I am relocating to the DC area in October for work. My wife and I will be visiting the area within the next 1-2 weeks to find a place to live. We will rent to start.
We are looking at the District and the Maryland suburbs within reach of the metro line. We are looking at the Washington Post ads, Craigslist, and basic Internet searches for private rentals and apartment complexes.
Can you tell me if there are resources / assistance / specialists who can work with us long distance and when we get there in locating places that fit our criteria, so we will have a better idea of where to look when we arrive? Otherwise, I am completely lost in figuring how to find places within my needs and how I will set appointments to see them all in a 2-3 day visit. Many thanks for your help.
