A new blog from my web producer just went up about her experience with real estate agents when trying to rent an apartment.

She thinks you need one, but it might be hard finding the right one and gives the rundown of three agents she worked with and has named:

  • Real estate agent #1: The No-Show
  • Real estate agent #2: All Style, No Substance
  • Real estate agent #3: Towing the Company Line
