BROKER ADMITS: You don't have to pay rental fees

Welcome in on another FiQ Friday! Today we're exploring something I have lot of experience in - renting apartments. In pricey markets, it's tough to avoid the pesky apartment broker fee, but as someone who charges those fees, I'm detailing ways to avoid them and save you thousands! Let's dive into the essential tips:
🔍 Key Tips:
- Utilize popular websites like Zillow and Craigslist.
- Join housing groups on social media for potential lease takeovers.
- Explore neighborhoods for "For Rent" signs, an old-school but effective method.
- Directly approach leasing offices for luxury units in complexes.
🌟 Stand Out When Dealing Directly:
Prepare a pre-application package showcasing yourself, rental information, references, and more. Treat it like a job interview to impress landlords and beat the competition.
💼 Choosing the Right Agent:
Don't settle for the listing agent; explore the brokerage's roster for experienced agents. Check reviews on various platforms to ensure you're working with a capable professional.
🔗 Brokerage Dynamics:
Different brokerages have different listings. Work with multiple agents to access a variety of inventory and get the most value out of your broker fee.
📈 Maximize Your Search:
As someone who has been in the industry since 2014, I can tell you a capable agent can make your search easier with better market knowledge and negotiating skills. Consider working with multiple agents simultaneously to view a maximum number of listings.
