    If you have an agent that drives to the rental property, talks to you let you in walks around with you for 15 minutes maybe

    Half the time they just send you a (usually wrong) door code or tell you to knock on the door and ask the existing tenants.

    But also, the onus to pay a broker should NEVER be on the renter. That’s a transaction between the broker and the landlord. If a landlord can’t afford a broker they can show the place themselves. If a renter can’t afford a broker they’re locked out of the transaction altogether.
