Finding a living space to suit your needs and budget can be quite a challenge. From the landlord's perspective, the search for a reliable and trustworthy tenant can be equally daunting. Fortunately, a real estate agent can simplify the process for both parties.
For tenants
Rental properties are only occasionally in short supply. However, some listings can be problematic due to inaccurate photos, unreasonable requests or discrimination. A real estate agent can help verify the legitimacy of the property and guide you through all the legal stages of the rental process.
Real estate agents have keen insights into the housing market and often know of available properties not listed on popular rental websites. During housing shortages, this access can greatly increase your chances of finding that rare gem.
For homeowners
From the homeowner’s point of view, putting a house or apartment up for rent can be overwhelming. A real estate agent can assist with various tasks, such as taking professional photos of the property, organising viewings and even managing credit and reference checks for potential tenants.
In addition, real estate agents are marketing experts. They can boost the visibility of a rental property through specialised platforms, virtual tours and social media.
