At our most recent Life After Bryn Mawr event on April 10th, members of the Life After Bryn Mawr Committee (Rachel Heiser, Jancy Munguia ’14 and Palak Bhandari ’16) and Cruz Arroyo, Administrative Assistant in LILAC, discussed the basics of navigating housing after Bryn Mawr.
For those of you that may have missed this session, we will be planning to hold a second session during Senior Week 2017. Below is a compilation of some of the important takeaways from this session.
Key People to know about when finding housing
When finding housing, it is important to know the different people you may come into contact with throughout the search process and while you are renting a property.
Realtor – Essentially the person that helps to generate interest in a property and connects two parties; after finding housing, you may not interact with a realtor as frequently, if at all.
Landlord/Property Manager – The person who arranges the lease agreement, takes care of daily needs at the property and is the go-to person for maintenance needs
Property Owner – The person who actually owns the building and land that the property is on.
It may take some effort to find them, but coupons can save you a TON of money at the grocery store, mall, online shopping, etc.
