What? Your Agent Won't Help you Find a Rental?
This happens all of the time. Rentals are as much work as a sale and the payment is very little. As a courtesy for a client I will always help a homeseller out and find them a place to rent.
There is not a pecking order for Realtors®.
There is no Realtor® who can only do rentals or only do listings, or only work withbuyers. That is a choice they make.
So, if you have an agent who just sold your home and you are looking for a rental, ask them to help you. They are quite capable of doing so. If they choose not to it is probably because they are too lazy, after all there is not much money in rentals. But, they are doing you a disservice. They presumably made a nice enough commission on the sale of your property that they should continue to provide you with service.
If you have an agent who is helping you to purchase a home, but meanwhile you need to lease, then please use the same agent to help you with the lease. Don't tell me that the agent "doesn't do leases". Again, they are going to make a nice enough commission on the purchase of a home for you that they should put themselves out and help you find a rental.
I dropped a rental client today because I found out they were also looking to buy, but with another agent who "doesn't do leases."
See me do a double-take.
Grrrr.
P.S. So that there is no misunderstanding here, my point is thatanyone is entitled not to do rentals. I don not think that they are entitled to tell an existing client that they don't do them and offer no solutiuon.
