The RIGHT CHARLOTTE REALTOR!

Okay, so our youngest just took a job in Chicago and he used Roomster to find something there. He had my husband take a look at the site to see some of his options and he was very impressed with the site. You'll have to give that one a whirl too, Kevin!

We had both warned Ryan NOT to get on Craigslist!

Thanks for the heads-up Kevin. I virtually never have to think about apartments, but every once in a blue moon I've got someone who needs something even if temporarily.

I'm sure others will get some mileage out of it.... we don't do rentals unless we need to rent an apt for an investor client....

We don't handle rentals outside of asking our agents if they know of anyone who will rent to their client. Sounds like you may have found a great source to send people to.
