Not Ready to Buy? Realtors® Rent
It’s easy to pigeonhole Realtors® as strictly for those lucky clients who are in the position to buy or sell, but their expertise doesn’t end there. Renting is a large part of business for many Realtors®, and it’s not just seasonal rentals, either.
Homeownership has a lot of benefits, but sometimes it’s not the right time for you to buy. Maybe you’re waiting to save a little bit more money on a down payment, or you’re indecisive about the area and want to give it a trial run without the commitment, or maybe you have a flexible job that could move you in the next few months. Whatever your situation is, if it’s renting you’re looking to do, it’s a Realtor® you should be looking for.
If you’re not using a Realtor® to rent, you could be setting yourself up for disappointment. Craigslist, word of mouth, even Facebook are ways to find places, but chances are they’re not the places you’re going to end up in.
A Realtor® can show you vetted properties in your budget, location, and the timeframe you desire — no more scouring the new listings on Craigslist at all hours to be the first to schedule an appointment or having to track down your cousin’s girlfriend because you heard she might be moving out of her coveted Hoboken rental soon.
You’ll get guidance, expertise and, most importantly, peace of mind when you enlist a Realtor® to help you find the perfect place for you. Because even though it’s a rental and won’t last forever, it’s still home to you and that’s the most important part.
