Estate Rent Do real estate agents help you find homes to rent? If so what kind of fees do they charge?
I'm getting a new job soon and currently live in a house, but I would like to rent a house where I move to. A lot of homeowners are renting now in the market, but do brokers or real estate agents help you find homes to rent? I've never heard of that, but maybe they do?
We have used real estate agents to help us find rental properties each time we have had to move to a new State and have never been charged. The property agents may pay them for the referral. We have also then used the same agent to find our new home so in the end they get paid by us. When you are new to an area, it's best to have a local direct you to the best location for you. Websites don't talk to the quality of the area the rental is in. That is too big a risk.
Finally, a real estate reality check that cuts through all the biased rhetoric to answer the conundrum on everyone`s mind: Should I buy now or keep renting? The magnitude of the housing crash and constantly conflicting reporting have left prospective buyers hungry for a well-researched reference guide.

After LOI is accepted, landlord will proceed with requests made by tenant (e.g. provide additional furnishings, cleaning, servicing works)
Concurrently, the legal Tenancy Agreement (TA) will be prepared and signed by both parties
