Who We Are
A team that gets it
CribMatch was born out of frustration. Our founder went through the nightmare of apartment hunting in Austin: outdated listings, unresponsive agents, and way too much time wasted on properties that didn't even match what they were looking for.
We knew there had to be a better way. So we built it.
We're combining AI technology with real human expertise to make apartment hunting actually work the way it should. No BS, no runaround, just results. We're focused on Austin and the surrounding areas because we believe in doing one thing really well before expanding.
Our mission? Help you find a place you'll love without losing your mind in the process.
Where We Operate
Austin and surrounding areas including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Buda, Kyle, and Leander.
