About The Service

ApprovedPath distinguishes itself from our 2nd Chance & Flexible Apartment List by offering customized options that specifically address your individual situation, rather than applying to a broad spectrum of approval challenges.

Exclusive Research & Data Sources

To develop your customized list, we leverage information that isn't available on any of the major rental websites or apartment community websites.

Proprietary Internal ResourcesWe leverage in-house research and private data resources we’ve developed over the years..

Agent-Only Apartment Databases - (2): We access exclusive rental requirement data available only to licensed agents. Also, we’re among a small handful of agencies in Metro Atlanta that focus on finding apartment rentals rather than solely rental homes.

Approval Guarantor ServicesTo give our clients additional options and improve their chances of approval, we also include apartments that partner with guarantor services. Through our research, we’ve identified 800+ communities that work with these services and selected two companies we believe deliver the best results. The process is simple, and approval rates are generally high.

Accuracy & Fact Checking

Once potential apartments are identified, we contact communities directly to:

  • Verify rental requirement updates

  • Confirm current availability & specials(if moving the following month)

  • Confirm participation in approval assistance programs


After this process, we deliver your curated list of apartment options.
