If you are new to the apartment searching experience, the first thing you need to know is that much of the online marketing you encounter is unregulated bait-and-switch fluff. When doing your research, anything less than straight facts exist for the interest of the agent-- and not you.
This is why I found Shane's services valuable. He considered my inexperienced in apartment shopping, his recommendations remained focused on my criteria, and he invites the customer to filter through the database listings with him in person. This kind of transparency was a refreshing contrast to the lawless frontier of Craigslist and other online sources. Next time I have to do this, I will use Shane again.
