Most short-term rental properties are handled by real estate agents.
Most large agencies employ sales associates who specialize in short-term rentals.
Finding a rental property through an agency has its advantages. Rental agencies almost always offer descriptions and photographs of available properties and advice on the best option for your needs and desires. Most of them, in fact, maintain websites, which allow you to peruse the options at your leisure and, in most cases, actually see the property you are booking. Agents ensure that a home is clean and that its grounds are maintained. If appliances such as air-conditioning units or televisions require repair, most real estate agents are on call 24 hours a day to solve the problem.
