I'm hoping to relocate to the Boston area sometime Soon^TM^ and this is a great future resource for me!
With respect to rental agents — is this something where individuals have to seek them out ourselves, or will the landlord of any particular rental unit point applicants towards their preferred agent/agency?
You'll generally find an agent and let them show you around. The only places that work with preferred agents are the really big properties with dozens or hundreds of units. Even then you can work with your own agent, but if you go for new luxury towers that are working on getting leased up they'll often cover the fee.
Awesome, thanks for the help!
