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.
