was very knowledgeable about each neighborhood and an overall pleasure to work with! 10 out of 10 no notes!!

Olivia has been extremely helpful throughout my apartment search for my upcoming relocation. She helped me source and tour apartments that fit my budget, my needs and my vibe. When my friends and I came to Chicago to tour for the first time, she was accommodating, kind, and generous with her Chi-town knowledge and recommendations. She's really had my back through the whole process. Moving from NC to Chicago in 60 days for a new job, not knowing anyone, is already overwhelming enough so her support has made things a lot easier!

I was looking for an apartment and working with Amy has truly been a great experience. She is very responsive, proactive, and is always on top of things. She makes sure that she knows and understands what you’re looking for and will give options and suggestions based on that. I like that she is enthusiastic and very helpful. She works quick and is great at what she does.

Becca Premo is unequivocally one of the best in the business. I was in a real pinch trying to find a place within a couple of weeks, and she presented me with fantastic options that didn’t even show up in my Zillow searches. I distinctly remember her being knee-deep in a rom-com when she paused everything to help me find a place. While her taste in movies is questionable, her ability to navigate the wild Chicago real estate market is second to none. That pretty much sums up the level of attention she gives her clients. Her patience with my laundry list of demands and my taste, which my budget couldn’t always justify, was remarkable. She genuinely makes you feel like she’s searching for a home for herself. To top it all off, she’s an absolute charmer who helped me land a great deal that I didn’t even know was possible. I love my new apartment, and I have no one but her to thank. Also, I’m pretty sure she’s tall enough to dunk, which is pretty baller.

Isabella helped me find my dream apartment, even tho I had to move very soon she helped us find such an amazing steal, if anyone is moving to Chicago and needs to find an apartment she is hands down the best in the city not even close. I talked to 5 other brokers in the city, no one would take me because I needed to move within a week, Isabella said I can find you something, she gave me a list of at least 30 different apartments, I feel bad because I made her job so difficult but she still had a smile on her face and was delighted we found such a steal of an apartment, she is extremely extremely flexible and knowledgeable, and she got us the absolute best deal possible.  I couldn’t be happier with my apartment, she did such an amazing job. If I could give her 1000 stars I would!!!!

I inquired about an apartment online and was set up with Todd from Hotspot Rentals. Todd went ahead and got me tours for other apartments in various neighborhoods so I could make an informed decision before moving from out of town. He was super helpful and asked questions to leasing offices that would ensure I was set up for success. I ended up signing with one of the units I toured with Todd so 5 stars for him!

Eric Hodel was truly exceptional in helping us find an apartment. Within minutes of online inquiry, he gave me a phone call to understand more of what we were looking for. We needed a place ASAP, so Eric showed us two places LITERALLY ONE HOUR LATER. Everything he showed us fit what we were looking for, and we applied for the second place we saw. Throughout the process, he was communicative, easy to reach, and helped us problem-solve so we could apply and get approved quickly. I would definitely work with Eric again and would absolutely recommend him.

I wasn’t initially planning on finding my new home with a leasing agent, but Todd reached out to me in the middle of my apartment search and I couldn’t be more grateful. With his expertise, professionalism, and efficiency I was able to find the perfect place that checked every single box. Moreover he was so personable and understanding about all of my needs. The entire process was seamless. I will definitely be coming back to Todd at Hotspot rentals the next time I plan to lease!

I started my apartment search in May and continued until late July. I met James the end of July after 10+ tours with no luck. I initially had a specific place in mind to tour with James but it was taken before we got to go. He asked what I was looking for & immediately had 2 other tours lined up! Both of those were pretty successful as it ended up being the two my roommate & I wanted to settle on. We ended up going with the first apartment that James knew would fit our needs. After we applied he helped follow up & continued checking in. Truly felt cared for 10/10 experience, truly couldn’t be more grateful!

I want to sincerely thank James for all of his hard work and dedication in helping me find my home. He went above and beyond to make every viewing experience comfortable, often arranging four or five apartments for us to see. When we ran into an obstacle, James reassured me to let him do his job and that he would figure it out—and he did exactly that. His patience, professionalism, and genuine care made me feel like family, especially during such an important transition in my life. I truly appreciate everything he did and am so grateful for his support.

