Do realtors simplify renting in K-ville?

Yes, Realtors don't make any money on the rental so most won't do it. Some of the larger agencies do it as a temporary resource for clients that later intend to buy. When you see agents on television dealing with rentals, like Million Dollar Listing in Los Angeles, the do make a percentage of the first month's rent, but we are talking something like $20,000 or more - a lot more! - a month for a rental. Don't get me wrong, they will still get a percentage but they would lose money in the long run so they don't do it. They need to get paid for their time just like anyone else.

It's hard to find a landlord that is willing to rent to a person with a "bully" breed. Most insurance companies, if they find out, will cancel the insurance. And no you can't get your own liability insurance for the dog. I hear that all the time. Even if you could get that in place, the landlord will still need insurance and the company will not have any of it. You can find people that don't know any better but most people are getting hip to this.

I agree ! When I look at propertys in Florida and I use a Realtor I pay them a small fee and buy the fuel too. Maybe 100.00 with the promise of not going around them if I purchase.
