You can start the process by submitting a form for a property you’re interested in. A licensed agent will follow up to confirm availability and help schedule a showing.

This varies by property, but typically ranges from one to one-and-a-half months’ rent. Your agent can confirm the exact amount for any specific property.

Each listing is different. Some include utilities like water or heat; others do not. Your agent can clarify what’s included (electric, gas, internet, parking, etc.) for any property you’re interested in.

After you view a property and decide to move forward, your agent will walk you through the landlord’s application process, which typically includes:

• Credit and background check

• Proof of income/employment

• Rental history or references

• Application fee

No problem! Many agents offer virtual tours, video walk-throughs, or can send updated photos. Let us know your situation and we’ll work around it.

Most landlords charge an application fee — typically $25–$50 per adult applicant — to cover background checks. Your agent will let you know the exact cost for any listing.

Not always, but having a licensed agent helps you:

• Navigate the process faster

• Avoid scams or overpriced listings

• Get inside access to upcoming or off-market rentals

• Have someone to advocate on your behalf with landlords

There’s typically no cost to you for using a rental agent — the landlord or listing broker usually covers the commission.

Some listings allow pets, while others have restrictions or additional fees. Ask your agent to help find pet-friendly rentals in your price range.
