Ever been ecstatic about an apartment, up all night preparing documentation, dreaming about furniture orientation, up early to be on time for the appointment…only to be stood up?!? More and more prospective renters are being left hanging by their realtor of choice. Majority of the time this happens because the apartment they fell in love with via pictures really doesn’t exist. In order to prevent this- research your agent. There is nothing wrong with interviewing your agent on the telephone or in person. Look them up on Google, Yelp, Yahoo etc. Nine times out of ten once you hear them talking you know if they are full of crap or not. The same way you thoroughly research apartments is the same way you should research your agent.