I worked with Vatsal Patel at Hotspot Rentals while looking for a place near UIC, and I honestly could not have asked for better help. I was moving to Chicago from out of state with a tight timeline and very little idea of the neighborhoods, and he was patient with all my questions, even the basic ones. He listened to what I actually needed instead of pushing me toward whatever was easiest to close. He was quick to respond, straightforward about pricing and availability, and never made me feel rushed into a decision. When I ended up at Presidential Towers, he walked me through the paperwork and follow-ups without me having to chase him for anything. Moving to a new city is stressful, and having someone who is this genuinely helpful and respectful made a big difference. Thank you, Vatsal. I would strongly strongly recommend him to anyone searching in Chicago

If you’re looking for an apartment in Chicago, I highly recommend working with Todd. He genuinely cares about helping his clients find the right place. Thank you so much, Todd!

I cannot recommend Todd enough! Apartment hunting in Chicago had honestly started to feel overwhelming, but Todd made the entire process so much easier. He really listened to what I was looking for and was incredibly responsive, patient, and helpful throughout the entire search. What stood out most was that I never felt like he was just trying to get me into any apartment. He genuinely wanted to help me find somewhere I loved and that actually fit what I was looking for. When we finally found the one, he stayed on top of everything and even reached out to the property immediately after I submitted my application to make sure they knew it was in. He was also just genuinely fun to work with — personable, encouraging, knowledgeable, and never pushy. Apartment hunting can be stressful, especially when you're balancing budget, location, amenities, and a million other little things, and having someone in your corner throughout the process made such a difference. I’m SO excited about my new place and genuinely don’t think I would have found it without him. I also have a habit of moving around more than I probably should, so Todd may unfortunately be stuck with me as a repeat client 😂. Whenever the next move happens, I already know who I’m calling. 10/10 experience. If you're apartment hunting in Chicago, I absolutely recommend Todd!

The service was amazing. Mataeo assisted me with my apartment search. He was diligent and considered the criteria for my needs with each apartment. Mataeo communicated and coordinated all locations, fees, assessments, and showings with me every step of the way. He was also very professional and maintained outstanding customer service all throughout the process. Highly recommend!!

As a physician, I had limited ability to attend in person tours during my most recent apartment hunt. A friend highly recommended Isabella to help me navigate the process, and she completely eliminated the guesswork from day one. Every great thing I had heard about her was validated immediately. Within an hour of my initial outreach, she didn't just respond—she had an entire game plan ready to roll. Her timeliness and initiative are on another level. By the very next morning, she was already out in West Loop + Fulton Market, sending detailed videos of units that perfectly matched my parameters. She very clearly understands the lay of the land across multiple management groups and Chicago neighborhoods. On the rare occasion she didn't already have the answer to one of my questions, she knew exactly how to get it promptly. Even unprompted, she routinely went out of her way to physically scout buildings I was simply curious about, keeping the entire process organized and focused on my needs. Where relocating can be stressful, she makes it easy. And whenever things felt overwhelming or difficult to navigate, her presence / insight felt like having a set of boots on the ground at all times. It’s hard to imagine anybody doing this job better than Isabella.

Amy was truly wonderful! She came into our touring session well researched and with a positive attitude. She found some beautiful apartments to tour that fit my needs and location preferences well and by the end of the afternoon I had found the perfect apartment for me and my dog. Thank you!

Mateo was amazing!! We found ourselves in a difficult situation after our original rental fell through. We had less than 2 days to find a new place and Mateo was fantastic. With very short notice he was able to find several rentals that matched all our requirements! Great communication and very friendly. Highly recommend.

I worked with James finding an apartment. I was moving from out of state and wasn’t as familiar with the area. James was knowledgeable, kind, and helpful at every step of the journey. He was able to find me an apartment in my desired neighborhood, in the floor plan I wanted, and within my budget, all in 5 days. He took care of every step; researching, scheduling tours, sending photos, videos, and thoughtful recaps (the list goes on!). I would highly recommend working with Hotspot Apartment Rentals!

Brendan Ryan made apartment hunting in a brand-new city so much easier than I expected. I'd only been in Chicago a few days when I started my search, and he reached out right away after I inquired about a building he works with. He put together a full afternoon of tours that were genuinely tailored to what I was looking for, and he was refreshingly candid the whole time, even before we'd met in person, starting from our very first messages, walking me through how the Chicago rental market actually works instead of just selling me on units. His knowledge of the buildings and the industry was next-level. He knew every property inside and out, right down to which units had features you wouldn't notice on a quick walkthrough. He pointed multiple unique features out in the unit I ultimately chose, including an incredible view that ended up being a big part of why I signed. I actually chose the very first apartment I toured that day. If you're relocating to Chicago and want a realtor who's responsive, sharp, and genuinely on your side, ask for Brendan. Could not recommend him more.

