First time trying a realty company. Very disappointed. Went to Rapid Realty after seeing so many posts by their agents on Craigslist under no-fee rentals. Why not go to the source? After telling the agent to whom we were connected our requirements three times over two days before meeting him, he still didn't have listings ready for us. After waiting for thirty minutes in the office our agent and another took us out to look at apartments. The first was $100 over our budget and included a fee, which we said we were avoiding. Also in a neighborhood we said we didn't like. Our original agent had quit speaking at this point, and the driver's idea of showing an apartment was to plop down in the guy's recliner and telling us to ""Go ahead, look around."" They struck another apartment off the list because it was also in a neighborhood we didn't like. At this point my girlfriend snuck a look at the list and saw that only one of the five apartments had no fee. They didn't have the keys for the third apartment they showed us. So, after two hours of our time, we had seen one apartment that was out of our budget. Our agent said he would call next day with more listings; didn't. We took a place that day, he finally called the next. Everyone we dealt with was very nice though.
Pros: very friendly
Cons: overpriced properties, disorganized, not up-front
