Real estate agents for SMU students, parents, faculty, and alumni: rent, buy, or sell in the SMU corridor.

Free for renters. The buildings compensate us. We work with the same group of communities all year, so we know where SMU students actually live and when the best deals come up.

For SMU families weighing buying instead of renting. It starts with a strategy call to see if it makes sense for your family: a condo for four years, a house hack where roommates help carry the property, homestead planning, and what happens after graduation.

When it's time to sell a property near campus, we bring what most listings can't: a network of SMU families who want exactly what you own, and agents who can speak to its value.
For most students, this is their first apartment search. Whichever way you go, you get an agent in your corner, and the building pays for it, not you.
One contact for your whole search. We send you a shortlist of buildings, tour them with you in person, and negotiate your deal. Just write “Pony Up Properties Group” on your application when you apply.
Already know where you want to live because you saw one of our property ads? Tour on your own time. File a claim before you contact or tour the building, then write “Pony Up Properties Group” on your application when you apply. We rebate a portion of our commission back to you.

That focus is the whole business: SMU transactions, nothing more and nothing less, built on transparency, trust, and integrity.
Built by people who lived the SMU housing search themselves.

Milo founded PonyUpProperties as an SMU student after watching classmates and their parents struggle through the same housing search every year, and realizing the market needed agents who actually live inside the SMU community, not outside it.
“When you call, you get an agent who knows the buildings, knows the managers, and knows what an SMU semester actually looks like.”

Caitlyn runs everything behind the scenes that makes PonyUp feel effortless. She coordinates tour schedules, keeps applications and paperwork moving, and makes sure every deadline in your move is tracked to the day.
Most of our clients start from another city, so the whole process is built to run remotely: live virtual tours, digital applications and signatures, and remote online notarization for closings.
You never need to be in Dallas until move in.
