"My husband and I have been looking to rent an apartment in DC and found that most realtors do not want to work with people who are not buying. The staff at Urban Igloo were top notch when it came to helping us find a rental property. They listened to our needs and then gave us information about different neighborhoods and buildings. They were time efficient and we were able to talk through places on the phone. We were so impressed with how well they knew DC, the responsiveness of the staff and how willing they were to help us. I am recommending them to my employer as a resource for future employees relocating to the DC metro area."-- Shanna E., Renter, Washington DC (July 2010)

"I would like to commend the job of my Urban Igloo Agent. She picked us up and drove us around in rush hour traffic showing us properties. She was very informative about both the area and the properties. She was friendly and was bubbling with energy. While we did not sign any apartments she showed us, I wanted to reiterate the amount of positive energy she brought to our search."-- Kevin H., Renter (May 10, 2010)

Thanks to you, I am no longer panicked about finding a place before my deadline and, even better, I appreciate the peace of mind that I’ll be living somewhere I enjoy (within my price range!). I look forward to working with you and sending other folks your way!"-- Tracey P., Renter, Arlington VA (Apr 2010)

"Urban Igloo was truly a great service. Not only did they have excellent listings, connections, and understanding of the area, but also made the effort to find what you actually wanted - not just what was available at the moment.

"Thanks to Urban Igloo I was able to secure a 1 bedroom apartment in Arlington that exceeded my expectations. I was not familiar with the area, coming from NJ, but after a short description of my specifications, I was taken to see the apartments that I immediately fell in love with. What could have been a stressful experience became smooth and enjoyable courtesy Urban Igloo."-- Danielle N., Renter, Arlington VA (Mar 2010)
"Let me first say that my experience with Urban Igloo and my leasing agent has been painless, efficient and enjoyable. I simply called Urban Igloo and left a message inquiring about help for finding a place to live and my leasing agent returned my call before the day was out. What really made the experience wonderful was that he paid attention to my needs and wants, so our time together was not wasted. Urban Igloo representatives are really familiar with specified areas of interest and locations which is very helpful when you are moving into an area you don’t know. Being a very busy executive myself and not having a lot of time to waste, Urban Igloo not only meet my needs for finding a fabulous place but they also were able to meet my move date requirement. I will be referring everyone I know to utilize the services of Urban Igloo. Thanks for all of your help."-- Ella S., Renter, Arlington VA (Mar 2010)
"I love Urban Igloo. They helped me, a Manhattan transplant, find the perfect setting for my new home in DC. By listening and asking just the right questions, Urban Igloo crystallized my thinking about where I wanted to live. We spent one day visiting various apartments in different neighborhoods. I found exactly what I needed before catching my train back to New York. My leasing agent was attentive, professional, and personable, making the whole experience quite positive, and even fun. He followed up each day until I signed the lease, and afterwards helped with furniture and other referrals since I was new to the area. I highly recommend Urban Igloo for anyone moving to the DC area. They are very thorough and get the job done."-- Maureen F., Renter, Washington, DC (Mar 2010)

"Urban Igloo was extremely helpful in finding a renter for my condo in Bethesda. Unlike other agents I've worked with in the past, Urban Igloo demonstrated a high level of professionalism and personalized service. They were always accessible and provided me with on-going feedback every step of the way." -- Rick B., Lionsgate Landlord (Dec 7 2009)
"Urban Igloo was my resource in the hunt for a renter and I can't praise them enough. They came to my property, took pictures and posted them on the Urban Igloo website. Within one month and an open house, I had a renter. Urban Igloo did the credit check, helped me construct the rental agreement, and met with the family to get the contract signed. Thank you so very much." -- Karen S., Landlord, Washington, DC (Nov 30 2009)
"On my own I had found my three previous tenants. They all moved into my condo in the late Spring or Summer. My most recent tenant moved out October 17th. I didn't have the time to meet prospective tenants during the day because I work. Having no luck advertising on Craigslist despite my three previous successes, I turned to Urban igloo. Despite the time of the year and despite the recession, Urban igloo found a new tenant for me in 2 1/2 weeks. THANKS Urban igloo." -- Natonne K., Landlord, Washington, DC (Nov 19, 2009)
"When I relocated from the west coast this month, I had a great experience working with the Urban Igloo team. They took all the stress out of researching and visiting potential apartments. Rick, Alex, and Debbie were knowledgeable, respected my search criteria, drove me all around town, and even advised me during the decision process. I appreciated their follow-up and the company proved very valuable. If you're new to DC or just want to feel confident about your next move, you should contact UrbanIgloo - a local rental market expert." -- Mashari P., Renter, Washington, DC (Oct 14, 2009)
