Using a Realtor to find rentals
 

Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but just wondered if anyone had used a Realtor to help find rental properties please?

we've used property rental agents/ management companies... not a realtor though.

Not many Realtors deal in Residential Rentals, but some do, generally they are with Brokers who specialise in Rentals.

Ask around, and search the net...... Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Were hoping to get the help of the most wonderful helpful Realtor to find us short and long term rentals when we arrive in Calgary in August/September:thumbup: He offers immigration/relocation assistance alongside his Realtor role. Wonderful wonderful man.

Where are you trying to find a rental? PM me if it's in the Calgary area and I can share more information.:thumbsup:

I'm a Realtor and I help people find rental accommodation as part of the free relocation service I provide.

You will find many of the Realtors who offer relocation assistance have a number of contacts for short term and long term rentals.

I spend quite a bit of my time previewing and arranging rental properties for people, it's all part of the service we provide.

We used a realtor to help find a house in Ottawa. It was an efficient way to find a house during a very short recce trip although by ignoring the privately listed market we seriously limited our options.

In Alberta to be a professional property manager you also have to be a realtor. Some companies employ realtors to be the property manager for that company.

I now do property management, as well as buy and sell real estate. I have over 60 units on my books. Furnished and unfurnished, short and long term.

Two years ago the rules changed in Alberta and those who have qualified to be a realtor in the last two years have had to do a special additional course in property management.

Pm me if you want to know more about property management,

Indeed.

Re: Using a Realtor to find rentals
 

We used a realtor before we even moved here so that he could get some properties lined up for us to see when we landed. we found a house within the first week of landing. though we later found out that being in a condo meant not being able to have our dog with us, so make sure that you become familiar with some of the renters terminolgy before starting.

When we arrived , we stayed in a hotel for 8 days and learnt of rentfaster.ca and bingo !!!! we found a great house ( fully furnished). The houses on this site are advertised by the owners so there was no need of a middle man.
