Real estate agencies that have an active business in both renting, and buying and selling homes can be a big help in finding a place to live. Do not confuse real estate agencies with apartment finders, rental locators, or rental brokers, who may do no more than supply you with a list in return for your money. They may do more than this but, in our area, such service providers represent a very wide range of customer service and satisfaction. Read contracts carefully before signing and putting down money. Contact our office if you have questions and concerns.
Newspaper ads can sometimes reveal some good prospects.
Reputable real estate agents are great resources - understand the contract before signing.
