Summer is a particularly difficult time to find rentals as there are many seasonal rentals and a good number of year around rentals, but no central listing service. Yes there are in fact listings on www.riliving.com, www.craigslist.com, et al, but unlike the Statewide MLS which lists most of the houses in a single location, no such single source exists. Print media and web media also tends to force the potential tenant to read through all of the listings to find the one he or she wants. They generally are not organized be anything other than town or city. If they were at least separated by long term and short term rentals and by price range, the process would be much easier. Amplifying the problem is the fact that many landlords and their agents continue to put the same listing in over and over with different posts. So there are more listing to wade through than there are in fact.
One of the reason people engage a rental agent is to streamline that process. Moreover, a good rental agent will know which areas best meet your needs. This will be time saving and convenient. So contact a rental agent, preferably one of our team members at Phipps Realty, to help you find what you are looking for quickly.
