REAL ESTATE-APARTMENT HUNTING THE EASY WAY!

MAKE LOOKING FOR AN APARTMENT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. SIMPLE AND EASY WAYS TO DO SO.

DO'S AND DON'TS FROM 33 YEAR VETERAN BROKER

1)AVOID CRAIGSLIST,NY FOR IT HAS BECOME A DUMPING GROUND FOR SHADY AGENTS WHO TRY & HIDE THE FEES, AND A PLACE FOR GREEDY LANDLORDS WITH 40 PAGE APPILICATIONS.

2) ONCE YOU SELECTED THE AREAS OF CONSIDERATION TO LIVE, GO DIRECTLY TO A NEIGHBORHOOD REALTOR WHO HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR DECADES. CHECK THEIR OLD FASHIONED WINDOW DISPLAY WITH CURRENT NEW APARTMENT LISTINGS. YOU CAN ALSO GO TO SITES LIKE 'TRULIA', 'HOT PADS', OR FIND MY ROOF'.

IN CONCLUSION, BE PREPARED WITH PAY STUBS, GET FREE ONLINE CREDIT REPORT, ALONG WITH THE MONIES NEEDED TO ATTAIN AN APARTMENT THAT YOU WANT. THE OLD SAYING STILL STANDS TRUE, 'YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR'.
