New Rental Finder Service

If you are moving to the Sapulpa area and you would like help finding a rent house, please contact me via email initially. We will discuss a price for services. The best way to find a place in Sapulpa is by driving around looking for "For Rent" signs. Hardly anyone advertises them. You also have to network with landlords who own multiple rentals. Please contact me if you need help finding a place to rent or any other Sapulpa information. joanrenae@gmail.com Put RELOCATING TO SAPULPA in the subject line.

Thanks... Joan

Calling all Real Estate Agents, Landlords, Faithful Citizens, and Those Wanting to Rent in Sapulpa

I have not posted here in a while. I was pleasantly surprised to see that several business owners from Sapulpa have requested their links be posted here and I have posted their links. I am going to send an email to the real estate companies in town requesting that they send me information regarding any rentals they know about. If any of you notice any rentals when you are out driving around, please send them my way so I can post them. If you know any landlords in Sapulpa, please give them my email address joanrenae@gmail.com so they can email their vacancies.

Once again, I am going to on the lookout for a new place to rent. I may already have prospect and I will post the house I am currently in when my landlord gives the green light. He and his wife are really great people to rent from however, this house is small for a family with 6 to 8 people (8 when my 2 older kids are here). One bathroom with 4 kids getting ready for school just is not cutting it. Don't get me wrong. I have oh, so many things to be thankful for and having shelter at all is one of them ;)

If you are a business owner in Sapulpa, please let me know so I can post your link. I have decided for now that this site is purely a free community resource. I will be honest, at first I wanted to find a way to make some income to compensate for my time here. But, I think providing a community service to sort of "give back" is a great thing and I feel good about doing that!

If you are a realtor or property management company or apartment complex manager or whatever, please write and let me know what you have available so I can post the information.

If you are relocating to Sapulpa or you already live here and need to post a "wanted" ad, please let me know as well.

Thanks all!

Joan

Business and Restaurant Reviews

I will be starting some reviews of businesses, restaurants, etc. here. I will try to be as honest as possible but I don't want any lawsuits on my hands or anything. ;) Most likely, I will make up a form and sort of fill out a standard form of information on all businesses. You all will be free to comment as desired. :)

Class About How to Work from Home

My husband and I both work from home. I am considering giving a class to help those who wish to find employment from home. If you have an idea where I might hold this class in Sapulpa please let me know. This class is not about an MLM or Get Rich Quick scheme. It is about finding legitimate jobs, with regular paychecks for legitimate companies.

Do you have a Sapulpa site?

If you are a business owner or have a Sapulpa related website, please post it in the comments section and I will put it in the links section on the right hand side of the blog. The goal here at Sapulpa Rentals is to publish quality content for those who wish to relocate from out of town or even for those who already live in Sapulpa and would like to move to another house or just be part of an interactive online community. Look at this as a great place to comment and get proactive toward positive changes in our community. :)

Rental Listings in the Sapulpa Daily Herald

If you would like to view listings for rentals in the our local paper, just click on the link to your right and go to "classified" then "houses for rent". In the near future, I will be contacting all the landlords in town as well as the real estate agencies to let them know about the existence of this site. I will also ask permission of the landlords who have a lot of rental properties to see if I can list their names and phone numbers here.

Why Rent?

When I came here to look for a house, some people suggested buying instead. However, there are a lot of reasons people choose to rent. These may not all be MY reasons, but they various people have various reasons. Some people prefer to rent because they know how much it will cost every month since they are not responsible for maintenance costs. Sometimes people do not have their credit established well enough to buy. When moving to a new area, some people like to rent first so they can get a "feel" for the community before commiting to home ownership. If you can think of more reasons, please feel free to post those in the comments section of this post. :)

Sub Standard Rentals

While pursuing my search for a rent home in Sapulpa, I spoke with one person who told me there were actually people in this area still renting "homes" (I would not really call it a "home") with dirt floors! The reputable landlords in Sapulpa do not condone the practice of renting sub standard property. People need to consider whether or not their rental is something they would be proud to call home before renting it to others as the majority of landlords in our town do. Have you had experiences with a slum lord? If so, let us know about it in the comments section of this post. Please do not mention specific names as I really don't care to have a libel case on my hands. Thanks!

Location, location, location

Sapulpa is situated in a great location. We are 15 miles south of downtown Tulsa. We are about 90 miles north of downtown Oklahoma City. We are situated on Old Route 66 which offers some great tradition and historical flair. The Turner Turnpike (Interstate 44) makes it an easy drive to either Oklahoma City or Tulsa and points beyond. You can find more information here: Turner Turnpike from Answers.com

When paying at the Turnpike entrances one can either pay with cash or using Pikepass.

Future Plans for this Blog

This blog will contain a lot of very useful information for current members of our community as well as prospective members of our community. I will literally be seeking out and listing every existing website for Sapulpa and posting them. Look for links to churches, lodging, attractions, dining, arts, entertainment, weather, media and much much more! :) This will give members of the community a place to go so that they might glean information about the offerings of our town. It will also give businesses a place to publicize their products and services.

Why Sapulpa Rentals?

After having moved about 80 times in 40 years, I was very surprised when I tried to find a house to rent in Sapulpa. We moved from Kansas City and I came down on a Wednesday with only 2 full days to look as I had to get home on Friday. I was only able to look at 2 houses and thank the Lord was able to sign the lease for the 2nd one or I might have gone home empty handed. Once I experienced the difficulty of finding a place to rent here in Sapulpa, I decided then that I would start this web site as a service to those who already live here but are wanting to find a new place to rent and to those who are wanting to relocate to Sapulpa. This website will include a lot of community information so that those who want to relocate can get a real feel for our community.
