An Agent to look at Rentals?
Is it standard that you now need a real estate agent to look at rental properties now? We just moved to Chicago. Despite contacting agents regarding their rentals that I found online, they never get back to me directly until its too late/rented. However, if we have a friend, who is an agent, contact them they do show us the place in a timely manner.
We did not have this problem in DC or Denver when we rented there. Just wondering if this is a new policy to me or possibly a regional thing?
(I guess I feel guilt contacting our agent to keep showing us properties when we aren't buying anything...?)
Thanks!

Yes, I am in Chicago and we used a realtor to find our last place. Before that we used an apartment finding agency. You can find rentals online at places like domo or craigslist too. Many of the realtor websites have a rental option you can search from. I believe @properties, Koenig & Strey, and Baird & Warner all do.