Malak was incredibly prompt, responsive, and helpful throughout my apartment search. I had a somewhat complicated financial situation, and he took the time to communicate with the leasing teams and help me navigate the process. I was working with a very tight timeline, budget, and specific needs, but he quickly found multiple suitable options within the same day and even toured apartments on my behalf. He made a stressful search much easier, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an apartment in Chicago!

Dave was absolutely amazing! He was personable, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. His idea to use his Meta glasses during the tour was iconic—it allowed me to relive the moment I first saw my new apartment whenever I want. Now I have that experience captured forever, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you for making such an exciting milestone even more memorable!

Dave was a great help in my apartment search. Without him asking the right questions and helping me realize what was really important to myself I would like still be dealing with other pushy brokers and still searching for the right spot for me.

I never write reviews, but I had such a wonderful experience working with Cassandra Kleinshmidt that I had to share.   I was looking for an apartment for my 20 year old son in downtown Chicago, near his college. We live in Southern California which made researching neighborhoods and finding available units close to school and in our price range even more challenging.   I literally spent weeks going thru Apartments.com, Zillow, Craigslist, Domu, all of them!  Only to be frustrated by unreturned calls and missing out on prospective apartments as they went so fast and we were not physically present in Chicago.  I inquired about an apartment on HotSpot Apartment Rentals and Cassandra got back to me immediately.   She suggested a phone call to find out more about what we were looking for and spent at least a half an hour chatting with me about my son, his school, our budget and what we were looking for. She sent me a video of a fantastic apartment that was not on any of the lists I had seen and was only a 3 minute walk from my son’s school.  A huge plus during a Chicago winter!  She advised me on many other great units to look at as well, but we ultimately went with the first place she showed us which was perfect.  Cassandra has such an understanding or each Chicago area and wonderful relationships with so many of the great buildings, she even helped us thru the leasing process with our new landlords.  I could not recommend her more and only wish I would have found her sooner, would have saved me so much time!  And we could not have asked for a more perfect home for our son.  So grateful to Cassandra, call her!

Jack was fantastic to work with throughout our apartment search. He took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and was consistently proactive in sending us new listings that matched our preferences. He never pressured us to like a place or rush into a decision, and we always felt like he genuinely wanted us to find the right apartment. His communication was excellent from start to finish. He was responsive, organized, and always happy to answer our questions. He also made touring apartments easy by coordinating everything and driving us between showings. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Jack and Hotspot Rentals to anyone looking for an apartment in Chicago. You are in great hands with him.

We’ve used Hotspot Rentals twice now to find an apartment, and both times Amy Solomon made the whole experience so easy! From the start of our search she genuinely cared about finding us a place that actually fit what we needed instead of just pushing us into whatever was available. She made time to get us in to see units quickly, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and just made everything feel manageable instead of overwhelming. What really stood out was how much she cared beyond just getting the deal done. She even continued to check in with us after we’d moved to see how things were settling in. Apartment hunting can be so stressful, but Amy took so much of that off our plate and made the whole thing feel easy. We can’t recommend her enough!! Five stars no question!!

Dave was incredibly helpful in finding a unit to my liking. Although he did not get back to me until about a month after my initial message, he helped me find an apartment in just a few days once we connected. His sense of urgency and thoroughness were so valuable in my otherwise unsuccessful apartment hunt. Highly recommend especially for those relocating from out of state as he offers video calls during tours, sends over videos of properties if live tours are not available, and provides helpful insight on neighborhoods, vibes, etc.

He chose great sites, took notes throughout the tours, communicated clearly before and after our session, and was generally a joy to be around. I would not want anyone else showing us around the city, and I recently found my dream apartment because of him. His passion and experience were refreshing. Thank you, James!

I was new to the city when I moved here four years ago, and Azalia helped me find the perfect apartment right from the start never once a complaint. She really listens to what you're looking for and factors in your commute, non-negotiables, and deal breakers to find a place that actually fits. Hands down the best leasing agent in town. I've referred multiple friends to her, and every one of them has been thrilled with the experience. Could not recommend her more.
